Ramy Youssef

Jessie Ware
About this episode

This week actor, comedian, writer, director and all round brilliant person Ramy Youssef joins us on Table Manners.

I’m on the food, serving up butter sage fried eggs with pickled chillis and homemade sourdough (courtesy of my yoga teacher Helen Russell-Clarke) along with lapsang souchong plums, yoghurt and homemade granola. 

We talk about his upbringing in New Jersey, eating his parents delicious Egyptian food, how to make the perfect Koshary, eating his way around Palestine while shooting his Emmy award-winning TV show ‘Ramy’ and the joy of eating with small cutlery and chopsticks.

A wonderful breakfast with a wonderful person. Ramy is served! X
