Nick and Angela welcome award-winning author, journalist, columnist, podcaster, screenwriter and foodie Dolly Alderton!

Her first book Everything I Know About Love became a top five Sunday Times bestseller in its first week of publication and won a National Book Award in 2018. She is the former co-host and co-creator of the podcast The High Low. Dolly’s first novel Ghosts was published in 2020 and this year, Everything I Know About Love was adapted into a BBC One TV Series. Currently, she has her dream job, Agony Aunt at The Sunday Times Style, and a collection of her columns have been released as a book Dear Dolly, which is out now.

In September Dolly wrote on instagram ‘I don’t want to interact with you at all unless you are a bowl of soup or maybe a stew’... Angela took the hint and prepared a Tuscan-inspired fish stew with a side of crusty bread. Nick was on hand with a classic Champagne cocktail and the three discussed everything they know about love, life, friendship and, of course, cooking.

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 (and especially any Christmas dilemmas) to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.
