52 分钟Max is a champion of the low waste and sustainable lifestyle. He’s a chef, presenter and award-winning author and has been described as a bona fide millennial heartthrob. His recipe content and food shows have been seen by over 1 billion people. He talks to Margie about why the best sandwich are painful to eat and his choice of his last supper might surprise you! What would you pick? I know it's a very hard question to answer but it's also impossible not to think about your own choices. Max has been plant-based since 2011 and says his biggest ambition has always been making sure his recipes are accessible to everyone without being at all preachy about being vegan. Through his viral recipe videos and work with BBC Earth and beyond, Max has inspired hundreds of thousands of people across the world to rethink their approach to food consumption and made it his mission to breathe new life into leftovers that are typically destined for the bin. The son of a French chef father and a mother of Italian heritage, food was very important to them as a family when he was growing up. In the early days of his career, he supported himself by cooking everywhere from pizzerias to Michelin-starred restaurants and it was this ultimately that led him to challenge his own values. Max has got a new cookbook out now called You can Cook This which you can buy here.
