Nick and Angela welcome a BAFTA-nominated actor, writer and comedian to DISH HQ.
Rose Matafeo was born in Auckland and began doing stand-up at 15. She moved to the UK in 2015 and three years later her debut show Horndog won the Best Comedy show award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Having conquered the stage, Rose turned her attention to TV writing and, while on a long-haul flight, created the super successful Starstruck with her best friend Alice Snedden. You can watch all three series now on BBC iPlayer.
To celebrate the new Waitrose Japanese Menyū range, Angela prepares a delicious Japanese-inspired meal of edamame with chilli and garlic salt, followed by a recipe by chef, Yuki Gomi, marmalade pork belly with soy and ginger served on steam buns with a shredded quick pickled salad. Nick mixes a mizuwari, a Japanese whisky cocktail to open proceedings and Rose has an Asahi with her meal.
Rose entertains Nick and Angela with stories of childhood dinners in New Zealand and her passion for rom coms. And we find out why fellow comedian and friend, Nish Kumar, may be off her Christmas card list.
