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.

Everything from the guest list to the menu, the playlist, we're going to hear it all.

A returning guest today in the very lovely form of Tom Carriage.

I really truly appreciate so much how much thought the guests are putting into their answers,

and Tom was no exception.

I think a lot of people would be behind Tom as Prime Minister.

What do you think?

Tom's brilliant new book, Pub Kitchen,

the ultimate modern British food Bible, is out this week and it's a delicious collection

of pub classics with a twist that you can make at home. I'll pop all the information in the show

notes. I've got a copy and it looks fantastic. Despite being a Michelin-starred chef,

Tom's recipes are always so accessible and achievable.

I really hope you enjoyed today's episode.

Thank you so much for listening to the Dream Dinner Party.

I'm so happy you're enjoying it.

Without further ado, here is Tom Carriage's dream dinner party.

Well, my general thoughts on dinner parties, they actually, I've got to be honest,

they make my toes curl just a little.

And it feels like everything about middle class and middle England that is everything that I

haven't come from, which is why I do

restaurants. So people don't have to do dinner parties, they can come out to eat with us.
