S1 E9 Food and Motherhood with Ana Ros
Life in Food with Laura Price
05/18/22 • 50 min
In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I speak to Ana Ros, chef-owner of Hisa Franko restaurant in the beautiful Soca Valley, Slovenia. Ana was named The World’s Best Female Chef in 2017 and Hisa Franko is a regular on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. But beyond the accolades, Ana is a hard-working mother of two, struggling with the same issues every mother experiences. In the episode, we talk about anorexia and baby loss, encouraging her children to try new foods and experiencing guilt as a working mum.
About Ana Ros:
Ana became a chef by accident, taking over her then-husband Valter’s restaurant when her father-in-law retired. That meant turning down a job as a diplomat in Brussels, which led her own father to stop talking to her. Since then, Ana has starred in her own episode of the brilliant Chef’s Table documentary on Netflix and has won countless accolades. In 2020, she published her beautiful memoir, Sun and Rain, featuring recipes alongside moving stories on everything from losing a baby to suffering from anorexia, and overcoming family pressure to follow a different career path.

In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I speak to Sian-Meades Williams, founder of the Freelance Writing Jobs newsletter and author of the new non-fiction book The Pyjama Myth: The Freelance Writer's Survival Guide. Like me, Sian is a food-obsessed freelancer who tailors her life around meals and spends an inordinate amount of time 'peruse bouching' (that's Sian's term for menu-browsing), so we had much to discuss. In the episode, we talk about everything from figuring out what success looks like as a freelancer to banana sandwiches, original Hula Hoops and 'happy soup'. This is a worthwhile listen not just for the self-employed, but for anyone grappling with working from home or simply trying to discover what they want from life.
