Hi, welcome to Dish from Waitrose. My name's Angela Hartnell.
My name is Nick Grimshaw. And here we are for Dish in 2026.
No, it's not. It's a 2026 episode, but it's 2025.
Yeah, no, I know where I am, but they're watching and listening to this in 2026.
But it's time, isn't it? Yeah, but if you're... It says it in the cards. I read the cards.
Yeah, it says you don't have to pretend it's 2026 when it's not.
But you just did.
I didn't.
I didn't say, oh, I'm into it. Anyway, hello.
It's 2026. Oh, here we go. Not that again. Well, we're not going to pretend it's not. We're not. No, but it is. It is. Yeah. How is your Christmas? No, that's pretending. No, no, pretending. That's pretending.
Hey, we're in a different place today. I know. This is second home. Is it? It's our new second home.
And how are you, Ansh? You all right?
I'm very well, thank you. And your good self?
I'm good, and do you know what? I'm excited today because two things I'm really excited about are our guest, Helen Bonham Carter, who I've never ever met in my life.
Oh, that's surprising. You've pretty much met everyone.
And I feel like she doesn't do too much stuff. No, she doesn't. And I really, really love her.
She's an incredible actor.
And I'm also really excited about something else I'm a huge fan of. Cheese toasties. Oh, excellent. So two of my favorite things. It's like Christmas. Yeah. Oh, we had a great Christmas back in 2025, didn't we? Fabulous. I think that Helena Bonham Carter has been the one that my friends have been most excited about.
Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. I think so, yeah. Yeah, she is incredible. She's super smart, super beautiful. Well, she's just beautiful. Have you ever met her? No, never. Big fan since way back. I'm old enough to remember one of her early films, A Room with a View, set in Italy.
Yeah.
Stella Carr, she's been brilliant. She's been in so many good movies.
So many great films.
And I loved her in The Crown. I thought she was fantastic.
Oh, of course, yeah.
As a queen sister.
So Helena is here. I feel like Helena Bonham Carter is one of those names you have to say.
Yes, the half title.
Helena doesn't feel right, does it? No, it feels like it. Helena Bonham Carter is here to talk about Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, which is a new Netflix show. But first, we should talk about what's in and what is out. Chicory. Chicory. Chicory. Okay, what's the difference between a chicory and an endive?
They're the same thing. It's the same thing? Chicory, you get more, it's the sort of family name. And this is like an endive, chicory endive, they call it. And you can get little smaller ones, but it's quite bitter, but which I like. I think you can cook with these. They're perfectly fantastic in a salad. They go really well with things like strong cheeses. Like there's this amazing restaurant in New York called Estella, which you've been to, I think.
On your recommendation.
And they do this great chicory salad with the endive here. And they, it's lovely, the leaves, and then they put these toasted walnuts and then this umbriaco cheese, which is like this Italian cheese soaked in red wine. And it's absolutely delicious. So it's great. And I think this something's perfect with the mustard dressing.
Mmm.
Or if you want to, you can cook with them, and it goes really well with things like duck and chicken. You can cook them slowly, roast them in butter, add some orange juice, and it takes on all those beautiful, lovely citrusy flavours. And that would be work with a Christmas dinner, a lunch.
