Emilia Clarke’s dreams come true with our super greens vignole with lamb
6/3/202648 min
We welcome a Dish listener who’s been a fan since day one! There’s a whole lot of love around the Dish table as we welcome long-time listener, first-time visitor, Emilia Clarke. The actor, known for her incredible and life-changing role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones, brings her passion for food, Nick, Angela and martinis to a special episode marking the fourth anniversary of Dish. Emilia starts by showing why writing down your food likes when slightly hungover makes for a long and salty list. But what a list it is, as we get great detail about the fish, vegetables and meats that whet Emilia’s appetite, as well as the specific textures and ingredients that don’t make it onto her plate. Emilia is also a regular cook, who is willing to take on any challenge when making food for friends and family, or herself while away on set. Emilia can currently be seen in PONIES, a 70s spy thriller set in Russia, which is currently available to watch on Sky and Now in the UK and Ireland. Emilia and co-star Haley Lu Richardson play two women working at the US embassy in Moscow who, after the mysterious deaths of their husbands in a plane crash, become CIA agents to investigate what happened. The role came with Emilia having to master Russian, a skill which she did with the help of a very impressive memory palace. The episode begins over a glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Champagne and a start of tomato tonnato salad. It’s followed by rack of lamb, inspired by this recipe for super greens vignole with lamb steaks, and there’s even enough time for an elderflower & mint martini. The Waitrose wine experts paired the meal with a bottle of Villa Cafaggio Chianti Classico. Cheers Emilia... and happy fourth birthday to us, too!

At Waitrose, you know you're a food lover when the summer desserts you take to the park have juicier plot twists- Mm ... than your true crime book. Make it a summer to remember with our dreamy range of number one summer desserts, like the Alphonso mango dessert with a realistic crunchy shell filled with creamy mango mousse and zingy passion fruit curd in every bite, and the rich Madagascan vanilla ice cream rippled with tangy blackcurrant.
