About this episode
How do we FEED our ambition? I'm joined by TV Chef and "Challah Mummy" Allegra Benitah for a conversation on FEED. We get right into:
- What FEEDs Allegra's ambition and how this has changed over the years
- What FEEDs her passion for all things challah and growing fruit and veg at home
- Allegra's decision to step away from her career as a Magic Circle Tax Lawyer when she became a mother - and how that doesn't make her any less ambitious for herself
Here's a quote from Allegra that I adore "Being a mother ramped everything up for me intellectually".
