S16 Ep4: Eleanor Wilkinson on the joy of cooking for one, how one podcast changed her life and the dishes that have shaped her life
Desert Island DishesShow Notes
My guest today is Eleanor Wilkinson.
Eleanor is a content creator and recipe developer from East Yorkshire. Having always loved food and cooking she made the decision to quit her job in the charity sector and embark on turning her passion into a full time career.
She started her series, One Pot, One Portion - recipes for people who eat, cook, or live alone but are tired of washing up and was soon getting millions of views on social media and quickly amassed some 600,000 followers on Instagram. She has now released a cookbook of the same name and counts the one and only Nigella Lawson as a huge fan.
Nigella described the book as a “brilliant, beyond brilliant idea” and we know Nigella is never wrong.
Thank you so much to the brilliant Maldon Salt for sponsoring this season of Desert Island Dishes. I am a huge fan and long-time genuine customer so to be working with them is a dream come true.

I've admired Asma and her work for many years now, I absolutely loved her episode of Chefs Table on Netflix, Ihighly recommend if you haven’t seen it. So it really was a pleasure to sit down with her and hear her story first hand.
Nicola is the best selling author and pastry chef behind the Sunday Times bestselling Sift and also her hugely successful newsletter Kitchen Projects. Her knowlege of baking is hugely impressive having trained at top London and New York bakeries including Ottolenghi, Dominique Ansel and Little Bread Pedlar.
Martha is something of an anomaly these days. She grows (a lot of) her own food… and is an avid urban gardener from London.
