Marcus Wareing, a Lancashire hotpot and a Chardonnay

Nick and Angela welcome Michelin star chef and author Marcus Wareing to DISH HQ. 

Marcus Wareing is the owner of and head chef at Marcus at The Berkeley Hotel. He was the first person Gordon Ramsay ever employed and, along with Angela, the trio have run some of the UK’s finest restaurants including, the Aubergine, L’Oranger and Pétrus.

You can catch Marcus on Masterchef: The Professionals and on Marcus Wareing: Tales from a Kitchen Garden on the BBC iPlayer.

This is the first time that Angela has ever officially cooked for her friend of many years, and not one to feel the pressure, she prepares a delicious Lancashire hotpot. Marcus arrives with some of his very own Champagne and even some treats for Betty, Angela’s beloved jack russell.

In this episode, we hear what life is really like in a Michelin star kitchen. Marcus shares his tips for cooking the perfect turkey and Nick learns the basics on bees.

Just so you know, our podcast might contain the occasional mild swear word or adult theme.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help. Send your questions to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.
