| 0:03.8 | Well, I've got the perfect podcast for you. |
| 0:06.7 | Desert Island Dishes is a chart-topping podcast where every week I talk to a different guest about the seven dishes that have shaped their life. |
| 0:14.7 | And we find out what the last meal they'd choose to eat before being cast off the desert island would be. This is a show about |
| 0:22.4 | food, guaranteed to inspire you in the kitchen, but it's also a show about people and the stories |
