For the last episode of the ‘Ameliarate Through Wine’ podcast it is an honour to have as my guest – the passionate and innovative podcaster and multimedia storyteller, Hannah Harley Young. After running her own photography company for 10 years, Hannah made the brave decision to embrace her other love in life FOOD by creating the multimedia platform and company – Crazy Sexy Food.

I find what she has created in 5 years extraordinary. She launched her Crazy Sexy Food podcast in 2020 which within the first month was in the top 10 for UK podcasts. This has evolved into a multimedia platform full of fantastic short films exploring her foodie forays around London with some of the movers and shakers in the food scene. Similarly as how I view wine, Hannah adores food but equally loves the conversations, industry leaders and connections with culture that one can experience through Food.

This is a jam packed episode where we explore how her mixed heritage made her appreciate the wider context around cuisine, the evolution of the photography industry as well as the London food scene, what it takes to be a solopreneur and content creator, the nuances of body positivity and imposter syndrome PLUS much more..

I had SUCH fun choosing wines for this ep – the first being a gorgeous slightly sparkling Spanish white from Txakoli which paired perfectly with pickled onion monster munch crisps ( Hannah’s fave!). We then tasted one of the most exciting whites I have had all year – a stunning white blend from Syria’s only privately owned winery and finished with the perfect Italian summer red from a Tuscan winery close to my heart.

There really is something for everyone in this episode and I couldn’t have imagined wrapping up Series 2 with a better guest or wine.
