Good times with... Andi Oliver
Chef, broadcaster and food writer Andi Oliver lives in London with partner Garfield Hackett. She has a grown-up daughter, the presenter Miquita Oliver.
The last great film you saw…
Queen & Slim. It stars Jodie Turner-smith and Daniel Kaluuya as the leads, and they each give a stunning, enigmatic performance.
The film you could watch over
and over… The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine, two of my all-time favourite actors.
The podcast you loved… How To Fail With Elizabeth Day. She’s a magnificent interviewer. The podcast is thought-provoking and joyous!
The last box set you binged on… Harlots on BBC iplayer. It’s set in 18th-century London and has at its centre powerful, magnetic women.
Top of your TV planner this month… The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. It gives an insight into a world that’s rarely examined. The last album you loved…
Untitled (Black Is) by Sault. It’s just extraordinary. The one you want to hear…
I’m waiting on new music from Tyson Mcvey and Oscar Scheller. I’m a big fan of them both and together they are magical.
The book that inspired you…
The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Daré. When I finished it, I so missed Adunni, the main character, I wanted to start it all over again!
The best recommendation you received… Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, which my best friend gave to me for my birthday – I adored it.
The ticket you’d love to get your hands on… I’m hoping to see Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act The Musical.
