Honey & Co's Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer on why there should always be food left on the table
09.06.2026 | 51 Min.
This week, Samuel Goldsmith is joined by husband-and-wife duo Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, the founders of Honey & Co, to talk about food, hospitality, and the joy of feeding people.
From their childhood food memories, one shaped by English cooking, the other by the rich flavours of Jerusalem and the wider Middle East, to building one of London’s most beloved restaurant groups, Sarit and Itamar share the story behind Honey & Co and their latest cookbook, Honey & Co: The Daily Dish.
We chat about why “Middle Eastern food” is more of a sensibility than a cuisine, the dishes they could happily eat for the rest of their lives, and the cultural differences between British politeness and Middle Eastern generosity at the dinner table.
They reveal their biggest kitchen disaster involving worms, sand and pasta, debate the merits of tahini, confess their love for Doritos and McDonald’s milkshakes, and explain why good food always comes down to three things: love, attention and ingredients. Warm, funny and full of delicious tangents, this episode is a celebration of cooking, community and finding joy in everyday meals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

They discuss what Ramadan really means beyond fasting, how different cultures celebrate through food, and why experimenting in the kitchen matters more than authenticity.
