Pad Thai with Clown Tyler West

In this episode of The 5 O’ Clock Apron Podcast Claire cooks with New York clown and physical performer, Tyler West. Tyler is currently on tour with the very fabulous Giffords Circus here in the U.K. Needing to be in one piece for his shows later that day, Tyler was less than keen to be standing too near sharp knives and a smoking hot wok. So, in this episode, Claire cooks and Tyler chats, and this works just brilliantly. Tyler was extremely keen on making Pad Thai for the recording as bowls of cereal in his circus wagon can get a little samey he joked, and Thai food is is absolute favourite! We learn about his life as a circus performer, being a little person in clowning, his upbringing in Arizona including an intriguing dish called Hippopotamus, and his love of the odd English custom of stopping for tea and cookies and crisps. He gives tips on using coconut oil to remove false eyelashes, and juggles with the eggs. If you get the opportunity to see Giffords Circus, it’s a strong recommend from us.you can find more about Tyler here: https://theoriginaltylerwest.com/and Giffords Circus here: https://giffordscircus.com/Follow Claire at 5 o'clock apron on Instagram to get the recipe. https://www.instagram.com/5oclockapron/ Hosted on Acast.
