Debunking the myth that ballerinas only eat fruit, Yasmine Naghdi joins Claire on the podcast to make her favourite pasta dish – linguine alle vongole
Episode five in the 5 O’Clock Apron Podcast hears Claire cooking alongside the principal ballerina from The Royal Ballet, Yasmine Naghdi. Yasmine is everything (and more) that Claire could have expected of a ballerina: confident and poised, plus she is a wonderful cook.
Yasmine’s roots are Belgian and Persian, but she’s a born-and-bred South Londoner. She attended the Royal Ballet School from age 11 and has danced her way through the ranks to the very top of the institution. She is expecting her first child later this year and plans to return to performing next year.
Claire and Yasmine meet at Yasmine’s parents' house and immediately the pair start cleaning clams, picking herbs and chopping garlic. Yasmine is a meticulous and passionate cook, teaching Claire her way to make her favourite pasta dish, linguine vongole.
