Dish

We bring all the flavours for this brilliant comedian.  Harriet Kemsley is an English stand-up comic, writer and actress. You’ll know her from appearances on shows including Live At The Apollo, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Hypothetical and Last One Laughing. She also hosts a podcast with Amy Gledhill, Single Ladies In Your Area, which navigates the world of dating in your 30s. Harriet joins Nick and Angela to chat about her upcoming show, Floozy, which tours the UK from October, right into the start of 2027. Tickets are on sale now.   There’s a reason we always ask guests for their likes and dislikes, and it’s showcased in this episode, because there are just one or two things Harriet can’t - or won’t - eat. From allergies to preferences and a hatred of big tomatoes, we learn everything about Harriet’s palate before Angela serves up the perfect plate: golden aubergine with purple sprouting broccoli, honey baked feta & preserved lemon dressing, a recipe by Diana Henry. For Harriet, the feta is substituted with a vegan cheese and the pistachios are kept out of the kitchen. There’s no shortage of great drinks, too, with a Crodino to start, followed by a glass of Eminence de Bijou and our first coke float for dessert, made with Booja-Booja vegan choc salted caramel ice cream. It’s a total feast of an episode with the hilarious Harriet that includes tales of pet snails and the stress of having an allergic reaction on your honeymoon. Plus, we find out a sure-fire way to improve the lives of single ladies everywhere.   You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the golden aubergine with purple sprouting broccoli, was created for Waitrose by Diana Henry.  A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Bow down to the King of Crimping!   On this episode of Dish, we have a wonderful time in the company of Irish singer-songwriter, Niall Horan. Niall rose to prominence as a member of One Direction and, following the band’s hiatus, has been releasing music and touring as a solo artist. His latest single, Dinner Party, is out now, with an album of the same name, due out on 5 June. Following the completion of his pre-show ‘survey’, we were able to make Niall’s Dish dreams come true by not only serving him a hearty pie, but getting him to make his own version to take home for a second helping. Things begin with a strong Pomegranate Negroni that seems to hit the spot. We get to hear about Niall’s first time out on a stage, his aversion to a range of vegetables and the presence of fruit in a savoury meal. We then hit the main course, a pie which uses Martha Collison’s beef bourguignon for the filling, served with a cauli-cheddar mash. It was the full pie experience, with a shortcrust pastry base and top, all served with a glass of No.1 Côtes du Rhône Villages.  Thank you to Niall for naming his record Dinner Party, which made for a great conversation about the music, but was also the perfect excuse for some end-of-show icebreakers... when the ice was already well and truly broken. As you may have guessed, this episode was recorded ahead of St Patrick’s Day.   You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the beef bourguignon was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison.  A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Zero chance of MPTF in this episode. We’re joined by Maisie Adam, comedian and podcaster, for an Easter feast and chat about her upcoming tour. Maisie, who can be currently seen in the second series of Last One Laughing, tours the country from September with her show, Whatsherface. Maisie explains to Nick and Angela about how the tour came to get its fantastic name and why touring is the best bit of the job. We’re just keeping our fingers crossed that she won’t be living with her parents by the time it comes around.  With some experience in the food industry, it’s no wonder Maisie’s likes and dislikes cover so much varied ground, from smoky mezcal to cheese on toast, and the challenges of noodles and peanuts. Equally strong are her opinions on food to plate ratios, the best thing to eat at the football, and is this our first guest to actually enjoy their school dinners?  Inspiration for your Easter weekend comes in the form of an Aperol spritz and a generous serving of Angela’s herb & spice roast leg of lamb with fresh greens and new potatoes. This is paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a Grant Burge Barossa Ink Shiraz, but we also treat Maisie to her favourite wine: a glass of Picpoul de Pinet. Just don’t ask her to check it.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Our first serving of soup on Dish. Sara Pascoe is a comedian, actor, presenter and writer who loves soup with her entire being. Time, then, for Angela to dust off the ladle and serve Sara the best minestrone, using a recipe from Martha Collison. But will it win round Nick, who cannot shake the association of soups and smelly office kitchens? We’re joined by Sara to discuss her new show, Zero Stars, coming to TLC from mid-April. In Zero Stars, Sara and her pal Roisin Conaty travel around the world to visit places and activities with bad reviews and terrible ratings. You can also see Sara on Mock The Week, which, after a three year absence, has returned to TV on TLC.  At the table, we hear about Sara’s love of performing, stand-up and... Take That, a band who, like soup, are essential parts of the Pascoe lifestyle. Just don’t make her choose between them.  The wine pairing for the minestrone is Waitrose’s Blueprint Gavi but, with a stand-up gig later in the day, Sara is sticking to coffee.. Angela adapts the minestrone recipe to make it vegan, using vegetable stock and vegan cheddar cheese.  Soup-erb!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the minestrone soup was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison.  A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

And saves room for a crumble! Louis Theroux is a BAFTA-winning documentarian, journalist, broadcaster and author, and not someone to let a pre-show lunch get in the way of a Dish feast. Over paloma cocktails, Nick and Angela enjoy an hour in the company of the legendary interviewer, who started making documentaries for the BBC in 1998.  He joins us to talk about his new Netflix film, Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere, where he journeys into the controversial world of websites, shows and influencers promoting ultra-masculinity and misogyny. Despite arriving on a full stomach, there was no spoiling Louis’ meal. Angela served five spice & lemongrass short ribs, paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a glass of Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz. There’s dessert, too, in the shape of a rhubarb & pear crumble, a Chetna Makan recipe, which makes the most of seasonal ingredients.  Any pre-show nerves about interviewing Louis were quickly dispelled with one sip of paloma. We get to hear all about Louis’ own cooking and baking skills, how he deals with fans who show their love in extraordinary ways, and the challenges of taking your children to a Michelin star restaurant. Plus, find out which of our Fast Food Quiz questions gets the much-coveted Louis Theroux seal of approval.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the rhubarb & pear crumble was created for Waitrose by Chetna Makan A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Can we take a moment for the Yorkshire puddings, too! We welcome Jennifer Garner to Dish for our Mother’s Day special, and the award-winning actor, known for her roles in Alias and the cult rom-com 13 Going on 30, is the perfect guest for such an occasion. Jennifer is a mum to three children and has a wonderful relationship with her mother, Pat, whose cooking helped shape Jennifer’s huge love of food. Jennifer has been pulling together meals on her Pretend Cooking Show (seen on Instagram) for years, with Pat making some great cameos along the way. No surprise, then, that she is very passionate about all the fine eats in life, like pizza, bread, roast chicken and big American salads. She sits down with us to chat about Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, a thriller, which can be seen now on Apple TV. The show is based on the hugely popular books of US author Laura Dave, and sees Jennifer in the lead role of Hannah, unravelling the mysterious disappearance of her husband.  Angela pulls out all the stops for our Mother’s Day roast with an incredible meal of roast beef & hasselback potatoes with chimichurri alongside perfect Yorkshire puddings, which seem to catch Jennifer by surprise. The meal is paired by our Waitrose wine experts with a bottle of Dona Paula El Alto Single Vineyard Malbec.  So, for anyone wondering how to treat your mum this year, look no further. And please do share the results!

We welcome a man with clear rules on food! Chris McCausland is a comedian, author, and Strictly Come Dancing champion. Within minutes of sitting down with Nick and Angela, he’s critiquing the Dish chair and explaining the mathematical shape of a Pringle, setting the tone for a brilliantly entertaining episode.  Chris is one of the busiest people on the circuit, with his tour Yonks spanning years, multiple legs, and even multiple shows in a day. Alongside that, his memoir Keep Laughing tells the story of his life, from growing up in Liverpool and losing his sight, through to becoming one of the UK’s most loved stand-ups. He tells us how the book came together without a plan, why writing about his early life proved more interesting than his comedy career, and how Strictly opened him up emotionally in ways he never expected.  Chris is greeted with a cold Fentimans ginger beer and salt and vinegar Pringles – his favourite! Next up, Angela served a piping hot cottage pie using a recipe by Martha Collison, with a side of Savoy cabbage. The British classic was paired with a No.1 Viña Lorea Reserva Rioja to complement the rich, savoury meat and creamy potatoes. There is plenty of food chat along the way, from Chris’s deep love of Italian dishes like bolognese and pizza (a life-changing discovery at university), to his dedication to sausages on tour, balanced by what he calls “sausage dark days”. We also get into the gamble of hotel eggs, his theory about spice levels, and how mayo has taken over the sandwich market.  As for the cottage pie? A straight 10 from everyone!    You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the cottage pie was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison.

Angela’s hearty dish makes quite the impression! Tom Davis is an actor, comedian, podcaster, writer and proud south Londoner. Fresh from delivering the goody bag for Romesh Ranganathan, he settles in with us for a proper catch-up over a delicious pie.  Tom’s latest tour, Spudgun, sees him return to the comedy circuit after a period away from the stage. You’ll have seen and heard from him plenty in that time, though, with acting credits including Wonka and A Thousand Blows plus TV appearances on shows including A League Of Their Own and, of course, his weekly podcast with Romesh, Wolf & Owl.  Tom famously started out in comedy when he was working on building sites, but less is known about his time in the restaurant industry. He chats to us about his work in the kitchen, including a spell at The Connaught, which sadly didn’t overlap with Angela’s time there. The chat begins over sliced bread and a glass of Botivo with elderflower cordial and soda, before we hit the pie. Angela serves a steak pie, using a recipe by Diana Henry, with a gluten free version for Nick, all accompanied by a side of Savoy cabbage. The Waitrose wine experts have paired this meal with a glass of Norton Winemaker's Reserve Malbec.  Tom knows his food and possesses some excellent eating credentials, none more so than his completion of The Big Five eating challenge, as well as his unwavering passion for bread and potatoes. We also hear the loveliest story about Olivia Colman, which is always an excellent way to spend your time. Now, pass the Croydon croutons!

The wait for a man at the top of our wish-list is finally over. Romesh Ranganathan has been on the Dish radar for a long time. Last year, Nick and Angela visited him on his Radio 2 show and extended the invite to join us for dinner. This year, we managed to sync diaries and make it a Valentine’s date! Romesh is a BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter. He is currently starring alongside Sheridan Smith in the West End Play, Woman In Mind, and took a seat with us to chat about his upcoming stand-up tour, Romesh Ranganathan Will Change Your Life. It’s a show which he is promoting well in advance, with dates starting in January next year. Sounds organised? It has to be, with Romesh also hosting two podcasts, including Wolf & Owl with Tom Davis alongside TV shows such as The Weakest Link and A League Of Their Own. Officially booked and busy.  Over non-alcoholic fiery lime margaritas, we quickly got to understand the intricacies of Romesh’s food likes and dislikes, including his late night chilli oil temptations and how his love of doughnuts made for a business venture. And, seeing as we are celebrating Valentine’s Day, we pulled out The Oven Glove of Romesh Love, filled with Ranganathan appreciation to combat his talent for self-deprecation.  The decision for today was left in Angela’s hands, as Romesh opted for ‘chef’s choice’. Chef wisely decided on a delicious cauliflower and spinach curry with all the sides. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a No.1 Gruner Veltliner, described as an exceptionally food friendly dry, crisp white wine.  Stick around for the End of Show Question, too, because we found a great courier for the goody bag delivery. He’s on next week!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

The Golden Globe winners join us for a tasty Dish dinner.  We return back from a break with a full table hosting two incredible actors, Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty. Just days after their Golden Globes success (where they both won awards for their roles in Adolescence), Stephen and Erin join us to chat about Season 2 of A Thousand Blows, now streaming on Disney +. The series sees them reprise their roles as bare-knuckle boxer Sugar Goodson and notorious criminal Mary Carr in the historical drama set in the East End.  But before any chat, Stephen needs to be fed. He is starving! Angela delivers with a dal gosht, a north Indian curry from Mallika Basu, where lamb falls off the bone into a sauce packed with spiced lentils. The Waitrose wine experts have paired the meal with a bottle of cave de Turckheim Gewurztraminer, but our quartet are focusing on spicy rum sours, made with non-alcoholic rum. To finish, Angela makes a last-minute decision to pull together a millefeuille, under Stephen’s watchful gaze.  It’s a brilliant episode to launch our ‘Dish Eternal Infinity’ season, with chat about the perfect pan of Scouse, the merits of prawn cocktail crisps (Erin, we’re with you on that one), and there’s a Dish debut for a Lazy Susan.  As for Stephen’s hunger? Most definitely dealt with!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for dal gosht was created for Waitrose by Mallika Basu  A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Comfort food and a bottomless snack bag for our season finale. Helena Bonham Carter is an award-winning English actress known for her incredible performances across films including the Harry Potter movies, Howards End, Planet of the Apes, Sweeney Todd, The King’s Speech and TV series such as Toast and The Crown. There are certainly too many credits to mention for a star who made her debut in 1985 in A Room with a View.  She’s with us to talk about her latest role as Lady Caterham in Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, which starts streaming on Netflix from 15 January. This is her first time in a Queen of Crime adaptation, with co-stars including Mia McKenna-Bruce and former Dish guest, Martin Freeman.  Helena comes equipped with her sizeable snack bag, curated especially for her life on-set, but there’s still room for Dish’s first cheese toasties, featuring five different cheeses. The cheese toasties with sticky shallots are paired with the Loved & Found Feteasca Alba Brut, which sadly is no longer available to buy. The Waitrose wine experts have since lined up the perfect replacement; a glass of Valdo Elevantum Prosecco. For this episode, Nick, Angela and Helena also enjoy a Mother Root and tonic, alongside the many, many other beverages that make it on to the table.  From the perilous times on the set of Seven Dials to helping Helena overcome her rice intimidation, we finish up season 8 of Dish with a hearty serving of good company. There’s a short break now before we return in February for more. Til next time!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Bangers and mash in action for our first poet. Tim Key, an English poet, comedian, actor and screenwriter, joins Nick and Angela to fire up Dish in 2026. Last year was a huge one for Tim, made notable by the release of The Ballad Of Wallis Island, a film he stars in alongside best friend Tom Basden. The pair wrote the screenplay together, basing it on a short film they had made nearly 20 years earlier. It has amassed critical and popular acclaim, winning three British Independent Film Awards.  Alongside The Ballad... Tim released a book of poems, L.A. Baby!, and launched his latest stand-up show Loganberry, which returns for a new tour across the UK from February. He’s a long-time collaborator with former Dish guest Steve Coogan, appearing with Coogan in Saxondale and a number of Alan Partridge projects.  Tim loves the pub, loves fish and chips, and believes he has worked out how to get the most out of Dish through his list of likes and dislikes. With a Five Points beer in hand, he is served sticky sausage & apple braise with a mash that, as always, becomes quite the talking point. Waitrose’s wine experts have paired the meal with a Château Maris Organic Les Planels. With poetry, laughter and stories about pub characters and eating in the bath, our first episode of the year is a bumper one to get us all going. And, in case you are wondering, Helena Bonham Carter is up next week for our final episode of Season 8.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

We finish one year and start the next with an ode to good food.  Emilia Fox is an English actress and presenter. She is best known for playing Dr Nikki Alexander in the popular long-running TV series Silent Witness, a role she has been playing since 2004, when Nick was still at university and Angela was on TV with Gordon Ramsay in Hell’s Kitchen. Emilia is with us to chat about the upcoming series of the show (its 29th!!) which lands on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in early 2026. But before that, we have (just enough) time to go through Emilia’s likes and dislikes, which have been made into a novella with a limited print run... of three. Emilia is passionate about seasonal and Italian food, and could eat roast chicken every day, so immediately enters into Angela’s good books.  We begin the show by serving a perfectly chilled vodka martini with a twist. This is followed by a butternut & toasted pumpkin seed risotto, paired with a glass of Ricossa Barbera Appassimento Piemonte DOC. There’s no need for rice fear as Angela guides Emilia and Nick through her risotto method and top tips.  This is a heart-warming dish, recipe and guest with which to start 2026. We get Emilia’s love of great food, her stories of being a (very sackable) waitress and how she deals with dead bodies on set. Plus, a few thoughts for potential New Year’s resolutions. Bellissimo!   You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas.  For this year’s festive special, Nick and Angela are joined around the tree by Keira Knightley for a turkey feast and plenty of bubbles.  Keira Knightley is an English actress who lives in North London with her two daughters and husband, James Righton. She is known for an array of brilliant roles in films such as Pride & Prejudice, The Imitation Game, Atonement and the TV series Black Doves. And, at this time of year, it would be remiss not to mention her role in the Christmas staple Love Actually, a film she’s watched just once. She joins us following her latest lead role... opposite Joe Wilkinson in the Waitrose Christmas advert. We’ve heard his side of the story, but how does Keira reflect on the day they filmed ‘the big kiss’?  Angela delivers dish after dish in this episode, with a fennel & citrus roast turkey as the table’s centrepiece. It’s served with her own (and famous) turkey gravy, roast potatoes with rosemary salt, stir fried sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta and a roast parsnip & grape salad with hazelnuts, chicory and parmesan dressing, which might just steal the show. Glasses are filled with No.1 Brut Special Reserve Vintage Champagne on arrival and the meal is paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a glass of De Loach OFS California Chardonnay. Enjoy! And let us know if you try and recreate any of the dishes at home.  Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Nick, Angela and all the Dish team!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for roast parsnip & grape salad was created for Waitrose by Elly Curshen.

Croissants as a starter? No issue whatsoever.  Jordan Stephens is a musician, actor, presenter, podcaster and writer, who arrives at Dish off the back of an incredible year, full of achievements and firsts. He chats to Angela and Nick about the paperback release of his thought-provoking memoir, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs, a personal story of self-acceptance. Alongside events and talks to promote the book, Jordan has had a busy 12 months, making his theatre debut in Entertaining Mr Sloane, joining the hit podcast Miss Me? as its new host and presenting his first documentary for Channel 4.  He also returned to where it all started with Rizzle Kicks, who released their first album in 12 years alongside a UK tour and a performance at Glastonbury.  Angela serves up a warming dish of saffron & cardamom chicken with cranberry salsa, paired with a glass of Domaine Du Vieux Vauvert Vouvray. That’s preceded by a cup of Earl Grey tea and a croissant, which immediately showcases Jordan’s passion for food and ranking systems. Jordan’s girlfriend is friend-of-the-show Jade Thirlwall, so we get an even deeper understanding of her love of roasts and their plans for Christmas. We also hear how food brought Jordan one-step closer to his dream of making music, and there’s a return to our discussion on pet names.

A true VI-Hundy P joins us around our own round table.  Joe Marler is a former rugby union player, podcast presenter, TV personality and Traitors expert in big dog theory. He joins Nick and Angela around the Dish table to talk about his new podcast, Joe Marler Will See You Now, where he puts guests to the test using his unique people-reading skills.  Recorded only hours before the finale of the Traitors, we have a brilliant time with Joe in our Christmas studio. Only snag being that he isn’t a big fan of Christmas... but can he be convinced by Nick’s infectious love for all occasions? Joe’s love of food is unwavering, with a passion for bold flavours, low-and-slow dishes... and chocolate. He is also a big fan of a Dark ‘N Stormy cocktail, and that’s how we kick things off.  Angela answers his low-and-slow call by serving jalapeño honey pulled pork with lime slaw, with Waitrose wine experts picking a glass of Laurent Miquel Nocturnes Viognier IGP Pays d'Oc to pair alongside it.  We discuss Joe’s cooking skills, and how his fondness for cake got him into trouble as a sous chef. We find out how wanting to act led him to a career in rugby, and learn that if you want to keep Joe on your good side... don’t serve him cockles.  In the opening of the episode, Nick and Angela try out a glass of mulled rosé and explore Angela’s new, very tasty, biscuit range.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for jalapeño honey pulled pork with lime slaw was created for Waitrose by Gurdeep Loyal.

Our first episode back around the Christmas tree.  Millie Bobby Brown is a British actor known for her role in the Netflix series Stranger Things. As the show begins its final season, we are joined by the star, who first appeared as her character Eleven back in 2016. The show is a certified cultural phenomenon, streamed by millions and making Millie a household name across the world. She currently lives on a farm in Georgia with her husband Jake Bongiovi (son of Jon Bon Jovi) and their many, many animals.  We’ve never had a guest want to sit so quickly at the Dish table. Millie is a huge fan of the show, reflected in her carefully considered and curated list of likes. Angela is drawn to serving penne alla vodka, a dish which ties in with Millie’s first date with Jake, all preceded by a Shirley Temple and a bowl of raw carrots. The pasta is paired with a glass of Castello Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva, made from Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.  We chat through a number of divisive food topics with Millie, including olives, quinoa, birthday cake and food photography, alongside reliving her incredible first dance at her wedding. There’s time to reflect on the beginnings and endings of Stranger Things, squeeze in a seasonal quiz all about festive movies and explore the thought process behind naming animals.  Christmas is go!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Bob has sold over 2 million books (and counting), crowning another significant chapter in his legendary career.  Bob first appeared on our screens in the early 90s in Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out. His working relationship with Vic has continued for decades and the pair are regarded among the funniest acts in British comedy. Bob is also known for his part in another double act, with Paul Whitehouse in Gone Fishing, a programme which documents their time together on the shores of rivers, streams, seas and lakes as part of Bob’s recovery from open heart surgery.  Upon entering the Dish kitchen, Bob quickly spots the pork pie starter and crisp bowl, which is followed by Angela fulfilling his nostalgic request and serving kedgeree-style monkfish rice alongside a fresh and cold IPA. Waitrose’s wine experts pair this meal with a glass of Paul Mas Réserve Languedoc Blanc. From stories about accidental house fires to avoiding dinner parties and the perfect pasta name for a cat, we learn an incredible amount in Bob’s company. We also find time to put his love of eggs to the test in an action packed end of show finale. And remember: eat pie as often as you can!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Highlights from our biggest live show yet! We’re thrilled to share our first ever live episode, recorded in September 2025 at The Royal Opera House in front of 2200 Dish fans. Our guest, Jack Whitehall, is an English comedian, presenter, actor and writer - and no stranger to stages of such grandeur.  Jack joined us to help settle Nick and Angela’s nerves and provide just a little bit of chaos in our on-stage kitchen. The night is one huge celebration of Dish, complete with special guests, a house band (thank you Sous Chefs), a trap door and more dry ice than we ever thought possible.  The show starts with a glass of Veuve Clicquot to celebrate a landmark moment before Nick mixes up an old fashioned for Jack. Angela serves an aubergine parmigiana, a Dish classic that proved a big hit for Shania Twain last year, alongside a glass of Prunotto Barolo, paired by the Waitrose wine experts.  Jack can be seen in the new Prime Video show Malice, where he plays a manipulative male nanny alongside David Duchovny and Carice van Houten. The role involved some cheffing skills, which come much more naturally to Jack than his father Michael, who is in the crowd for this show. From food likes and dislikes to the Fast Food Quiz under a spotlight, and a goody bag reveal that comes out of nowhere, this is Dish - but not like you’ve seen it before.  The show took place on the same night as the launch party of Angela’s new restaurant, Cicoria, situated on the top floor of the Opera House.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Has Angela met her match in the ultimate bolognese battle? Joe Wilkinson is an English comedian, actor, podcaster, screenwriter and star of the new Waitrose Christmas advert. Joe first came to prominence in the BBC Three show Him & Her before further acting roles in Derek, Miranda and After Life. He has also brought his impeccable comedy timing to shows including Russell Howard’s Good News, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Last One Laughing and Taskmaster as well as proving ever-faithful on this year’s Celebrity Traitors. He also hosts an almost-daily podcast called Chatabix with his long-term writing partner, David Earl. Joe’s favourite food is his own bolognese, which leads to a forensic breakdown of his process and the chance for Angela to impress with the best bolognese. Does it cut it with Joe? What about Marmite? How liberal should you be with the Italian mixed herbs? All these questions are answered alongside a glass of Zeno Alcohol-Liberated Red for Joe and a wine pairing of Villa Antinori  for Nick and Angela. We start the show with a Fever-Tree Non-Alcoholic Italian Spritz.  We loved Joe’s list of food likes and dislikes, and need to thank his wife Petra for supplying all the extra details, including his fondness for slow-roasted meat and dedication to planning the perfect takeaway. We also get to hear all about his turn as a leading man in the Waitrose Christmas ad opposite Keira Knightley, including how he diffused any tension on the day of their kiss…  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

You will know Brian from his TV work on shows including Horizon, The Planets and Solar System alongside his BBC Radio 4 programme, The Infinite Monkey Cage.  Brian, who was born in Oldham, joins us to blow Nick and Angela’s minds and chat about his new stage show, Emergence. Emergence, which explores the universe and cosmic evolution, is a HUGE production involving a giant display screen able to bring out-of-this-world shots to life. Tickets are available now for the world tour.  This episode is powered by curiosity, including Brian’s own desire to learn how to cook Dover sole. Step forward Angela Hartnett who takes Brian under her wing at the counter to help create our dish of cider-steamed Dover sole & clams. This is paired with a glass of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Domaine Gérard Thomas, celebrating Brian’s love of wine and, in particular, a white Burgundy.  Our biggest questions get answered across this chat. From figuring out how taste works to the challenges of life on Mars... and what is it about porridge that Brian Cox just can’t get on board with.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

An episode packed with strong food opinions and another one-pot-wonder chicken dish.  Jamali Maddix is a British comedian, writer and presenter known for his honest and intelligent humour. Alongside regular appearances on shows including Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI and 8 Out of 10 Cats, he’s also fronted a number of documentaries, including last year’s Follow The Leader for U&Dave. He’s with us to talk about the new Comedy Central show, Jimmy Carr’s Am I The A**hole,  where Jamali, Jimmy and GK Barry are in charge of serving judgements on the divisive behaviour of members of the public.  Angela serves spiced whole chicken with herby rice, which is an instant hit with Jamali, tasting so good that it proves a distraction from Nick’s questions. The drinks pairing of Felsner Moosburgerin Grüner Veltliner 2024 Kremstal is a test for Jamali’s palate, but he gives it a go, despite not being a huge wine lover. Room is made for dessert, with a selection of Ottolenghi’s new ice creams, including, Madagascan Vanilla & Miso Caramel.  Food chat at Dish has never been so passionate, with nothing safe from Jamali’s razor sharp takes. Air fryers, wine and the concept of sharing desserts are among the victims in this week’s episode. We also get to learn all about alligator cheesecake and finally find out the true value of the Dish table. Any takers?  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Angela’s first serving of aligot goes down very well with Nick and our brilliant guest. Vicky McClure is a BAFTA-winning actor known for her incredible roles in Line of Duty as Kate Fleming and This is England as Lol Jenkins. She joins Nick and Ange to talk about the third series of Trigger Point, the thriller in which Vicky plays Lana, a bomb disposal expert (known as an expo), struggling with trauma and PTSD. You can watch the show from 26 October on ITV and ITVX.  Vicky was born in Nottingham and lives there today with her husband Jonny, who is also an actor and filmmaker. The couple first met over a sausage cob, and it’s one of many areas of food and drink that Vicky feels strongly about, including tea and how to act with it correctly.  We begin the episode with Nick mixing up the first ever bloody Mary on the show ahead of a main course of roast topside of beef with peppercorn gravy & aligot. Aligot, a recipe made of potato and cheese, also makes its Dish debut... but definitely not its last, based on this reaction. It’s paired with a glass of Catena Malbec. Vicky brings pure joy to our table as well as her passion for her hometown and nighttime. We hear about working with Madonna and how she prepares for her demanding roles. And her second career path plan? Well, it’s right up our street.     You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Our award winning duo meet a DJ and producer who knows a thing or two about acceptance speeches. Mark Ronson is a BRIT, Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar-winning British-American DJ, record producer, musician and songwriter. He has added ‘author’ to that list, too, with the release of his memoir, Night People, an account of becoming a DJ in ‘90s New York. The book is full of incredible stories and entertaining celebrity encounters, and you get a tasty sampler of them in our chat over roast chicken.  We start the episode with a dirty vodka martini and a side of Monster Munch before a hearty roast chicken with fennel, shallot & white bean stew, appealing to Mark’s love of Sunday roasts. This is paired with a glass of Vignerons Ardechois Viognier and served alongside tales of working with Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga and the joy Mark gets from being a dad.   Mark and Nick’s own friendship stretches back to the noughties, and nights out together with the likes of Adele and Amy Winehouse. Nostalgic memories are sparked across the table, including one involving a hungover Nick in New York and a party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio.  There’s also time to celebrate Nick and Angela’s gong for Best Hosts at this year’s British Podcast Awards. We couldn’t be prouder of them. Cheers!

We’re joined by a BAFTA winner for an easy-to-make, extra tasty dinner and a spoonful of dessert.  Suranne Jones’ acting credits are a must-watch list of shows including Doctor Foster, Vigil, Gentleman Jack and Coronation Street. Add to that list her new show, Frauds, a heist-driven thriller in which she stars alongside Jodie Whittaker.  On the menu for this episode is seared tuna with braised tomatoes & chickpeas, paired on this occasion with a Telmont Champagne Reserve Brut NV - a special accompaniment and a favourite of Suranne’s when she is drinking. This is followed by a perfectly seasonal autumn apple & blackberry crumble.  Suranne’s a bad influence in Frauds, but pure joy and excellent vibes around the Dish table, bringing a list of food likes and dislikes that matches, and maybe surpasses, the one brought by Benedict Cumberbatch. We get into the magic of Oldham, the power of Corrie and the appeal of Doctor Foster... and Suranne quickly comes clean that she’s a Dish superfan having listened to ALL episodes while on set for her new show. We salute you!

Nick and Angela welcome a performer whose surreal comedy has made him one of Britain’s most distinctive voices. Mawaan Rizwan’s career has been anything but ordinary, taking him from clown school to the Edinburgh Fringe. He created and stars in the surreal BBC comedy Juice, which earned him a BAFTA, and now he joins Nick and Angela to talk about the show’s new series. Mawaan likes a vermouth cocktail (when he’s feeling fancy), so Nick pours a Sharp Dresser to start.  Mawaan is also a big fan of ramen, so Angela serves a pork and mushroom tantanmen, topped with jammy eggs and spring onions. The dish is paired with a glass of The Dry Dam Riesling, whose acidity and creamy notes balance the richness of the broth. The conversation reflects Mawaan’s playful spirit, touching on his passion for Beef Wellington, the time he sculpted Paul Hollywood’s cheekbones in brandy snap, and even the unlikely showbiz “beef” he’s nursing with Ellie Goulding. He also lets Angela in on his burrata hack for levelling up instant noodles.

Nick and Angela welcome a new member to the ‘I Cycled to Dish’ club, as Sir Grayson Perry pedals his way to the Dish table. Grayson is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists. A potter, writer, broadcaster and social commentator, he rose to fame in 2003 when he won the Turner Prize, becoming the first ceramicist to receive the honour. He joins Nick and Angela to talk about his new tour, Are You Good?, which asks whether any of us are truly behaving ourselves.  We keep it simple at the start, with an ice-cold Daura Damm gluten-free beer. Grayson loves fresh, crunchy salads, and Angela obliges by serving a smashed cucumber and steak noodle salad. The umami flavours are complemented with a glass of Albert Road Pinot Noir. Between bites, the chat covers Marmite confessions, banana rituals, nostalgia for greasy spoons and Nick’s delight at discovering someone who likes a pickled onion as much as he does. We even get to hear about the joys of overtaking men in Lycra while wearing a frock.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick and Angela welcome the legendary chat show host who has been on the Dish dream guest list since the very beginning.  It only took eight seasons but we finally have Graham Norton at the Dish Table. The Irish comedian, broadcaster, writer and king of Friday night TV stops by to chat about his new podcast, Wanging On, which he co-hosts with Maria McErlane. The perfectly titled show sees Graham and Maria offer advice to help tackle a wide range of problems; from neighbourly disputes to unruly pets.  Although Graham lives in a vegan household, he is rather partial to a scotch egg which Angela serves as the episode’s starter alongside a dirty vodka martini made wet at Graham’s request. For the main course, Angela delivers lemon butter trout with roast potatoes & fennel. The trout is paired with a glass of Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc.  Great food is matched by great chat, with Graham telling us about his full throttle food awakening on a French exchange trip and sharing his expert advice on a couple of Dish dilemmas from our audience. We get to learn about the magic of The Graham Norton Show sofa and why Brad Pitt is yet to take a seat on it. An episode we didn’t want to end featuring a guest we can’t wait to have back.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re back for a new season and are celebrating with two huge stars, who take our Fast Food Quiz VERY seriously. The long wait is over. Dish returns for Season 8 and Nick and Angela welcome two British actors who have conquered Hollywood. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman join us to chat about their new film, The Roses (a reimagination of 1989’s War of The Roses) where they play a deeply dysfunctional married couple.  We start with gin and tonics and a modified Hugo Spritz for Olivia, before serving a glass of Terre di Vita Organic Zibibbo Sicilia, paired with our main course of roast spatchcock chicken with coriander, red chilli and charred limes. Angela serves the main with french fries and a side of sprouting broccoli, which she sautéed with soy sauce, sesame oil and salt.  Olivia and Benedict take their seats for a welcome meal along with a drink... or three. We loved spending time in their company, hearing about how they raise each other’s acting game and Olivia’s on-set superpower! We also get THE most comprehensive list of likes and dislikes from Benedict and find out about his unlikely stint as a sous chef.
