We have a returning guest for you this week on our side dish in the form of the Gennaro Contaldo. Gennaro is one of the UK’s most loved chefs - widely known as the man who taught Jamie Oliver everything he knows about cooking and he's going to be sharing his Dream Dinner Party with us. Referred to as everyone’s favourite nonno – he’s written more than a dozen best selling Italian cookbooks including his latest one Cucina which is a cookbook of Italian classics that help you to spend less and eat better. It’s a simple philosophy – delicious hearty meals using accessible and affordable ingredients – encouraging an ethos of zero waste – meaning your budget is put to very good and delicious use.

The question is: who would you invite to your Dream Dinner Party and what would you serve them to eat?

Thank you so much for listening. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode of Desert Island Dishes or the Dream Dinner Party.
