After Nick and Angela paid a visit to his Radio 2 show last year, consider this the return leg, with better snacks. It’s long-time wish-list guest, Romesh Ranganathan! One thing’s for sure: Romesh is busy. The BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter joins us while gearing up for his next stand-up tour, Romesh Ranganathan Will Change Your Life (kicking off in January 2027), all while starring opposite Sheridan Smith in the West End’s Woman in Mind. Add in hosting The Weakest Link, A League Of Their Own and two podcasts including Wolf & Owl, and it’s a wonder he had time for dinner! So it’s time to sit back, relax, and get the full Dish treatment! We start with non-alcoholic fiery lime margaritas and black truffle Torres crisps before Romesh hands things over with a simple “chef’s choice”. Angela goes for a cauliflower and spinach curry with all the sides, plus a cooling vegan raita. The Waitrose wine experts suggest a No.1 Grüner Veltliner, a crisp, dry white. We chat late-night chilli oil cravings, why roasting counts as a love language in the Ranganathan household, and the undeniable perks of co-owning a bakery when a doughnut mood strikes. In honour of Valentine’s Day, we also unveil The Oven Glove of Romesh Love, packed with appreciation to balance out his elite self-deprecation. And don’t miss the End of Show Question… next week’s guest might already be en route!
