The Weekend With Jorja Smith

“I recently went to La Casa Azul to see Frida Kahlo’s work. I was honestly so mesmerised; I didn’t know too much about her, I just knew what she looked like. I was so inspired by how different all of her work was. If you’re in Mexico City, you have to try and go!”

“Up the Youth Club: Illuminating a Hidden History by Emma Warren has been on my coffee table for weeks now. Normally, my mornings can be quite hectic with work. For my ideal weekend, I’d turn off all notifications and distractions, curl up with this book and a coffee (I’m really into my coffee at the moment) and lose myself in it.

I’m also waiting for Queenie Is Working on It by Candice Carty-Williams to arrive. I know I’ll be glued to that book until the very end!”

“I’ve been loving One Pot: Three Ways by Rachel Ama. I was getting bored with everything I’d been cooking recently and needed some inspiration to switch things up. I’ve never cooked vegan meals before, so I found some of the ingredients she used very interesting – white miso paste, yum! I’d never used that before. Her ‘Cheez’ Sauce for her Mac and Cheese recipe is so, so, so, so good. And her crispy fried miso jerk aubergine, omg! I’d make extra so I had leftovers all weekend.”

“One thing on my list is to finish The Drama, which I started on a flight recently. I’d start with that and then move on to Possession. I really want to watch it. That’s definitely one for after dark, I’m told.”
