Episode notes
Use Wild Garlic To Finish Spring Dishes
- Use wild garlic as a fresh seasonal green to finish dishes, add to pesto, risotto, or wilt with asparagus and broccoli for a light garlicky note.
- It's milder than bulb garlic, available seasonally about a month or frozen from Waitrose for year-round use.
Living With Parents During Renovation
- Maisie moved back in with her parents while gutting a house with her husband and shared awkward family moments like her mum walking in on her showering with a wedding dress on.
- She describes living in a four-person sofa movie-night routine and the anxiety of builders sending demolition videos as proof of progress.
How An Ice Cream Van Launched Her Comedy Career
- Maisie worked in an ice cream van after university and used the job to earn cash while starting comedy, even getting calls about competition progress while serving ice creams.
- She entered So You Think You're Funny, pulled sickies to attend semi and final, and credited the van gig for getting her noticed.
