Michelle Obama has revealed that her palate is a little more straightforward than some may assume from a former first lady. Speaking on the first episode of Your Mama’s Kitchen, a podcast hosted by journalist Michele Norris and co-produced by the Obamas’ media company, Higher Ground, Michelle revealed she never really enjoyed eating breakfast. “I was kind of a picky eater,” she said. “I didn’t like any breakfast-anything. And my brother, who ate breakfast all the time, thought I was crazy.” Michelle continued: “We had big breakfasts because my brother, he was a growing athlete. So it was everything — cereal followed by scrambled or fried eggs followed by lots of toast and bacon and link sausage. So breakfast was big.” As a result, she explained that “everybody else in the whole household, on the whole planet, loved breakfast food except for [me] ... I despised breakfast.” Michelle revealed that she became “really stubborn” over her breakfast and decided to choose a different meal. “[I ate] peanut butter and jelly every morning until I went to college,” she said. “That was all I really liked. It was sort of a compromise that I made with my mother because it’s got peanuts, that’s protein, a little bit of oil. “Nothing’s wrong with bread if we’re having toast, why can’t I have it in a sandwich form and jelly? Everybody was having jelly on their toast.” She added that this would form her breakfast “every morning for most of [her] life”. However, nowadays, she is a fan of more wide-ranging breakfast foods. “I’m big into all of it now. Give me eggs benedict. Any eggs, any way,” she added. The admission comes after Michelle reflected on former US President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day and revealed why she was sobbing after it. During the first episode of Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast, she explained why Trump’s Inauguration Day in 2017 was “so emotional”, as she, Barack, and their daughters, Malia, now 24, and Sasha, now 21, were officially moving out of their house. “We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” she explained. “They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.” Read More Barack Obama’s message to people of Hawaii after deadly wildfires Obama’s love letters from 1982 resurface: ‘I make love to men daily, but in the imagination’ Billy Porter says he is ‘back on the market’ after filing for divorce Do it for the Gram: Speedy but spectacular goat’s cheese linguine How to pimp up your instant ramen (and save money) Money-saving chilli con carne that absolutely slaps with flavour

Grilled artichokes with hollandaise are one of my all-time favourite summer foods,” says Tim Hayward, author of Big Green Egg Feasts. “Grown up and sophisticated with an elegant hollandaise sauce, they are also romantic when shared and, for some reason, incredibly popular with small kids.” You can make the hollandaise on the Egg, if you have one – if you don’t, Hayward recommends making ahead and storing in a flask. Grilled artichokes with hollandaise Serves: 4-8 Ingredients: 4 large globe artichokes 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges 4 garlic cloves, left whole, but given a whack to slightly crush 1 large egg yolk Juice of 1 lemon 200g/generous ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted Olive oil, for brushing Salt and freshly ground black pepper Method: 1. Wrap the artichokes individually in a double layer of foil, each with two tablespoons of water, a lemon wedge, a garlic clove and a big pinch of salt. Using the indirect set-up, burp and open your preheated Egg, place the wrapped artichokes on the stainless steel grid and leave them to steam for about 45-60 minutes with the dome closed until tender. 2. Meanwhile, for the hollandaise, put the egg yolk and four teaspoons of lemon juice into a heatproof bowl with one teaspoon of water and whisk together for two to three minutes until thick. Very gradually, whisk in the melted butter (leaving the white milky solids behind) in a thin stream until thick and creamy. Season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice to taste. Keep the hollandaise sauce warm over a pan of boiling water off the heat, stirring occasionally. 3. Burp the Egg and remove the convEggtor. Unwrap and halve the artichokes, top to bottom/vertically, then paint the cut side with olive oil. Using the direct set-up, grid cut-side down on the bars in the Egg until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt to taste just before serving. Recipe from ‘Big Green Egg Feasts: Innovative Recipes To Cook For Friends And Family’ by Tim Hayward (Quadrille, £30).
