Hi, I'm Margie and welcome to the Desert Island Dishes podcast. For any first time listeners,

this is the podcast where every week I ask my guests to choose their seven desert island dishes.

Now, these range from finding out about the first dish they learned to cook. We discover the best

dish they've ever eaten.

The very important question of discovering their favorite sandwich.

And of course, we find out about the last dish they would choose to eat

before being cast off to the desert island.

The answers are not only often delicious,

but the stories around the dishes are much more revealing

and intriguing than you might think. Don't forget to rate and review the podcast as it genuinely

really helps others to find out about the show, which is always good. And I'm not going to ask

you to leave me five stars, but it kind of goes without saying,

doesn't it? Insert, winky face here. So here in the UK, it's been a short week, a short but sweet

week, shall we say? Although actually, the bank holiday feels like a very long time ago,

or is that just me? I get really lovely messages from listeners of Desert Island Dishes,

and I can't tell you how much I love reading them.

I just love it, so thank you.

And there's an email address on the website,

www.w.deser Islanddishes.com.

And I've had a request for a new question,

which I will hopefully ask most of the guests.

But anyway, you'll hear it at the end of today's show.
