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.

Broadcaster Vanessa Feltz joins Andi and Miquita, and becomes the first guest to have a dish named after them - a salted cod, steamed over curried fennel and onion, with green gazpacho.

Vanessa discusses growing up in "Swimming pool and chopped liver belt" of Jewish North London, a world of 70's dinner parties, and a neighbours including the likes of Cliff Richard, Frankie Vaughan and the Beverly Sisters. She also speaks about her route into radio, dating, writing her autobiography, interviewing Boris Johnson, motherhood and more. There's plenty of time to get into the many highs, and the heartbreak along the way to becoming one of the nation's best loved presenters.

Athlete Emily Campbell joins Miquita and Andi for a salt fish salad, pickled cucumber & jalapeño broth, sweet potato fritters, roast garlic oil, and seared wagyu beef - a huge menu because it's not every day you have an Olympian in the house!

The three of them discuss how Emily has become the most successful British Weightlifter of modern times, and her hopes for Paris 2024. Emily reflects on her route into weightlifting, the incredible support of her parents and a special teacher, and on the struggle for funding in the early days. There are also stories of growing up in Nottingham, finding your path, how random drug tests an play havoc with your love life, and - speaking of which - what *really* goes down in the Olympic Village when the games are over, and the fun begins!
