A dessert and a podcast

For the release of Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi challenged Chef El Spinler to create a dessert following two specific rules: it had to use egg yolks, and the dough had to be thoroughly kneaded. 

Rising to the occasion, the chef devised a cocoa ravioli filled with a caramel-marinated egg yolk — a technique where pulverized caramel gently cures the yolk over 72 hours, giving it just enough structure to hold inside the ultra-thin pasta shell without fully cooking. The dish was completed with praline paste, lemon gel, and a Gianduja chocolate sauce. Prepared over several days at the chef's kitchen and then brought to the actors in Paris.

The encounter also sparked a rich conversation about food as storytelling in the film itself, with Jacob Elordi reflecting on how the contrast between the raw, visceral meals at Wuthering Heights and the lavish, decorative spread at Thrush Cross Grange was used to signal class, power, and containment — a reminder that, as Margot put it, food is something we can all relate to.

And now the podcast:

The Art of Costume

Wuthering Heights

February 2026

Costume nerds... It is time. This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, we brave the windswept Yorkshire moors for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

First, Spencer and Elizabeth call to order the gathering of costume nerds to discuss the debate regarding period films and costume accuracy. Then our hosts dive headfirst into this passionate, chaotic, and beautifully toxic love story, unpacking Heathcliff and Catherine’s destructive devotion, the moody atmosphere, and, of course, the stunning costumes designed by Jacqueline Durran.

It’s stormy, it’s dramatic, it’s a little unhinged—and we absolutely have thoughts.
