This week I sat down with Naomi to explore the timeless traditions of English food, diving deep into the stories behind iconic dishes like fish and chips and afternoon tea. Naomi shares the history and evolution of fish and chips, the importance of crispy batter, and why certain regions in England have their own unique take on this beloved meal.

Plus, we talk about the differences between cream tea and high tea, and the proper way to enjoy your scones – cream first or jam first? (Spoiler: We don’t agree!)

Join me as we explore British food culture, traditions, and Naomi's unique take on some beloved dishes. Make sure to listen until the end, where I tease next week’s episode with more stories from Naomi about her cafe and bakery adventures!
