Summary

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.

Thank you so much or listening.Thank you very much to our sponsor for this season: Maldon Salt. Maldon Salt are passionate about the love of food and helping connect people in moments of pleasure from food and drink and so are the perfect match for Desert Island Dishes. Find out more here.

Thank you so much or listening to the dream dinner party, these really are fun to do so I hope they're fun to listen to.

0:00.0	This season of Desert Island dishes is sponsored by Molden Salt, the finest natural sea salt flakes handcrafted from the British coastline.
0:08.3	They are, quite frankly, the masters of salt, putting craft care and passion into everything they do.
0:14.7	You only have to read one of my recipes to know that I use Mold and Salt every single day for all of my cooking. To say I am a fan
0:23.2	is an understatement. So to be working with them this season is a dream come true. I'm often asked
0:29.4	about the secret to getting better at cooking and my answer is honestly always the same. It comes down
0:35.1	to seasoning and not just as an afterthought. You have to season at every stage
0:40.2	and that's why I love mould and salt. It's light and delicate due to the soft and crunchy pyramid
0:46.4	shape flakes and it's just the easiest way to take simple dishes to the next level. Trust me,
0:53.0	your cooking life will not be the same. Thank you very
0:56.2	much to Molden Salt. Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our side dish,
1:06.4	the dream dinner party. This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their
1:12.2	dream dinner party. The only rules are that they're only allowed to invite four guests and they can be
1:17.9	dead or alive. And really, that's only because I think five is the optimum number for a really
1:23.9	great dinner party. They're also going to be talking us through their dream menu,
1:28.3	and I think it's pretty hard to listen to one of these episodes and not think about what your
1:32.9	own answers would be. I know mine change on pretty much a daily basis. These mini episodes are
1:39.6	really fun to record. They feel slightly more frivolous than the main desert island dishes, for which
1:45.2	I do a lot of research. And so these kind of feel lighter, slightly less formal, which I think is
1:52.1	nice. And you do all seem to be really enjoying the dream dinner party, which makes me very happy.
1:58.3	We have a returning guest for you this week in the form of Gizzy Erskine.
2:02.3	Gizzy was a guest on Desert Island dishes quite a few years ago now in the early-ish years.
2:08.6	So it's well worth scrolling back and having a listen to that as Gizzy is a lot of fun.
