Patrick is joined by Thomasina Miers, co-founder of Mexican street food restaurant chain Wahaca
Thomasina found fame on Masterchef Goes Large, and in 2019, was awarded an OBE for services to the food industry. In the podcast, Thomasina explains how the avocado hype has had a hugely detrimental effect for chefs and local people where they are grown in South America.
“…we no longer have the luxury of being able to just put food in our mouths and think about where it’s come from. All of us now in terms of saving the planet have to realise that what we eat is completely wound up with global warming and the future of the planet for our children.”
