Educating Stephen Fry, teaching Salman Rushdie the limbo, asking Prince William if he wants tongues... It's all in a day's work for the fabulous Kathy Lette! 

The author of best-selling novels Foetal Attraction and Mad Cows tells us what inspires her, and why mothers never get writer's block. There's some chat about why Australians talk like they do, and the fate of Kylie's gold hotpants. Plus, Kathy gives us her top tips for raising teenagers, and tells us how she came to have a Savoy cocktail named after her.
 
Kathy's latest book, Courting Trouble, is out now. She's on Twitter - @KathyLette.

​With 40 recipe books to her name, Annabel Karmel is the Nigella of children's food. But does she give her own kids fish fingers? What's her view on eating organic? And does she ever go for a cheeky Nando's?

​We find out the answer to all these questions and more. There's some chat about how attitudes to kids' food have changed, and why allergies seem to be on the rise. Annabel tells us how to get children to eat vegetables, what she thinks about Jamie's sugar tax, and reveals the most popular item ordered from Ocado.
 
As always, we round off with Scummy Mummy Confessions - and Annabel has a great one to share.
