Smooth or crunchy? | Fearne Cotton | Dish Podcast
Nick and Angela welcome a brilliant broadcaster to our very own happy place — Fearne Cotton!
Fearne’s career began at just 15 when she started presenting The Disney Club. Since then, she’s fronted everything from Diggit and Top of the Pops to The Xtra Factor and Radio 1’s Live Lounge. These days, she hosts Sounds of the 90s on BBC Radio 2.
Arguably though, Fearne is best known for her Happy Place podcast — and the wider Happy Place universe it’s inspired. The Happy Place Festival returns this summer in London and Cheshire with two weekends of talks, podcast recordings, and more. Festival and workshop tickets are available at happyplaceofficial.co.uk
Angela serves up plenty of happy plates in this episode: roast cauliflower with dates, spiced chickpeas, preserved lemons & green tahini with chicory salad, which is paired with a glass of No.1 Beaujolais Villages. Before the arrival of the main course, Fearne is handed a fiery lime margarita, which goes down a treat.
This week really feels like old friends catching up, as Fearne and Nick swap some of their more unexpected tales of pop star interviews — including making sushi with will.i.am and (yes, really) cooking fry-ups for Britney Spears. They also dig into Fearne’s take on veganism (or “veganity”), the time she bent her own food rules for Ludovico Einaudi, and why mushrooms still taste like tyre’s to her.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help. Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.
