Rachel takes us back to the beginning — leaving London with barely any money, studying pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, hustling her way through Paris and eventually creating the now legendary Little Paris Kitchen. We talk about the highs and heartbreaks of television, cookbook publishing, and why she decided to self-publish her powerful new memoir. This episode is packed with unbelievable stories: Austrian mountain summers fuelled by butter and strudel, Malaysian family feasts in 1980s Bromley, breakdancing crews in Paris, and the reality of building a career in food before Instagram existed. Rachel opens up about the challenges of working in TV, navigating rejection, motherhood whilst filming Bake Off Australia, and why meaningful hospitality matters more than fancy food. There’s also plenty of talk about pastries, Swedish comfort food, Paris markets, cookbook politics and the restaurants she keeps returning to after all these years. Alongside one of the most fascinating food journeys we’ve ever heard, Rachel also gives us her ultimate go-to meals, favourite bakeries in Paris, dream dim sum orders and the philosophy behind hosting unforgettable dinner parties. It’s warm, hilarious, emotional and full of wisdom for anyone chasing a creative dream. Rachel Khoo is every bit as brilliant as you hope she’ll be — and this might be one of our favourite conversations we’ve ever recorded.
