Dish Podcast is a weekly dinner party serving food lovers hilarious, unfiltered chat with celebrity guests along with foodie tips.

In the Kitchen with Damian: The staple item always in his pantry? A nice sourdough. He is learning to cook vegetarian for his daughter, usually a nice stuffed pepper or fried tofu, but admits he’s not the best at it so he bought her an air fryer. He has apple trees in his garden and his daughter Manon made an amazing apple crumble with their own apples! He also talked about the fiasco of cooking an octopus for his children.
Upcoming Projects: Damian revealed he recently visited the Imperial War Museum researching declassified weather reports for his upcoming role as British Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery in Pressure, now filming. You’ll be happy to know Damian is not a method actor, so he did not dig a fox hole in his garden or eat rations out of a tin. No Spam or powered milk for Damian! 😉
Bonus: Where does Damian display his Emmy and Golden Globe awards? Grouped together on a side coffee table.
The Radleys is currently in select US theaters, Video on Demand, and various streaming services like Amazon Video and AppleTV, and will be available on SkyTV/NOW in the UK on October 18, 2024.
