Summary

Can we take a moment for the Yorkshire puddings, too! We welcome Jennifer Garner to Dish for our Mother’s Day special, and the award-winning actor, known for her roles in Alias and the cult rom-com 13 Going on 30, is the perfect guest for such an occasion. Jennifer is a mum to three children and has a wonderful relationship with her mother, Pat, whose cooking helped shape Jennifer’s huge love of food. Jennifer has been pulling together meals on her Pretend Cooking Show (seen on Instagram) for years, with Pat making some great cameos along the way. No surprise, then, that she is very passionate about all the fine eats in life, like pizza, bread, roast chicken and big American salads. She sits down with us to chat about Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, a thriller, which can be seen now on Apple TV. The show is based on the hugely popular books of US author Laura Dave, and sees Jennifer in the lead role of Hannah, unravelling the mysterious disappearance of her husband. Angela pulls out all the stops for our Mother’s Day roast with an incredible meal of roast beef & hasselback potatoes with chimichurri alongside perfect Yorkshire puddings, which seem to catch Jennifer by surprise. The meal is paired by our Waitrose wine experts with a bottle of Dona Paula El Alto Single Vineyard Malbec. So, for anyone wondering how to treat your mum this year, look no further. And please do share the results! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.
