#5 - Flying High, Cooking Bold: Simon Gault’s Forkin' Good Origin Story
This week, it’s Simon’s turn in the hot seat!

It’s packed with stories of grit, luck, and “fail fast, fix fast” moments — plus the advice that’s guided Simon ever since.Kate and Simon also chat about food waste and the Love Food Hate Waste “Great Date Debate” busting myths about best before vs use by dates!💬 Join the chat: Comment on YouTube to enter our Forking Good giveaways (including Simon’s book!).📦 This week’s takeaway: Your nose knows — and your fridge deserves an Eat Me First section.Follow the podcast on Instagram and Tiktok: @forkingoodpodFollow Simon on his channels below:Instagram: @simon_gaultFacebook: @OfficialsimongaultTiktok: SimonjgaultYoutube: Simon GaultFollow Waste-ed with Kate here:Instagram: @wastedwithkateFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wastefreewithkateTiktok: wasted.kateYoutube: Waste-ed with Kate
