Ep 2. How to feed your ravenous vegetarian teens + stories from the frontline of parenthood | Meg Mason

Hello and welcome back to Dish podcast. I hope isolation is treating you well. We’ve just heard in Sydney that we can now have a friend over at our house, so I’m doing just that with my guest today.

Meg Mason is an author, journalist, humourist and my friend. She’s written for the Financial Times and Vogue, Elle and countless others and she’s written two books with another, a novel, out this year.

In this episode of Dish with Kate Gibbs, Meg jokes of her ability to turn any recipe into something akin to bolognese, but as a mother of two teenagers, she’s had to learn some tricks to sating their ravenous appetites over the years. She tell stories of coping with their current vegetarian status and shows us how it's done. She makes nut loaf roast, and puts beans and pulses in almost everything.

We learn how to take motherhood cooking in your stride. Also, we learn how to do a desk lunch from this seasoned freelancer, who has worked from home most of her career.

There’s so much to take from this hilariously funny, clever writer, mum of two, and home cook. You can preorder her latest novel, Sorrow and Bliss, a Harper Collins book, from Booktopia and other places books are sold today. I hope you enjoy this episode, I loved this intimate and funny, funny conversation about food and motherhood.
