About this episode

Gilly Smith interviews Rachel Khoo about her self-published memoir and experiences in Paris.

 This week, Gilly is with the author of  The Smallest Restaurant in Paris , Rachel Khoo Now, you may know her as the author of  The Little Paris Kitchen and   the star of the BBC’s cooler original version of Emily in Paris - without the haute couture or the PR job, a young Brit abroad, feeling her way through being in Paris and cooking in her tiny kitchen. Now she’s written a memoir about those years, and – whisper it - published it herself. A self-published book by someone with 400k followers on Instagram? How? Why? Well, as we find out, Rachel has never been the kind of girl to do what she’s told. In true Rachel Khoo spirit, Gilly is paving her own streets of gold on this podcast through the economy of kindness. If you like what you hear,  do click here to make a contribution.
