Food writer Ella Mills on her favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
How To Fail With Elizabeth Day. I really loved The Dropout as well, an investigation into Elizabeth Holmes, who was touted to be the world’s youngest female billionaire when she created a healthcare tech company.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS…
A rose candle from Self Care Co, which I’m obsessed with. They’re all natural, vegan and hand poured, and the brand’s founder, Nicole, is incredible.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
I really hate anything on my lips! Using a lip balm is about as far as I go.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS…
Content Beauty & Wellbeing off Marylebone High Street in London. It’s a treasure trove for natural brands and cool upcoming ones.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS…
Chocolate dipped in peanut butter. To me, that is heaven.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS…
My home! I’m a homebody when it comes to coffee. It’s such a ritual for us to have coffee in bed.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD…
Peanut butter and strawberry jam – you can’t beat it – or hummus, if I’m going savoury.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS…
Allbirds trainers. I’m a real trainers girl – they’re just so comfy.
THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS…
Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith. It’s a book about chakras. I’ve been trying to get a bit deeper into the yoga philosophy and the origins of it.
THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… Friends.
My daughter Skye was born a few days before the 25th anniversary last year, so I rewatched every single episode, in order, on Netflix. It’s one of those things you can enjoy again and again.
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS…
The Parker Palm Springs, in the middle of the Californian desert.
THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS…
Any of Elton John’s.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS…
To Thailand last Christmas. We took three weeks off work and went there with our daughter, who was a few months old at the time. It was such a fun adventure, and it was really special to do it with her.
THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS…
Glasses. We have so many!
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL…
My sister.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Jolene
by Dolly Parton. Skye absolutely loves it. We have little dance parties at home in the morning, and nothing makes her laugh more.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS…
My mushroom and walnut ragù. It’s simple, but it’s the most popular thing I’ve cooked for friends.
THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS…
You get back what you put in.
