Summary

Hello! We are very nearly back with our new season! Currently recording the next season as we speak so in anticipation of our imminent return I thought it would be fun to release a few golden oldies from the archives for you to enjoy. This week is with the wonderful Dolly Alderton.

If you've ever enjoyed an episode of Desert Island Dishes and you're glad we are returning, can I ask you to share it with your friends? This podcast has grown in the way it has all through word of mouth and I'm so grateful to you all! Please do keep sharing and helping to spread the word as it really does make a difference.

If you've not heard this episode before I hope you enjoy and if you have, I hope a trip down memory lane will be be a lovely way to start the week.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to the Desert Island Dishes podcast.
0:06.1	This is the podcast where every week I ask my guests to choose their seven Desert Island dishes.
0:12.9	These range from finding out about the dish that most reminds them of their childhood,
0:17.2	the best dish they've ever eaten, and of course, the last dish they would choose to eat before being cast off to the desert island.
0:25.9	For this episode from the archives, we are going right back to one of the very first guests we had on the podcast, the one and only, Dolly Alderton.
0:36.1	Now, you will hear from the audio quality that this definitely
0:39.6	was one of the very first we recorded. I like to think things have got a little more professional
0:44.8	since then, but if you can forgive the not quite perfect sound quality, then I hope you will
0:50.4	enjoy this one. Dolly was already a big deal at the time with her own very successful
0:55.9	podcast, The High Low, and she was just about to come out with her first book. And what a book
1:02.2	that was. It was a book that took the world by storm. She's been described as the Nora Ephron
1:08.3	of her generation and is now basically a total rock star.
1:13.0	She's gone on to write a novel and her first book has been turned into a brilliant TV show.
1:19.2	So how lucky was I to get to interview her before all of that happened and before her life changed forever in many ways?
1:26.7	We discuss a mutual love of all things Nigella,
1:30.6	a love of butter, bread,
1:32.7	and the joy of having a side of carbs
1:35.0	when you're already having carbs.
1:37.8	Dolly has a complicated relationship with shortbread,
1:40.9	which we explore,
1:42.3	along with the idea of using food to make friends.
1:45.9	We all do that, don't we?
