Celebrity chef planning pop-up bakery at historic 16th century home, documents show
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is apparently seeking to turn a former stable block at his historic home into a pop-up takeaway bakery, news agency SWNS reported. The small pop-up would run in August only. The English chef has applied for planning permission to change the use of the former block to serve baked goods, sandwiches and coffee at his home on a month-long trial. "There isn't anything definite, just ideas at this stage," a representative told Fox News Digital. If approved, the bakery would operate on the grounds of Spains Hall in England, a Grade I-listed home built around 1570 in an area that has been used to host weddings. "The proposed temporary change of use offers the opportunity to trial a new small-scale commercial use within a rural location, which will not cause any detrimental heritage, traffic or amenity impacts," a statement from the chef's representatives to SWNS said. Grade I-listed buildings in the United Kingdom are structures of exceptional national, architectural or historical importance. They represent the highest level of protection under the planning system, according to Historic England's website. Oliver, who is listed as the applicant on plans submitted to Braintree District Council, has submitted several supporting documents via his representatives. He outlined the proposal to open the bakery throughout August, operating seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is estimated that six employees would be needed for the bakery and deliveries would be made three times a week. Said Oliver's representatives, "The existing kitchen within the building will be used for food preparation." They added, "Public access would be restricted to the main room open plan within the building plus the toilets, both of which are on the ground floor." The application stated that customers would use the existing parking in the back of the stable block, while an extra area would be available for an overflow if needed. Oliver's representatives said the proposals would have "no impact on the scale, amount, design, layout or access to the site." "No physical alterations are required to the building internally or externally in support of the proposals and there is no impact on any areas of soft landscaping or habitat." Since the Middle Ages, the house and estate in Finchingfield, Essex, have been in the ownership of just three families. It was sold to Oliver in 2019. The coach house and stable block originally date from the 18th century and were first listed in 1967, when they were used as stables. In recent years, it has been used to host weddings and other functions, SWNS reported. No public comments have been registered so far and a decision on the application will be made by the council later. For more Lifestyle articles, visit Oliver had previously sought permission for repair work to the property, including windows, doors and masonry. He has been credited with renovating it from a state of disrepair. The $6.8-million house serves as his family home, where he lives with his wife, Jools, and their five children. Jamie Oliver's Cookery School has also offered a cooking experience at Spains Hall, allowing guests to learn from his chefs and sample ingredients from his garden.

Podz uses Steph analogy to address Giannis-Bucks trade rumors
Podz uses Steph analogy to address Giannis-Bucks trade rumors originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area Wisconsin native Brandin Podziemski is on the Warriors, but he grew up watching Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Advertisement So as trade rumors swirl around the two-time NBA MVP, Podziemski understands the gravity of Antetokounmpo potentially leaving Milwaukee — especially since he plays alongside another one-team generational talent in Steph Curry. 'I mean, [it's] the same thing with any player like that, it's like Steph not playing for the Warriors,' Podziemski told Kay Adams on the 'Up & Adams' show Tuesday. 'All guys who cemented their legacy and what they're about in this league with one team, you never expected it to change. The same with Luka Dončić and Dallas [Mavericks], like the whole world is shocked because of the player he is, and you can see how they were building around him. But like I said, it's like any star in the league that stays with one team, you just expect them to be in one jersey and anywhere else just doesn't seem right at all.' The Bay Area likely would riot if Curry left the Warriors, but Dub Nation certainly would welcome Antetokounmpo to Golden State with open arms. However, while Antetokounmpo reportedly met with the Bucks to discuss his and the team's future, it remains unclear if he will request a trade out of Milwaukee even if the Warriors are an intriguing destination. Advertisement Golden State would have to give up plenty for that to happen, and it also views recent addition Jimmy Butler as a subtle superstar who will continue to push the team to new heights next season. For Podziemski, who has played against Antetokounmpo and the Bucks four times in his young NBA career, it's always a full-circle moment to go up against someone whose career arc he has observed from Day 1. In Podziemski's first game back in Milwaukee against the Bucks on Jan. 13, 2024, he shone with 23 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals. 'I saw Giannis get drafted,' Podziemski told Adams. 'I was at a lot of games his rookie year and throughout his development. And so to be on the same court as him, playing against him, competing, it's pretty cool, but it's also kind of a full-circle moment for me, just because I played at Illinois and we played in Marquette, which is in Milwaukee, and I didn't play any minutes that game, and I had a bunch of people that are watching me. 'So to go back there my rookie year and play well and play a lot in front of those same people, it was kind of refreshing for me.'

Brandin Podziemski shades Knicks over not making NBA Finals: ‘Would've been a sweep'
Was the Knicks' elimination in the Eastern Conference finals just delaying the inevitable? New York certainly had the star power coming out of the East as opposed to the Pacers, but Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski doesn't think the Knicks could have held up against the Thunder. 'I'm glad it was the Pacers, not the Knicks … if it was the Knicks, it would have been a sweep,' Podziemski told Kay Adams on the 'Up and Adams' on Tuesday. 'I don't think the Knicks had enough to compete with OKC both offensively and defensively. Advertisement 3 Brandin Podziemski spoke on 'Up and Adams' on Tuesday. Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams The Knicks, who knocked off the heavily favored Celtics in the second round, succumbed to the Pacers in six games in the Eastern Conference finals, New York's first time making it that far since 2000. While the Warriors didn't see the Thunder in the playoffs after they were bounced in the second round by the Timberwolves, Podziemski might know the formula to beating Oklahoma City, as the Warriors won two of the three matchups in the regular season. 'I think the Pacers, on any given night, they play with 10 guys and there's games where all 10 of them score in double figures,' Podziemski added. 'It can come from anywhere with Indiana, and I think that's the thing that's gonna be challenging for OKC.' Advertisement Aside from a seven-game series against the Nuggets, the Thunder have rolled through their competition this postseason. Even in Game 7 against Denver, Oklahoma City sent Nikola Jokic & Co. packing in resounding fashion with a 32-point win. The Thunder are led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and co-stars Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. Advertisement 3 The Thunder celebrate winning the Western Conference and reaching the NBA Finals. NBAE via Getty Images But Podziemski credits Oklahoma City's defense as the reason for why New York would have struggled in a finals matchup. With the Knicks' offense so heavily reliant on Jalen Brunson's isolation opportunities, Podziemski noted, 'that's what OKC is really good at stopping —you look at the Timberwolves, [the Thunder] know the majority of the points are from [Julius] Randle and [Anthony Edwards], so they're really good at taking that away and forcing others to beat you.' As for the Pacers, their role players have stepped up time and time again throughout the playoffs, even when their star Tyrese Haliburton falls flat.

Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Though he thinks Indiana will have more of a fighting chance than the Knicks would've, Podziemski concluded that 'OKC is the best team in the NBA for a reason and they won 68 games not by mistake.'
