Dolly Alderton, Journalist, Writer & Host of The High Low Podcast

Margie's castaway this week is Dolly Alderton. I went round to her gorgeous flat on a rainy Monday morning and we just had a really lovely chinwag. Dolly is friendly, funny and super successful but also charmingly self-deprecating. We discuss a mutual love of all things Nigella, butter, bread and the joy of having a side of carbs when you’re already having carbs. Dolly has a complicated relationship with shortbread, which we explore as well as the idea of using food to make friends. I know I am no Kirsty Young and that desert island dishes has a long way to go before we reach the starry heights of desert island discs but I’m so enjoying doing this podcast and I hope you are enjoying listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please do leave a review and subscribe as it makes all the difference and really helps the podcast grow, which is brilliant!
