This week I sit down with Ella Mills a food writer and businesswoman, best known for the plant-based 'Deliciously Ella' food blog and brand. Beyond the beautifully curated brand of Deliciously Ella lies a story waiting to be discovered. Ella, the inspiring woman behind it all, is not just a successful businesswoman; she embodies the message she shares with the world.
Her journey began with a personal struggle. Diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome at university, she turned to a plant-based diet in search of relief. With unwavering determination, Ella, then a novice cook, experimented with recipes and documented them online. Little did she know, this online diary would blossom into the immensely popular blog, Deliciously Ella.
Her passion blossomed into an empire; with over 130 million blog hits, a thriving social media presence, and a dedicated community, Deliciously Ella has become a force for good. Today, it encompasses supper clubs, cooking classes, a top-ranked mobile app, a best-selling cookbook, and a successful product line of breakfast cereals, energy balls, and oat bars. She's an inspiration, and I I truly hope you'll enjoy learning about her story as much as I did.

It's a sad reality that there are no changing facilities in men's bathrooms. I have complained to a number of shopping centres in the UK about this exact thing and it's not only an Asian thing.
You both need to do more podcasts together. I love the chemistry you both have and that your not afraid to speak your truth and disagree with one another. keep it up..
It's one of the funniest ones I've heard, Dr Amir is hilarious, and I love watching him on Lorraine too. He seems like really nice person, and I will be buying the book.
Thank you both for this insightful posdcast. I follow you both, and this really resonated with me. I would love to attend Kirtan one day x
I am Indian and currently going through the adoption process. There are so many Asians out there that are on the adoption wait list waiting. it's a taboo topic in our community. It's sad that it's not a more talked about topic.
