Our first episode back around the Christmas tree. Millie Bobby Brown is a British actor known for her role in the Netflix series Stranger Things. As the show begins its final season, we are joined by the star, who first appeared as her character Eleven back in 2016. The show is a certified cultural phenomenon, streamed by millions and making Millie a household name across the world. She currently lives on a farm in Georgia with her husband Jake Bongiovi (son of Jon Bon Jovi) and their many, many animals. We’ve never had a guest want to sit so quickly at the Dish table. Millie is a huge fan of the show, reflected in her carefully considered and curated list of likes. Angela is drawn to serving penne alla vodka, a dish which ties in with Millie’s first date with Jake, all preceded by a Shirley Temple and a bowl of raw carrots. The pasta is paired with a glass of Castello Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva, made from Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. We chat through a number of divisive food topics with Millie, including olives, quinoa, birthday cake and food photography, alongside reliving her incredible first dance at her wedding. There’s time to reflect on the beginnings and endings of Stranger Things, squeeze in a seasonal quiz all about festive movies and explore the thought process behind naming animals. Christmas is go!
