Dish

A tasty take on a roast for all seasons.

Daisy Edgar-Jones is an English actor, known for her roles in TV shows like Cold Feet and the all-conquering Normal People, alongside performances in hit films such as Twisters, Where The Crawdads Sing and the upcoming adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.

It’s a stew-free zone in the Dish kitchen, with Daisy explaining why she’s just not keen, despite her Irish heritage. Peas are also shown the door by Daisy, who has a preference for Japanese and fresh flavours... and roast dinners. A tailor-made opportunity for Angela to cook a miso, lime & herb butter-roasted spatchcock chicken, a recipe by Paul Gamble. It’s served with a side salad of fresh mangetout, radish and lettuce.

And paired with the meal? Our first orange wine: a bottle of Côté Mas Vin Orange, selected especially for Daisy by Waitrose’s wine experts. What will Angela make of its debut?! It’s a great accompaniment to our chat covering first crushes, perfect picnics and working with all of the internet’s favourite boyfriends..

Daisy plays Elinor Dashwood in the upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, directed by Georgia Oakley and released on 25 September. She stars alongside Esmé Creed-Miles (Marianne Dashwood) and George Mackay, playing love interest Edward Ferrars. Daisy chats to Nick and Angela about how hand-written notes helped the pair focus on their roles, and how the period costumes frequently lead to funny moments in their downtime.

And, yes, we're doing another live show! On 1 November, we'll be at the Royal Opera House with tickets going on sale here from midday today (2 September).

The latest great Dame to join our party!

Dame Meera Syal is an award-winning actress, comedian and writer, who sat down with us on the scorching-hot day of the solar eclipse. It’s a busy time for Meera ahead of the release of her life story, Vigilauntie: A Memoir - Innit?, and the opening of her new play, The Children. So, imagine our surprise when she arrived with home-baked goods in hand! What a legend.

Meera is a firm believer in the power of food to get people talking and sharing stories, which is exactly what happens in our time with her around the Dish table. There are loving stories about her proud and supportive parents (including the secret to her mum’s saag paneer), and how Meera’s bakes bring new acting casts together. When discussing her rich and warm memoir (out on 3 September), we take a trip back to the groundbreaking work of Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars at No. 42, where she played a grandmother to the man who’d become her husband: Sanjeev Bhaskar.

It’s a feast of an episode, with a cooling mango & passion fruit frozen lassi to start, followed by a summery fish, fennel & saffron stew, a recipe by Eleanor Maidment. This is paired with a bottle of Altos de Torona Albariño by the Waitrose wine experts. We then have double dessert, including hug-worthy tahini, cherry and cardamom meringues and Meera’s own (and very yummy) lemon polenta cake. Don’t worry, we did get the recipe!

A top bit of Lillian for an acting legend.

We’re delighted to host Ray Winstone at Dish for a meal fit for acting royalty. Ray, born and raised in East London, has starred on screens since his breakthrough role in Scum in 1979. Other credits from a storied career include That Summer!, Quadrophenia, Sexy Beast, The Departed and Nil By Mouth, alongside Kathy Burke and Gary Oldman.

Ray has a strong connection to Sicily, and regularly spends time at his Italian retreat, where he lives with a degree of self-sufficiency growing fruit, vegetables, nuts and even making his own olive oil. As we find out, Ray has immersed himself completely into Sicilian culture, and takes time to swap notes with Angela about its benefits and idiosyncrasies. We also hear about Ray’s sweet tooth, his love of a rib of beef and slow cooked meats, and the joy of sharing sloppy pig trotters with pals.

Angela serves up a Dover sole with buttery capers & shallots, inspired by this pan-fried plaice recipe, with sides of Jersey Royals and green helga beans. There’s also some of Angela’s own focaccia to help mop up any delicious buttery juices. The wine flows through the episode, beginning with a bottle of Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella, with M de Minuty Côtes De Provence Rosé the suggested pairing for the meal. Don’t forget the salted caramel truffles, too. They come along with the Goody Bag for the ultimate final temptation for Ray.

Ray can be seen as crime boss Bobby Glass in The Gentlemen on Netflix right now, with Season 2 landing on 3 September. The show, directed and produced by Guy Ritchie, features a cast including Theo James, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson and former Dish guest, Kaya Scodelario. As we know from our chat with Natalie Portman, a set run by Guy Ritchie is always a tasty one, so what did Ray make of the catering?!

Angela takes on the ‘assassin’s method’ for our rock-star guest

Serge Pizzorno is musician, songwriter, record producer and co-founder of Kasabian. The band, who release their latest album, Act III, on 4 September, have been together since the early ’00s, with Serge taking on frontman responsibilities in 2020. He joins us after a huge gig at London’s Finsbury Park, in front of 50,000 people - so the Fast Food Quiz in front of the Dish crew should be a doddle.

Serge’s palate has been on quite a journey, from bread with no butter to taking on big hitting flavours, including today’s spicy pasta. Angela serves bucatini all’assassina, with burrata & ’nduja crumb, using spaghetti instead of bucatini. It’s a pasta cooked like no other we’ve made on Dish before, using risotto-esque techniques and producing spaghetti with a dark, smoky char. It’s served with focaccia from Angela’s range, and paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a bottle of Araldica Barbera D'Asti Superiore.

It was so much fun getting to know Serge off-stage. From his Italian roots, to his loyalty to Leicester, and his life-long passion for bread, he is welcome back anytime. And not only are we confident you will want to try the recipe after this episode, but you might go in search of a runner’s high too.

Fresh off a flight to take a seat at the Dish table.

Jamie-Lee O’Donnell is an Irish actor known for her roles in Screws, Leonard & Hungry Paul, and Derry Girls as the iconic Michelle Mallon. Jamie-Lee jetted in from Barcelona to be with Nick and Angela for lunchtime skewers, and a catch up about film, TV and fashion projects galore.

Fuelled by energy drinks after an early flight, Jamie-Lee brings no shortage of strong food opinions to the table. She loves her meals to be sharp and sexy, but not wiggly, and feels passionately about crisp toasties and a chicken box after a night out at ‘le pub’.

Angela responds to her list of likes and dislikes with a Spanish-influenced meal for Jamie-Lee. Starting with gildas three ways before tuna grill-das, served with a tomato & cucumber salad with mint & whipped feta, and a side of sweet and smokey Cornish potatoes. We begin with a glass of Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo Red Wine, while the main is paired with a bottle of Fleur d'Azur Luberon Rosé by the Waitrose wine experts.

Jamie-Lee can be seen at the Goodwood Revival, which takes place from 18-20 September. She’s appearing on the Style Stage to talk about her passion for fashion and the importance of costume across her variety of roles. Tickets for the weekend are on sale right now. We also chat about Jamie-Lee’s role in the upcoming movie Girl Group, directed by Rebel Wilson, and find out about a haircut that proves to be a real talking point.

You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.
