Dish

The Odyssey star joins us for a skewer voyage. We’re delighted to host Tom Holland once again. His appearance on our Christmas 2024 special is written in Dish lore, so we jumped at the chance for a reunion ahead of a huge summer for the British actor. And that time came after England’s early morning World Cup victory over Mexico. Guess who of our trio stayed up for it?  Released a few weeks apart, Tom is in two global blockbusters certain to dominate cinema screens. First up is The Odyssey, as part of an all-star cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. The film, directed by Christopher Nolan, delivers the Homer epic at scale, shooting on IMAX cameras in locations across the world.  The Odyssey is out now, ahead of Tom’s second summer film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day: and that’s the focus of Part 2 of our chat, released next week on 29 July. We love Tom Holland, the summer edition, and our free-flowing conversation moves from filming with Lionel Messi, to meme-worthy red carpet poses, and an inside perspective on the challenge of Hot Ones. Alongside a menu of summery skewers and salads, Angela’s sights are set on pigs in blankets redemption, after burning them for Tom when they last met. Can our super chef deliver a perfectly cooked, sticky starter? Stay tuned to find out...  The pigs are the warm-up ahead of padrón pepper and halloumi skewers using the Ottolenghi sweet & smokey seasoning. It’s served with an asparagus, pea & mint salad with lamb’s lettuce and lemon and chive dressing, a recipe by Ellie Curshen. For this meal, the Waitrose wine experts have suggested a pairing of Isula Mea Syrah-Sciaccarellu Rosé IGP Ile de Beauté.  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 asparagus, pea & mint salad with lamb’s lettuce and lemon and chive dressing was created for Waitrose by @ellypear.

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.
