Dish

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

Mark Ronson, an award-winning DJ, producer, and author of the memoir *Night People*, chats about his vibrant career and food favorites. He reminisces about wild nights with celebs like Adele and Amy Winehouse while enjoying a delightful roast chicken.

With a toast over dirty vodka martinis, they dive into hilarious stories from New York's nightlife.

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.

Sir Grayson Perry, a Turner Prize-winning artist, potter, and broadcaster, joins Nick and Angela for a delightful chat. He shares insights from his 'Are You Good?' tour, exploring the theme of personal behavior. Grayson discusses his newfound passion for filmmaking at 65 and reflects on his nostalgic love for greasy spoon breakfasts.

He also humorously recounts experiences on The Masked Singer and his creative process.

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.
