  • - Hello, I'm Florence Pugh

  • and this is everything I eat in a day.

  • A typical breakfast for me is,

  • first of all, I have to wake up and make myself a tea.

  • I can't have anything before I've had my tea.

  • I have a Yorkshire tea with oat milk

  • and I tend to leave the bag in.

  • I know lots of people are gonna hate me

  • and then I put the milk in

  • and I kind of give it a good brew

  • and that way you get a nice thickness to it

  • so it's like a bit of a stew.

  • Only after then can I start thinking about

  • what I want to eat.

  • Usually for breaky I'll do at least two boiled eggs.

  • They'll be medium to hard boiled.

  • So I'm thinking like four and a half minutes, five minutes.

  • I want it to be a little bit gooey, not too gooey,

  • not any runny white, and some salt on the side

  • and then a black coffee, I'll have a black Americana.

  • That will sort me out for a good few hours.

  • I don't need the egg with anything.

  • Yeah, just egg.

  • Well, it's simple.

  • I'm gearing up for lunch.

  • I grab and go, sometimes I'll make a smoothie,

  • either a protein banana, make it jazzy with some leaves

  • and some spinach stuff or I'll just take a protein bar

  • and have it with my black coffee.

  • I'm a simple breakfast person.

  • If I'm working, if I'm not working, then I'll have the lot.

  • I'll usually do what my dad does

  • and make like a half full English.

  • So then I'll do sourdough bread, two fried eggs,

  • put the lid on s o it goes crispy underneath,

  • but cooks the top

  • and then I'll do some cherry tomatoes in a bowl,

  • pop them with some olive oil, a little bit balsam,

  • salt, pepper, pop it in the microwave

  • for two minutes with some cling film on it, take it out.

  • They'll be nice and cooked.

  • Smush them up a bit and then dribble it around the eggs

  • with the toast.

  • That's my dad's special.

  • Okay, then on my snack, what I'll usually do

  • throughout the day is I'll pop into an MNS or a Pret

  • or a Leon or an Itsu

  • and I'll get one of their little protein pots

  • 'cause they're amazing

  • and I'll either get like a little bit of egg.

  • I'm gonna lead up to a lunch.

  • So, actually if I want a big lunch

  • I won't go for the little snack bowl.

  • I'll wait until I'm hungry because eating when you're hungry

  • is the best thing ever.

  • Ready for lunch.

  • I wait until I'm hungry and then I eat

  • and usually the eating process will be either

  • after an hour of me making it

  • or half an hour of me making it,

  • but I get more excited about designing the thing in my head,

  • executing it and eating it.

  • Typical lunch, I'll probably have like a late lunch.

  • I'll probably do like 3:00, maybe 3:30.

  • I know, I'm blah, blah, blah.

  • I like a bit of sustenance in the afternoon.

  • So if I'm going for like a small

  • but really energizing salad,

  • I'll go rocket spinach, obviously wash them.

  • Then I'll go finally chopped pepper in like little cubes

  • and then I'll do cherry tomatoes,

  • the ones that are on the vine.

  • Obviously, take them off the vine.

  • Don't put them in the salad

  • and then I'm gonna do cucumber, loads of cucumber,

  • red onion and I'm gonna slice it really finely

  • so that's all going in the bowl

  • and then I'm gonna do, depending on what mood I'm in,

  • I always like a bit of feta in my salads.

  • So, I'm gonna crumble the feta olive oil, nice olive oil,

  • not cooking olive oil and then maybe some rice wine vinegar

  • or some white wine vinegar

  • and then if I'm wanting a bit of spice,

  • I'll chop up a chili, maybe like that much of a chili.

  • Got it?

  • Give it a stir and then just chow down.

  • My nostalgic food lunch items from when I was younger.

  • My mom was against all of the bad foods

  • that children took into school.

  • We were never allowed the Lunchables.

  • We were never allowed any sweeties.

  • We would get sent in with fruit

  • or you remember those little cathedral cheddar things.

  • It was that or fruit, which I'm grateful for.

  • However, when I was a kid and I don't wanna touch it now,

  • but as a kid I remember I'd do like a deal

  • with my friend, Kristy,

  • and she would give me a cheese string and I hated it

  • but just kind of like out of rebellion and spite,

  • I remember eating it in the toilet

  • and being like, ha, ha, ha

  • because I knew that mom would not allow it

  • and so that's my nostalgia food item.

  • It'd be bartering being like,

  • you want one of my apples for a cheese string?

  • (Florence laughing)

  • Let's do the deal in the toilets.

  • All right, afternoon snack, just before dinner.

  • Maybe this is, oh, okay.

  • Depending on if I wanted it for dinner,

  • usually I kind of do this for dinner,

  • but if it's an afternoon snack, I make myself a cheeseboard.

  • I'll get out a manchego, I'll get out a crumbly cheddar,

  • I'll get out a goat cheese, it doesn't matter if it's gooey

  • or hard or even if it has like one of those nice crusts

  • and then I'll get some nice quince out,

  • I'll get some chutneys out, maybe a bramble and an apple

  • and an onion or whatever, get all those things out

  • and I'll make myself a little cheeseboard

  • with some crackers.

  • I don't like the big stone ground crackers.

  • I tend to like the ones with bits of cheese

  • or I'll olive or pepper on them.

  • But that's what I'd do.

  • I'd eat that and then sometimes I eat that and it's so mega

  • I don't have dinner.

  • But I don't mind.

  • I'll just have more of the cheese.

  • Whenever my friends come and visit me,

  • wherever it is that I am or I'm working

  • and they open my fridge, they all laugh

  • 'cause they're like, "This could only be your fridge."

  • All of the layers have cheese,

  • and then there's a little box at the bottom

  • with cherry tomatoes and vegetables.

  • It's just cheese and vegetables.

  • What I fancy for dinner is I'm gonna go home to my parents

  • and my dad has this wonderful ability

  • of looking in the fridge where there's nothing

  • and just creating this mega feast

  • and I'm gonna get dad to cook me his famous roast chicken

  • with his potatoes and Chorizo and his vegetables

  • and what he does with the potatoes.

  • I think I've cooked them once in my Cooking with Flo,

  • but basically he does,

  • he cubes up a potato with an onion and garlic

  • and puts it in the pan.

  • And then it cooks for about, I'd say like 15, 20 minutes,

  • getting stickier and crispier and that

  • with a roast chicken and some gravy.

  • That's what I want for din-dins.

  • I do like a dessert, but it's not, I'm not,

  • I don't go for dinner gagging for the dessert.

  • I go for dinner like gagging

  • for the cheese board or the starter.

  • Ooh, I love like a rhubarb tarty thing.

  • I love like something sweet and sour

  • and crispy with a bit of ice cream on the side,

  • but I can kind of go without dessert.

  • Which is a shame, 'cause I love ice cream,

  • but I'm more about the cheese.

  • To start my evening, I would have a vodka martini.

  • It would be either Belvedere or Greg Goose,

  • and the glass has to be chilled in the freezer beforehand.

  • And then we're gonna shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky,

  • and pour that cold, sweet, nectar out and I'd have that.

  • Strange food habits.

  • I tend to put Marmite with a lot of things.

  • Like I feel like if you're snacking

  • you can just wipe a bit of Marmite on the plate

  • and anything you chop up with Marmite will taste good.

  • If I don't have anything to dip into peanut butter

  • I'll chop up a few carrots

  • and carrots and peanut butter is actually quite nice.

  • Basically anything just serves as a spoon for peanut butter.

  • So it's fine.

  • I don't want to eat snails.

  • I say, I love snails.

  • They're like my friends and I don't ever want to eat

  • or cook or prepare or have them in my fridge.

  • That's a no-go.

  • Other than that, I'll pretty much try anything.

  • Best place for food in the world.

  • Greek cuisine.

  • I love the family style essence of it.

  • I love how it's like one pot cooking,

  • the vegetables that they've grown in their garden,

  • and any animal that they use on the menu,

  • they've either grown

  • or they've either sorted out themselves.

  • I love the idea of a very simple salad with a very simple

  • like Stifado or Moussaka or something like that,

  • I really love that it's the grannys in the kitchen cooking

  • and you can taste all of the love,

  • and the heaven coming down into that meal.

  • Is everybody hungry now?

  • And that's everything I eat

  • in the day except these three bowls

  • of fruit that I forgot to mention about.

  • I eat these too.

  • Looks like I'm covering my tits.

  • Amazing.
