Bow down to the King of Crimping!  On this episode of Dish, we have a wonderful time in the company of Irish singer-songwriter, Niall Horan. Niall rose to prominence as a member of One Direction and, following the band’s hiatus, has been releasing music and touring as a solo artist. His latest single, Dinner Party, is out now, with an album of the same name, due out on 5 June. Following the completion of his pre-show ‘survey’, we were able to make Niall’s Dish dreams come true by not only serving him a hearty pie, but getting him to make his own version to take home for a second helping. Things begin with a strong Pomegranate Negroni that seems to hit the spot. We get to hear about Niall’s first time on a stage, his aversion to a range of vegetables and the presence of fruit in a savoury meal. We then hit the main course, a pie which uses Martha Collison’s beef Bourguignon for the filling, served with a cauli Cheddar mash. It was the full pie experience, with a shortcrust pastry base and top, all served with a glass of No.1 Côtes du Rhône Villages. Thank you to Niall for naming his record Dinner Party, which made for a great conversation about the music, but was also the perfect excuse for some end-of-show icebreakers... when the ice was already well and truly broken. As you may have guessed, this episode was recorded ahead of St Patrick’s Day.   Find all Dish episodes here: https://pod.link/1626354833 All recipes from this podcast can be found at https://www.waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at https://www.waitrose.com/dish Follow Dish: https://www.instagram.com/dish_podcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dishpodcast Follow Waitrose: https://www.instagram.com/waitrose/ https://www.tiktok.com/@waitrose Follow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nicholasgrimshaw/ https://www.tiktok.com/@nickgrimshaw Follow Angela: https://www.instagram.com/angelacooking/ Follow Cold Glass Productions: https://www.instagram.com/coldglassproductions/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/cold-glass-productions We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.
