From the hustle of finance to the heat of the kitchen, Mark Selby, co-founder of Wahaca, sits down with me to serve up a story that's as flavourful as it is insightful. With a dash of serendipity, Mark recounts the pivotal moments that took him from the world of finance into the arms of the restaurant industry, alongside Thomasina Miers. Together, they've stirred up more than just tantalising dishes, giving birth to Wahaca in the vibrant heart of Covent Garden. Their tale is one of blending a passion for Mexican culture with a stringent ethos of sustainability, setting their restaurant group apart in the UK's competitive dining scene.As we peel back the layers of Wahaca's journey, Mark doesn't shy away from the raw, often chaotic beginnings of restaurant life. Picture this: an opening night flooded with a flooded kitchen forcing it to close its doors for the day! Mark and Tommi's perseverance through staffing challenges and operational hurdles has seasoned Wahaca with resilience, transforming early struggles into the sweet taste of success and a coveted spot in the UK's sustainable dining sphere. Their story is a testament to the fact that the road to greatness is often paved with trials, and sometimes, the best spice in life is a little bit of chaos.We wrap up our chat by toasting to innovation and the relentless drive for sustainability that marks the modern business landscape. Mark shares how curiosity and a pinch of competitiveness have led Wahaca to pioneer eco-conscious milestones, like introducing the UK's first carbon-negative beer on tap. It's a narrative that's as much about the spirit of entrepreneurship as it is about the steadfast commitment to pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a sustainable, culture-rich dining experience. Pull up a chair and savor the rich, unfolding story of a restaurant that's as committed to the environment as it is to your taste buds.Support the show

Today I'm thrilled to be joined by a huge role model of mine, Thomasina Miers. Thomasina is a cook, who many might know for winning Masterchef, a writer, restauranteur and the co-founder of the successful Mexican street food restaurant, Wahaca. Thomasina has openly spoken about her own struggles with her mental health, particularly during her 20s. Her family has a history of both depression and alcoholism and her grandmother very sadly committed suicide when Thomasina was just 21. Thomasina also had a difficult relationship with food growing up and she admits that her childhood played a pivotal role in her getting caught up in a diet and binge cycle. However, it was ironically when she finally discovered food as a career that her life changed and it ultimately became her medicine.

There's a growing anxiety around avocados. With more awareness of their impact on the countries where they are grown, some chefs have been reducing their presence on menus. Are worries about their sustainability well-founded? Why do we focus so much on avocados and could we replace this contentious fruit with something else? Leyla Kazim meets chef Adriana Cavita at her new Mexican restaurant to talk about growing up with Avocados and how she has tackled the issue of their sustainability. Leyla talks to food systems expert and the writer of a forthcoming book on avocados Honor Eldridge about the issues in the production of avocados in the Global South. She also gets a mini tour of avocado trees growing in London from garden designer and tropical plant fan Rob Stacewicz. Political commentator Ash Sarkar talks to Leyla about avocado's status as a meme in our public discourse. Wahaca owner and chef Thomasina Miers makes an alternative for Leyla to try.

Sarah Langford was a barrister, living and working in the city. But then she found herself moving to the countryside, back to an agricultural life she thought she had left behind. There she saw farmers dealing with problems very different from those faced by her grandfather, who had helped to feed a starving nation after the war. Beleaguered with the challenges of climate change, Brexit and falling incomes, these farmers faced accusations of ecological mismanagement from a hostile media and public. But, as Langford looked to them to teach her about the land, she also found a new generation of farmers on a path of regenerative change. That journey is now the topic of Langford's recent book, Rooted: Stories of Life, Land and a Farming Revolution. Joining her in conversation to discuss it is Thomasina Miers, the cook, writer, broadcaster and co-founder of the restaurant group Wahaca.  … We are incredibly grateful for your support.

In recent years our supermarket shelves have undergone a transformation. Sections once devoted solely to meat and animal products have been partitioned to include a new plant-based category, with everything from spins on classics like tofu and seitan, to modern products like Quorn and the lab-designed Impossible and Beyond burgers. In this episode of All Consuming, Charlotte Williams gives you something to chew on in a surprisingly meaty topic - examining the plant-based product revolution and its potential environmental benefits, and finding out if “vegan” is a dirty word. Charlotte meets author and entrepreneur Thomasina Miers to discuss dialling back on our high-carbon diets, checks in with vegan-accredited farmer Laurence Candy, learns about the health and environmental benefits of plant-based alternatives from Dr Chris Bryant, and breaks bread with vegan YouTube superstar Gaz Oakley.

Have you ever wondered why chocolate tastes so good, why it is so completely and utterly scrumdiddlyumptious? In fact the raw cocoa bean tastes horrible, and it takes a lot to turn this tropical rainforest nut into chocolate.  Humans have loved it for longer than you might think, and the Aztecs drank it before going into battle. But only about 120 years ago, after a young Swiss company called Nestlé started adding milk and sugar to chocolate, did we really fall in love with it. Besides eating it, and drinking it, we have also used it as currency, to disguise a bomb and as a prop in early horror films. This podcast is read by Thomasina Miers with sound editing by Max Watson.

Thomasina Miers, założycielka sieci restauracji Wahaca i publicystka kulinarna dziennika Guardian, rozmawia z gospodarzem Shelbym Stangerem o swoich zmieniających życie podróżach przez Meksyk. Zakochała się w meksykańskim jedzeniu i była zszokowana, gdy dowiedziała się, że najzwyczajniej nie było go w Wielkiej Brytanii w latach 90. XX wieku. Postanowiła więc sama zostać szefem kuchni i otworzyła meksykańską restaurację.

This is a race against time. Earlier this year The Food Programme set out to record stories of foods around the world facing extinction, a project that has provided dramatic accounts from the depths of Anatolian caves to the heights of Indonesian rainforest canopies. In this episode Jamie Oliver, Thomasina Miers and chef Paula McIntyre talk about the tastes, flavours and ingredients which are facing extinction. The gathered stories all come from the Ark of Taste; an ever-growing list of endangered foods from 100 different countries across the world. Created by the International Slow Food movement, the food NGO founded in Italy 30 years ago, the Ark of Taste is backed by the United Nations as well as the European Union. As the biblical reference indicates, this Ark is on a mission to prevent extinction and protect biodiversity. The Food Programme is about to start a new mini series of stories found within the Ark of Taste. Each week - in Monday's edition of The Food Programme - listeners can hear about an ingredient or recipe, find out why it is disappearing and why it is important to save. But before he unveils a new batch of forgotten flavours, Dan Saladino plays out some of his favourite stories from our last series. Produced by Becky Ripley.
