Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our side dish, the dream dinner party.

This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their dream dinner party.

This is a game I know a lot of people have played perhaps on long car journeys, maybe even a first date and definitely around the supper table.

So it's really fun to sit down with a different guest each week and hear who they would invite and what they would serve.

This week we have Clodagh Macana who is so much fun.

She makes the most delicious food but she also makes the setting and everything around her look so beautiful.

You'll have seen her cooking on ITVs this morning, as well as her brilliant Instagram videos she did during lockdown,

that brought a lot of cheer to a lot of people, and she's also written several brilliant books.

I think she's actually the only dream dinner party host where

I have actually been to a dinner party that she hosted and it was so much fun. A lot of dancing,

mainly to Tina Turner. So I knew that her dream dinner party would be very special. So without

further ado, here is Clodagh's dream dinner party.

I love a dinner party. I like to call it a separate party myself. And I always have just because

I find it gives more of the vibe that I like to create. I love having people all around the table

relaxed over food and sharing stories and a little break

from the world outside. That's what I think that the ultimate dinner party or separate party is.

Oh yes. I love that alternate name. And also I have to say I feel very privileged because I have been to one of your

supper parties. And I don't think anyone throws a more fun supper party. You are the hostess

with the mostess and there's always dancing and everything like that. Do you get to throw them

very often? I do. I do. I mean, I cook supper at home every night.

But that's usually just the two of us or, you know, random family members.

But every weekend I have people for supper.
