Joy is Morning Pages, with Sarah Winman

Honey & Co: The Food Sessions is back for season 11 with a brand new theme: JOY. In times like these, when the world can feel a little overwhelming, it’s more important than ever to seek out and savour the joy wherever we can find it. Working in restaurants, we have three moments in a day to bring joy: breakfast, lunch and dinner, but what about the moments in between? This question is at the heart of the latest season of The Food Sessions which sees us sit down with brilliant people from all walks of life: chefs, broadcasters, comedians and fashion designers to not only talk about what they do day-to-day, but also to explore the passions that enrich their lives. In this episode we talk to Sarah Winman, a British actor and author of some of our favourite books, including the critically acclaimed bestseller Still Life . She grew up in Essex and now lives in London. She attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and went on to act in theatre, film, and television, but she decided that she wanted to write a novel. While taking an ‘Exploring Fiction’ course at City Lit, Sarah realised she was already writing what was to become her highly acclaimed debut, When God Was A Rabbit. Sarah went on to write Tin Man, A Year of Marvellous Ways and Still Life, which she is currently adapting for TV. We love Sarah! We talked about joy as an act of rebellion, her first memories of joy, the serenity of the sea, morning pages, her love for Italy, singing, playing football and the trilogy: gratitude, joy and beauty. It was a true tonic to talk to Sarah, we hope you enjoy. This season is sponsored by Square, the point of sale system that we use in all our restaurants.
