Romesh Ranganathan loves our cauliflower & spinach curry and fiery margaritas

Описание

The wait for a man at the top of our wish-list is finally over. Romesh Ranganathan has been on the Dish radar for a long time. Last year, Nick and Angela visited him on his Radio 2 show and extended the invite to join us for dinner. This year, we managed to sync diaries and make it a Valentine’s date! Romesh is a BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter. He is currently starring alongside Sheridan Smith in the West End Play, Woman In Mind, and took a seat with us to chat about his upcoming stand-up tour, Romesh Ranganathan Will Change Your Life. It’s a show which he is promoting well in advance, with dates starting in January next year. Sounds organised? It has to be, with Romesh also hosting two podcasts, including Wolf & Owl with Tom Davis alongside TV shows such as The Weakest Link and A League Of Their Own. Officially booked and busy. Over non-alcoholic fiery lime margaritas, we quickly got to understand the intricacies of Romesh’s food likes and dislikes, including his late night chilli oil temptations and how his love of doughnuts made for a business venture. And, seeing as we are celebrating Valentine’s Day, we pulled out The Oven Glove of Romesh Love, filled with Ranganathan appreciation to combat his talent for self-deprecation. The decision for today was left in Angela’s hands, as Romesh opted for ‘chef’s choice’. Chef wisely decided on a delicious cauliflower and spinach curry with all the sides. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a No.1 Gruner Veltliner, described as an exceptionally food friendly dry, crisp white wine. Stick around for the End of Show Question, too, because we found a great courier for the goody bag delivery. He’s on next week! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.
