Tom Holland, Part 2. The skewers sequel... this time, it’s pork and pineapple!

Tom Holland, Part 2. The skewers sequel... this time, it’s pork and pineapple!

Is he our new co-host now?! We return to the table with Tom Holland for another instalment of Dish, as the actor shares stories from his big summer on cinema screens. After focusing on The Odyssey in Part 1, we switch from Greek armour to spandex and chat about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, out now in UK cinemas.  After first being cast at the age of 18, Tom returns as Peter Parker for a fourth time alongside stars including Zendaya, Jon Bernthal and Sadie Sink. The production was shot in locations across the UK, including London and Glasgow, bringing city traffic to a standstill, as Angela can verify!  Luckily Tom has saved room for more food, and we continue our feast with a serving of spicy pork & pineapple skewers [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/spicy-pork-pineapple-skewers] and a village Greek salad [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/village-greek-salad], which is a Georgina Hayden recipe. The meal is served with a side of garlic and rosemary potatoes, and the wine pairing is a bottle of Isula Mea Syrah-Sciaccarellu Rosé IGP Ile de Beauté [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/isula-mea-syrah-sciaccarellu-rose-igp-ile-de-beaute/830411-824506-824507].  Tom is a family guy, and we get to hear all about his brother Sam, a chef who makes fantastic food and isn’t afraid to boss Tom about in the kitchen. There’s an end of the show challenge to impress Angela, and we finally get to hear what Tom’s favourite kitchen utensil is.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@dishpodcast] and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes [http://waitrose.com/dishrecipes] The recipe for the village Greek salad [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/village-greek-salad] was created for Waitrose by Georgina Hayden.

Tom Holland returns! Part 1 featuring smokey skewers and... pigs in blankets

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 [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/sticky-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 [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/padron-pepper-halloumi-skewers-with-sweet-smokey-honey-drizzle] using the Ottolenghi sweet & smokey seasoning [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/ottolenghi-sweet-smoky-seasoning/738228-824868-824869]. It’s served with an asparagus, pea & mint salad with lamb’s lettuce and lemon and chive dressing [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/asparagus-pea-mint-salad-with-lambs-lettuce-and-lemon-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 [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/isula-mea-syrah-sciaccarellu-rose-igp-ile-de-beaute/830411-824506-824507].  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@dishpodcast] and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes [http://waitrose.com/dishrecipes] The recipe for the asparagus, pea & mint salad with lamb’s lettuce and lemon and chive dressing [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/asparagus-pea-mint-salad-with-lambs-lettuce-and-lemon-chive-dressing] was created for Waitrose by @ellypear [https://www.instagram.com/ellypear].

Simon Pegg tucks into South Indian lamb chops

Dish is on high alert as we’re joined by the ‘food shark’.  Fresh off a flight from New York, we’re delighted to welcome Simon Pegg. An English actor and comedian, Pegg is loved for his iconic TV and movie roles, be that TV sitcom Spaced, the Mission: Impossible franchise or The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End), in which he stars alongside good pal Nick Frost, who we know as a great onion chopper.  Simon joins Nick and Angela to talk about the return of Channel 4’s The Undeclared War, which sees him resume his role as Danny Patrick, the Director of Operations at GCHQ. The tense technological thriller, which centres around the threat of cyber attacks and digital sabotage, is available to watch from 21 July.  Angela serves Andhra chintakaya chaap [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/andhra-chintakaya-chaap], a recipe for a rich and flavoursome lamb chop curry, created by Maunika Gowardhan. This is paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a bottle of Beaujolais Cuvée Des Vignerons Franc [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/beaujolais-cuvee-des-vignerons-france/032766-16027-16028].  Nicknamed ‘the food shark’ by his family, due to his opportunistic approach to dinnertime, Simon is fantastic company. We hear about high-concept dining with Nick Frost, get the final word on eating scones, and Angela learns all about the Tom Cruise cake. We also discover Simon’s favourite moment from completing the ‘nerd trifecta’.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@dishpodcast] and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes [http://waitrose.com/dishrecipes] The recipe for Andhra chintakaya chaap [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/andhra-chintakaya-chaap] was created for Waitrose by Maunika Gowardhan [https://www.instagram.com/cookinacurry].

Sophie Willan falls for our golden chicken, tomatoes and green beans...

And shares her own secret recipe with Angela. Sophie Willan is a three-time BAFTA winning comedian, actor, writer and author, and a very good friend of Dish. We first hosted Sophie for our debut live - and unrecorded - show in London. So, we just had to have her back and set everything to record this time round.  Sophie is best known for her hit show, Alma’s Not Normal, which has seen her win BAFTA after BAFTA. She’s also appeared in Ludwig and Small Prophets, and went down in Taskmaster folklore for her star turn on the show. She is on Dish to talk about her new job, hosting The Great British Sewing Bee alongside judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young, with the new series on the way very soon.  Sophie’s partner, Carniel Francis-Levy, is a chef, and the couplehad their first child, Elijah, last year. Over a glass of Waitrose Blueprint Prosecco [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/waitrose-blueprint-prosecco/718427-224720-224721], we chat about life as a new mum and hear about the benefits and challenges of living with a great cook.   Angela serves a comforting dish of perfectly cooked golden chicken, tomatoes & green beans [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/golden-chicken-tomatoes-green-beans], paired with a glass of Calvet Sancerre Rosé [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/calvet-sancerre-rose/856141-343674-343675]. But that’s not the end of the cooking, as Sophie demonstrates her favourite, and somewhat challenging, food combination for Angela’s verdict.  Welcome back Sophie.

Sam Smith is delighted by our lobster rolls with lemon & dill

They’ve got lobster on their mind!  Sam Smith is a BRIT Award, Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning singer and songwriter. They join us ahead of the release of their new album, Hazel Eyes, which is released on 21 August and features their new single, My Guy. But first, it’s time for the long-awaited debut of lobster on Dish, the perfect star ingredient for a guest who once had aspirations to be a fishmonger, and also ideal to help Angela through a small hangover.  Sam lives in New York with their partner Christian, and tells us about the impact the move has had on their tastebuds and their capacity to handle heat. They’ve also recently started a food blog on Instagram, SamServed [https://www.instagram.com/samserved/?hl=en], where you can get a glimpse of their favourite dishes including fish and chips, peanut butter and chicken wings. Another favourite is turnip cake, which tastes so good, Sam had it tattooed on their body.   We start with caviar on crisps and ice cold Waitrose Blanc de Noirs Champagne [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/waitrose-blanc-de-noirs-champagne/083801-42538-42539], before Angela serves up lobster rolls with lemon & dill [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/lobster-rolls-lemon-dill]. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a bottle of Famille Brocard Organic Chablis 2025 Burgundy [https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/famille-brocard-organic-chablis/800782-772143-772144].  Sam loves food (even more than music) and tells us about the addictive joys of touring, where they can combine both passions. We also hear about the time they got ‘Chaka’fied’ by Chaka Khan, nights at the Met Gala and a truly unforgettable gift from Ed Sheeran.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@dishpodcast] and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes [http://waitrose.com/dishrecipes] A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish [http://waitrose.com/dish] If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk [dish@waitrose.co.uk]  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions [http://acoldglass.com] 00:00 Welcome! 03:05 Angela’s Hartnett range at Waitrose 05:06 Sam Smith is here!  07:52 Champagne and caviar cheers! 09:57 Sam Smith is a certified foodie  13:49 Sam’s food likes and dislikes  17:25 Life in New York  21:45 Food is served!  25:20 Sam’s food Instagram  26:40 To gatekeep or not to gatekeep?  28:22 Wine pairing  28:30 New album and the writing process  32:34 Sam’s presence in music  33:54 New live shows!  35:13 The influence of Chaka Khan 37:07 The Met Gala  38:54 That outfit at the BRITs… 39:32 Fast food quiz  41:51 End of the show question Learn more about your ad choices.
