Dish S:E Creative Studio

Dua Lipa is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. She has won three Grammys and picked up her seventh Brit award in March for Best Pop Act. Last year, she collaborated with Mark Ronson on Dance the Night, which featured on the Barbie soundtrack, and appeared in the film as Mermaid Barbie.

This year is proving to be Dua’s most successful yet with the release of her highly anticipated third studio album, Radical Optimism. As well as fulfilling a lifelong dream of headlining Glastonbury, Dua will spend the summer playing the festival circuit, wrapping up her live dates in the Royal Albert Hall in October. When she's not singing, Dua hosts her podcast, At Your Service, and shares literary recommendations in her Service95 Book Club.



As a massive foodie, Dua Lipa is easy to please. Angela begins with roasted radishes with whipped tahini, followed by steak tagliata with asparagus and lentils. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a Fairview barrel aged pinotage.



Conversation around the table is brimming with talk of travel, food and Dua’s brand new album. She is in training and runs Nick and Ange through her plans for the biggest live show of her life on the Pyramid stage. And for all of you stargazers out there, listen out for Dua’s thoughts on astrology.

The actor and writer join Nick and Angela to talk about the new series of The Responder.



Martin Freeman is a man of many genres and he has mastered most of them in his 27 year career. We first fell in love with him as Tim in The Office in 2001; he gained cult status as Dr Watson in Sherlock in 2010; and then hit the big time as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit in 2012. Martin won a Bafta and an Emmy for Sherlock and last year scooped an International Emmy for his portrayal of Chris Carson in The Responder.



Tony Schumacher spent 12 years as a policeman in Liverpool before a period of poor mental health forced him to take stock. While on the road to healing, Tony tried his hand at stand-up comedy and, encouraged by his wife, decided to pursue his dream of becoming an author. Tony has written three novels and penned his critically-acclaimed BBC drama with Martin Freeman in mind.



Nick welcomes our guests with a negroni while Angela prepares the best bolognese by Martha Collison, a dish specially requested by Martin. The meal is paired with a Villa Antinori Rosso by the experts at Waitrose. Talk around the table kicks off with praise for Martin Freeman’s Liverpudlian accent, we find out what makes Tony cry and Martin recalls the day he decided vegetarianism was no longer for him.

Marian Keyes is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time. She has written more than 20 books and sold over 35 million copies worldwide. Marian studied law in Dublin to placate her parents but had no interest in pursuing a legal career. Instead her rebellious nature took her to the UK where she lived in a squat in East London. It never occurred to Marian that she might be a writer until one day when she was inspired to write a short story. Her first novel, Watermelon, was published in Ireland in 1995 and was an overnight success. Marian’s books are as charming and chatty as she. Her latest novel, My Favourite Mistake, is out now.



Angela prepares a showstopping carrot tarte tatin which Marian adores and the experts at Waitrose pair the dish with a Loved and Found Susumaniello Rosato Organic Puglia Rosé. As the proudest Irish woman out there, Marian kicks off conversation with talk of the motherland, she speaks candidly about her unconventional route to becoming an author and Nick and Angela challenge her to a round of the oven glove quiz.

Kaya Scodelario has grown up in the spotlight. The British-Brazilian actress shot to fame as Effy on E4’s comedy-drama Skins. The show has remained popular with audiences since the early noughties, tackling issues such as teen addiction and mental illness. That success propelled Kaya to the big screen, where she won roles in two massive movie franchises, Maze Runner and Pirates of the Caribbean. Kaya’s latest role is in Guy Ritchie’s hit series The Gentlemen on Netflix, playing Susie Glass alongside an all-star cast of Theo James, Vinnie Jones and Ray Winstone.



Nick welcomes Kaya with a Whiskey Sour inspired by her latest role, while Angela makes her carb-loving dreams come true with a pesto & three-cheese hedgehog garlic bread to start and fresh tagliatelle with buttery cavolo nero, anchovies and pangrattato for the main course.



Kaya speaks frankly about the film industry and how she chooses roles. She and Nick reminisce about the Skins’ days and she shares how her Brazilian roots have shaped her cooking and, more importantly, her eating!
