Ollie Gold's Home Truths
Everyone, this is Ollie. Why ask him for his Home Truths?
Cos he started Pophams - the best bakery in London doing croissants, coffee, pasta and a host of other great stuff. I go there at least twice a week.
1. The song to put a smile on your face…
Whatevers Comfortable - Odetta.
2. You can only watch one film for the next three months… What is it?
'89.
3. The TV series you want everyone to watch:
I enjoyed Chernobyl but I don’t really watch series, sorry!
4. The book you most recommend to people:
Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life by Hector Garcia.
5. The subject you’ve put off exploring that’s now top of your to-do list:
Football coaching. I just signed up to do my FA coaching badges having done a lot of research in lockdown with slightly more time on my hands!
6. The wild card you wish more people knew about…
IOTA EDIT, an online art shop and subscription service.
7. We’re allowed dinner parties again… What are you cooking?
Slow roasted sticky Pork Belly, Ooni oven pitta breads, pickles, crispy onions and crackling with a thick chili gravy sauce. Quite strange, quite kebab like.
8. Everything’s back open. What’s the first coffee shop, restaurant or pub you’re visiting?
Gymkhana in Mayfair if I have any money left! Otherwise Flat Earth Pizza in Homerton.
P.S. What you know now, that you wish you knew then…
I’ve learned the delivery drivers are legends and delivering to 100’s of flats a day must be super stressful. New found love and respect for them.
C’est fini... Now what?
