S8: Ep3 Cooking with trees and meals for one, a kinder Christmas with Julia Georgallis
Episode 3
Sunday, 30 November, 2025

This episode opens with a question you probably haven't asked yourself: what exactly can you do with a Christmas tree… besides decorate it? It turns out, quite a lot. I'm joined by food writer and baker Julia Georgallis for a conversation about the bits of Christmas we rarely talk about. It may look glittery, but for many people it's a season of waste piling up, stretched budgets and surprising moments of loneliness. Julia brings refreshing honesty, humour and plenty of practical ideas. We talk about the ten–year journey behind her book How to Eat Your Christmas Tree, the quiet comfort of eating alone - inpired by her podcast How to Eat Alone, why tins deserve more respect, and simple ways to support people who are struggling. If you're looking for a lighter, kinder, more creative approach to December, this one's for you.
