  • Asim Chaudhry - Bossman
    Jul 24 2024

    Director, Actor, Writer and Comedian Asim Chaudhry joins Andi and Miquita for lunch - and it’s a joyful, hilarious, sun-soaked, and perfect end to the series.

    Andi has concocted a slow cooked lamb belly with flageolet beans cooked in rum punch , a pickled fig and apple salad, with a butterbean and white corn puree. Miquita’s drink is a sensational lager, gin, and grapefruit cocktail. Asim talks about growing up in Hounslow, his passion for life behind the camera, and making ends meet before the phenomenal success of “People Just Do Nothing”. We also learn that the inspiration for Chabuddy G was found very close to home, the importance of family, his Grandmother’s special ‘Haleem’ dish, his 90s hip hop influenced Celebrity Mastermind subject, and why freestyling as an MC is actually rubbish.

  • Adjoa Andoh - That's Punk
    Jul 17 2024

    Actress Adjoa Andoh joins Andi and Miquita for lunch. She brings her friend, Producer and Creative Consultant, Adele Cross.

    It's a meal fit for a Lady Danbury. - an Andi special of a sweet potato and coconut dumpling, tamales, caramelised onions with prunes, with an oyster mushroom and an ackee puree. It's all washed down with Miquita's sake, white vermouth, cherries and vodka cocktail.

    The talk is of growing up in the Cotswolds countryside and finding new roots in London, falling in love with the clash, and the life lessons learned from punk; of re-examining history, and bringing the 'Sankofa' to Bridgerton. They also speak about the journeys of their respective parents to the UK, of "going back, to remember where you're from", and why home is always in the heart.

    Writer, Comedian, and Broadcaster Sandi Toksvig takes her place at Andi and Miquita's table today, and it's one of those rare Stirring It Up occasions where there are two extra guests. Sandi brings her wife, Therapist Debbie Toksvig, and Author and Journalist Catherine Mayer

    On the menu today is wild garlic grits, slow braised lamb, and plantain, and a toasted peanut slaw. Also on the menu is the story of Sandi and Debbie's meeting, being 'hit by lightening', (including why Debbie thought Sandi would be a 'f*****g nightmare'!), early days in comedy, why Catherine and Sandi founded the Women's Equality Party, and why it's still needed, going to war with Wikipedia, creating a digital, story-map of the world, the pain of press intrusion, the pleasure of becoming an elder, and much more. A real meeting of minds, and hearts.

  • Alison Steadman - Cocktails and Quizzes
    Jun 19 2024

    It's a special afternoon in the Oliver household, as Actress Alison Steadman joins Andi and Miquita for an afternoon gimlet, and three types of fish - red mullet, sea bream and mackerel, finished with tamarind butter and wild garlic oil. She brings her husband, Actor Michael Elwyn.

    High on the agenda is the business of acting - as you'd expect with two incredible thespians in attendance! Navigating self doubt and rejection, self taped auditions, acting as a couple during lockdown, the luxury of being able to pick and choose roles, the harsh reality of getting older as an actress ( and why it can get easier for Michael as a man), the joy of improv, and Alison's iconic roles that span three generations of audience, with roles in Abigail's Party, Shirley Valentine, Nuts In May, Gavin & Stacey are all discussed. Miquita also successfully manages to steer the conversation onto the joys of bird watching, to the 'delight' of Andi!
