Elizabeth Day, crab and fennel salad and a dirty vodka martini

Elizabeth Day is a household name, an award-winning writer and presenter of one of the most successful podcasts in the UK. On How to Fail, she speaks to luminaries such as Gloria Steinem, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Bernadine Evaristo about the things that haven’t gone right - and what we can learn from them. It’s fair to say that Elizabeth Day’s superpower is her vulnerability. She has written candidly about her divorce and fertility struggles in The Times, the Guardian, Vogue and Vanity Fair, helping others to feel less alone. Elizabeth is here to discuss her latest book, Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict. There is a Friday frisson in the air as Nick pours three dirty vodka martinis, Elizabeth’s favourite cocktail. Angela prepares a gorgeous crab and fennel salad, a recipe by Julius Roberts. The dish is paired with a special bottle of Les Mesnil Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut This trio was destined to get along and they dive right into discussing family and friendship dynamics in their respective lives. Elizabeth shares her most memorable dinner-date fails and the dream guest she’d most like to interview on her podcast.
