Welcome to another episode of our side dish: The Dream Dinner Party and our guest today is Gizzi Erskine
This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us their dream dinner party. They are allowed to invite 4 guests – dead or alive because really I think personally 5 people is the optimum number for a great dinner party. And they are going to be talking us through their dream menu – what are they going to serve when there are no limits or practicalities to think about.
We have a returning guest for you this week in the form of Gizzi Erskine. Gizzie was a guest on Desert Island Dishes quite a few years ago now – in the early-ish years – so well worth scrolling back and having a listen to that as Gizzie is a lot of fun, she’s very passionate about food and there were some delicious dishes in there. I should say that I know some of you listen to desert island dishes as a family – maybe you have it on the speaker when you’re cooking Sunday lunch and this one – it’s not risqué or anything but there are things talked about that perhaps you wouldn’t want young ears to hear or enquire about.

Despite growing up above his fathers Michelin starred restaurant, Matt says he had little interest in pursuing a career in food and fell into baking as a hobby while studying at university.

And they are going to be talking us through their dream menu – what are they going to serve when there are no limits or practicalities to think about.
These mini episodes are really fun to record – and I do feel like they give us another insight into the guest. Who you choose to invite, and why is really interesting and how you approach the whole question. Clare as you will know probably already but also because she was on Desert Island Dishes last week – is a 3 starred Michelin chef so as you can imagine her menu did not disappoint. I only have to hope it wouldn’t be me picking up the bill at the end.

We have a returning guest for you this week in the form of the brilliant Sunday times best selling author Dawn O'Porter. I was lucky enough to catch Dawn in the lead up to her brand new book being published. Honey Bee has been described as Funny, relatable and incredibly entertaining - much like Dawn herself! It's a gorgeous celebration of female friendship. Another brilliant novel from Dawn - she is a woman of many talents, and so much fun to talk to. Buy Honey Bee from all good bookshops or find it here.
I hope you enjoy today's episode if you do – it’s worth going back and listening to dawn’s main episode of desert island dishes as it’s a goodie. A few years ago now but that’s the nice thing about these interviews, they are evergreen.

My guest today is the founder of Hoppers - Karan Gokani. Combining his passion for cooking with his love of the country of Sri Lanka he has built a restaurant empire celebrating the food of Sri Lanka and Southern India. I went to Sri Lanka last year for the first time and completely fell in love with the food. I’ve been to Hoppers many times so I kind of knew what to expect but honestly it’s just the most amazing country and the most delicious food so it was brilliant to hear from Karan about his love for it it too.
I know I told you that this was going to just be a little short season for the month of February but already we have come to the last episode of this mini season – it’s gone very quickly but fear not as we are already recording the next – so hopefully wont be too long to wait.
Another reminder to any one listening – if you haven’t yet subscribed to my newsletter Dinner Tonight, please do think about it. It’s one easy weeknight recipe, often one pan, mostly 30 minutes or less and I look forwards to writing it every week and it’s honestly amazing that there are so many people reading it.

My guest today is Bee Wilson. In all honesty, Bee is one of the most interesting and thought provoking food writers and historians we’ve ever known.
She is the author of 8 books about food and eating. Her books have won multiple awards, and she’s won 5 Guild of food writers awards for her journalism. After over 20 years of food writing, this year she released her first cookbook, The Secret of Cooking, something she says she’s dreamt of doing since the age of 8.
She has been described by Yotam Ottolenghi as "the ultimate food scholar" and writes brilliantly about all aspects of our current food culture.She counts Nigella and Diana Henry as friends (and fans) and I so enjoyed getting to chat to her and hear her Desert Island Dishes.
I hope you enjoy this one and thank you so much for listening.

This week we have Zena Kamgaing on The Dream Dinner Party. I love bringing you Desert Island dishes but I also selfishly do love the dream dinner party – it’s a just a little bit of fun, I love how everyone of the guests have really embraced the theme and taken it seriously – in a very unserious way. Zena was no exception – I love the sound of her dream dinner party – there is a part in this where she gets me to play one of the games she likes to play but we cut out the actual game part as I would have given away the answers and potentially ruined your fun.
Hope you enjoy listening to the dream dinner party as much as I enjoy bringing it to you and I always want to hear from you the listener about who you would be inviting and what you would be serving!
Thank you to our sponsor for this month – the brilliant family run butcher HG Walter. www.hgwalter.com
