LISTEN UP

"'Dish’ podcast with Angela Hartnett and Nick Grimshaw. I like to think of myself as a mini chef, and I love the relaxed conversations they have with some really interesting guests. Miriam Margolyes is my icon, and she was incredible on it! But when isn't she! One day I hope for Angela to cook me some good old Northern spirited food! I hope she’s reading!"
