Weekend Cooking: Dish Podcast

 

Do you ever think that you are always late to the party when you find something that everyone else discovered years ago? I do quite regularly. For example, it took me years to start wearing ballet flats, and now they are all I wear. Another example...I only just started my bookstagram account earlier this year! Another thing to add to the list....I only discovered the Dish Podcast earlier this year.

In case you haven't heard of it before, Dish is a British podcast hosted by radio personality Nick Grimshaw and Michelin starred chef Angela Hartnett. Each week they invite a celebrity to come to the studio where Angela cooks something delicious, they have a drink and then they chat. The show is sponsored by the British supermarket chain Waitrose and the celebrity usually gets to take home a goody bag. 

I first found it when I was watching a Stanley Tucci clip on Youtube and his episode of Dish came up as a recommendation...and from there I found myself working my way back through the episodes. I haven't watched them all yet but I have watched a quite a few. The good thing about discovering this late is that there are several series to watch as it started back in 2022.

The new season has just started and so far the guests have been Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch in the first episode and Graham Norton in the second. Both of these episodes were really great. It doesn't really matter if I know how the celebrities are although there have been some really big names from Gordon Ramsay to Mary Berry, Joanna Lumley and so many others .The conversations are always entertaining with the hosts putting them at ease, and the food always looks amazing. For example, one of the guests was an Irish singer called CMAT. I had no idea who she was, but her episode was really lots of fun.

I was already familiar with both Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett. Nick is regularly on Celebrity Gogglebox and Angela was a judge on a cooking show we watched years ago. They have great chemistry and you can tell that over the years they have developed a really lovely friendship. I have become something of a Angela fangirl after watching this show. She makes me really laugh quite a lot.

I thought I would share the episode that started it all for me. Here is the episode with the ever fabulous Stanley Tucci
