To kick off S2 we have a nose around Rosie Kellet’s kitchen which she shares with friends in an East London warehouse.

Over homemade banana bread (with no shortage of butter) Rosie explains the story behind the communal cooking set up that has catapulted her onto your foodie radar.

What is a fridge defender? How does the budgeting really work when you’re communally living in a warehouse? And who is Pier?

There’s even a run in with a flat car battery and a heroic man called Rod, but we’ll get to that later.

Chatting over the best homemade ceviche and a Paloma, Karla opened her kitchen cupboards and shares stories from her childhood in Baja California. And while she makes a mean ceviche, Karla’s idea of heaven is Friday night courgette pasta with her family or a table surrounded by people she loves.

But while Helena and Karla get stuck into the kitchen cupboards, Producer Izzy suffers an unfortunate mishap in Karla’s kitchen...

In the midst of a 32 degree heatwave, we had a nose round Joe Woodhouse’s kitchen and did a deep dive on his splendiferous new cookbook More Daily Veg.

Over devilled eggs, some home-brewed cider and a game changing potato soup (trust us) we chatted crockery sales outside of London, having your photography studio at home and the wonderful Wilfred made a few appearances too.

Of course, there’s a fridge excavation full of ferments and French cheeses and a lesson in home brewing.
