From his Cassina LC2 sofa to a treasured pestle of mortar from the River Cafe days, Theo shares wonderful stories about his family's life in Primrose Hill.


Writer, stylist and chef Anna Jones is a bit of a pioneer, leading the way for how we want to eat today; her new book One Pot, Pan, Planet is both very easy-to-use and environmentally conscious.

What does it mean to live a well-crafted life? The Well-crafted Life, a podcast from Homes & Gardens, explores this idea through conversations with creative minds. Hosted by Editorial Director Sarah Spiteri, each episode brings together three different voices from the worlds of design, art, gardening, and home. These aren't abstract discussions; they are personal revelations about the tangible and intangible choices that shape our daily environments. Listeners hear how a thoughtful color palette, a cherished garden corner, or a handmade object can transform routine into ritual. This podcast delves into the philosophy behind creating a personal sanctuary, examining both grand renovations and subtle, meaningful touches. It’s about the intention we bring to our spaces and how those spaces, in turn, nurture us. The dialogue is intimate and exploratory, focusing on the blend of aesthetics and emotion that defines a home. By listening to this podcast, you join a conversation about cultivating beauty and purpose in the everyday, understanding that a life of quality is assembled detail by detail. The show naturally celebrates the process of creation itself, offering inspiration for anyone looking to infuse more care and character into their surroundings.
