Poppy O’Toole - aka Poppy Cooks (Part One)

Emily and Ray have taken a trip up to Worcestershire this week for a walk with professional chef, TikTok star and Sunday Times bestselling author Poppy O’Toole - who is better known as Poppy Cooks. 

Poppy has two dogs: a pug called Crypto and a German Shepherd called Red. Together with Ray - they make a very unlikely gang of dog pals!

Poppy tells us about how losing her job as a chef in the pandemic led her to becoming a social media sensation with over 5 million total followers. She shares some of the difficult experiences she has had as a young female chef, and she tells us about a surprisingly delicious frozen supermarket paella. 

The Actually Delicious Slow Cooker Cookbook is out on 12th September - featuring 90 mouth-watering recipes that focus on ease and convenience without breaking the bank or sacrificing flavour, it is the book you need to get great food on the table at the end of a busy day.
