Summary

This week we have Zena Kamgaing on The Dream Dinner Party. I love bringing you Desert Island dishes but I also selfishly do love the dream dinner party – it’s a just a little bit of fun, I love how everyone of the guests have really embraced the theme and taken it seriously – in a very unserious way. Zena was no exception – I love the sound of her dream dinner party – there is a part in this where she gets me to play one of the games she likes to play but we cut out the actual game part as I would have given away the answers and potentially ruined your fun.

Hope you enjoy listening to the dream dinner party as much as I enjoy bringing it to you and I always want to hear from you the listener about who you would be inviting and what you would be serving!

Thank you to our sponsor for this month – the brilliant family run butcher HG Walter. www.hgwalter.com

So there we have it Gennaro’s dream dinner party is over, the food has been eaten and the guests have gone home. I do hope you enjoyed todays episode and make sure you’re subscribed to catch all episodes of The Dream Dinner Party and Desert lsland Dishes. Thank you so much for listening!

0:00.0	This episode of Desert Island Dishes is brought to in partnership with the independent
0:04.3	family-run butcher, HG Walter. Now, I'm particularly excited about this because for over 10 years,
0:10.6	I have been a customer of HG. Walter for both my cooking jobs and also for at home too.
0:16.4	They are one of the most respected butchers in the UK, supplying some of the best chefs and restaurants
0:21.2	in the country. So it's quite cool to know that you are getting restaurant quality meat at home.
0:27.0	And I know I've said this a million times before, but if you start with good ingredients, your life
0:32.1	as a cook is so much easier. You barely have to do anything for it to taste delicious. And we know that good
0:38.6	quality meat is more important than ever. If you're anything like me, you are thinking more and
0:43.6	more about the provenance of the food you eat. And so having a butcher you can trust like HG
0:48.6	water is just a very comforting thing. Also, never underestimate the knowledge of a butcher. If you don't know how to
0:56.5	cook something, ask when you're in there. They know so much they can advise about cooking times,
1:02.0	the weight you need, and they'll always have delicious ideas for how they like to serve something.
1:07.1	I found this kind of information absolutely invaluable when I was starting out as a chef,
1:12.4	so I am thrilled to be telling you all about HG Walter today.
1:16.8	They're based in London, but they deliver nationwide, and you can find out more at
1:20.9	www.hgwater.com. Thank you very much.
1:27.7	Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our side dish, the dream dinner
1:33.7	party.
1:34.4	This is a mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their dream dinner party.
1:39.9	This is a game I know a lot of people have played perhaps on long car journeys, maybe even first dates.
1:46.4	So it's very fun to sit down with a different guest every week and hear who they would invite and importantly, what they would serve.
1:54.0	This week we have Zen Akangain. I love bringing you Desert Island dishes, but I also selfishly do really love the dream dinner party.
