Hello and welcome to Table Manners. I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here at Mum's house.
Hi.
Mum and I are both looking a little sun-kissed. Freshly turned, yeah. Went on holiday last week. Yeah. Had the best time.
It was wonderful. I've forgotten how well we got on.
I know. Why did we get on so well? Because we weren't doing the podcast. There was no cooking. I think I was very kind to you this week.
You were kind.
I looked after you. You did. You did. Yeah. Shout out Pelagoni in Zakynthos. Oh, my goodness.
We had the best fun. I made a new best friend. Oh, my God.
Penny.
The fabulous Penny.
Do you want to tell all the listeners that are of a certain age?
So Penny started way in, and for the older people who listen, they will remember this fabulous boutique within Harrods that was completely dark with purple lighting. I've just phoned my best friend Alex, who used to go there all the time as well. We love Penny and her gorgeous daughter Kate, and we made fabulous friends.
We did. It was so fun. My daughter won Sailor of the Week. Sailor of the Week. Hang on, because I'm not a boat gal.
No.
I did do sunrise paddle, though, which I was very pleased with myself. I got up at 5.30 in the morning.
Yeah.
Sam, because I've got such bad eyesight, said that he saw a dolphin or a seal. We thought we saw dolphins. They were actually tunas. Do you know how attention-seeking tuna is?
Yeah, they dance around with their silver tails.
I was like, oh my God, because I'm blind, it's dolphins. We all thought it was dolphins. And I was like, wow, Pelagoni really seeing us off with the fireworks on the last sunset. No, they weren't dolphins, they were tuna. They were fabulous. Flapping about. It was like Fantasia needed to be playing in the background. It was like the fountains at Disney.
It was about 20 of them.
It was massive.
Yeah, it was great.
Anyway, had a great holiday. Feel rested, feel ready to go.
Feel rested, ready to go. I didn't do any windsurfing or boats. Neither did I. We did nothing like that.
But we did have good chats.
We did eat well and we drank well.
Yeah, it was amazing. So, ready to start this podcast.
Right, so I got back quite late last night. I know we did get back late. Got in at 12, watched you on Jules Holland and was thrilled because you were amazing. Thank you, Mum. So I got up and I prepared everything for dinner today so that we could, because it is a Michelin star chef.
Yeah, we have Giorgio Locatelli coming on, who is a famous Michelin star chef. who is also the new Celebrity MasterChef judge with Grace Dent. Wow. Great gig. Such a great gig. Yeah. So he's coming over. What have you got on the menu, Len?
So I've made a herb-crusted rack of lamb.
The last time I heard about a herb-crusted rack of lamb was with Nigella Lawson.
I've made a different crust. Okay. New potatoes with asparagus mixed in. Yeah. Jersey Royals, actually. And then I've done ribbons of courgette.
Which we were inspired by the old windmill in... which was shout out to Panos and his wife who's just had a new baby. Great cooking. They had in their kitchen, they had every cookbook that we've got, but they had my friend's Dusty Knuckle. They had Easter Belfridge in there. Yotam. They had Honey and Co., It was so lovely to see all these cookbooks and Panos is really doing amazing kind of fusion exciting food. Also the orange and cream ice cream and the lavender and honey ice cream were amazing. Spectacular. But we were inspired by this.
So it's kind of ribbons of courgette with a pesto lemon and olive oil dressing and pine nuts and feta on top.
And then what else are we having?
And then a gorgeous lady called Victoria told me about a fab pavlova.
You were sitting on the sun lunges next to her.
Yeah. And she said her friend recognised my voice because it's so endearing, I would say. Not whiny, as you would say. She told me about a pavlova. I was going to make something completely different for dessert. where you put pistachio cream in with the cream, and then it's got strawberries, crushed pistachios, toasted crushed pistachios, and edible fowls on top.
