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,

sitting around the dining room table and maybe even on a first date.

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

This week we have Madeline Shaw, who is a nutritional therapist based in London.

An interesting fact for you, I've done one live recording of Desert Island

Dishes and Maddie was the guest. So if you want to go back and listen to her episode of Desert

Island Dishes, it was a few years ago now, but that one was recorded in front of a live audience.

I don't know how, but I managed to record it. I didn't have anyone helping me.

And to be honest, it's a miracle that we have that recording. But yes, we love a returning guest,

and I do hope you enjoy hearing all about Maddie's dream dinner party. And Rowan Atkinson,

if you're listening, I sincerely apologize for what you're about to hear.

And please know, I'm a big fan.

And I meant no offence.

I really hope you enjoy listening.

I love hosting people.

I really like having people around.

I like sharing and giving and celebrating.

So for me, yeah, it brings me a lot of joy.

And do you get to do them very often? Yeah, I probably have people around quite a lot, maybe every few weeks. Yeah. So not necessarily some like massive thing, but yeah, I definitely cook for people,

friends, family, a lot a lot so yeah that's
