We served Sandi Toksvig her FAVOURITE food! | Dish Podcast | Waitrose

Sandi Toksvig OBE is a Danish-born comedian, broadcaster and writer. She spent her formative years travelling the world with her family, thanks to her father’s job as a foreign correspondent. Sandi has had a long and successful career in UK radio and television, which began in the eighties on kids TV. She is best known for presenting QI, taking over from Stephen Fry in 2016. She subsequently spent three years co-presenting The Great British Bake Off with Noel Fielding and Prue Leith. Sandi is a political activist and is one of the co-founders of the Women’s Equality Party. She has written more than 20 books and is here to talk about her latest novel, Friends of Dorothy. Sandi occasionally enjoys a drink, but today Nick pours a Days 0.0% alcohol free lager, while Angela prepares her favourite, roast duck legs with grapes. The experts at Waitrose suggest a Sorcova pinot noir, our first Romanian wine-pairing. This episode of Dish is as charming, witty and warm as Sandi Toksvig herself. She tells Nick and Angela about Danish culinary traditions, shares her (controversial) thoughts on cake and explains why she can often be found in a forest with a chainsaw.
