This week, I sat down with food creator Seema Pankhania, best known as @seemagetsbaked, with over 2 million followers on social media. She shares her journey from training at Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat to becoming a presenter and writing her debut cookbook, Craveable.
We talk about her rise as a food personality, her experience appearing on live TV, and the terrifying moment that nearly ended it all—when she fell off a literal cliff.
If you’re dreaming of a career in food, this is a must-listen. Seema offers honest insights, valuable lessons, and plenty of inspiration.
I’m so proud of this episode and had the best time talking all things food with Seema.
