Jennifer Garner has her mind blown by a Yorkshire pudding! | Dish Podcast | Waitrose

Video Description

It’s our Mother’s Day special on Dish and to mark the occasion, we’re joined by award-winning actor and proud potato enthusiast, @jennifer.garner! Known for her roles in Alias, the cult rom-com 13 Going on 30, and more recently The Last Thing He Told Me, @jennifer.garner is also a mum of three, making her the perfect guest for the day. A self-confessed “serious mom cook”, her love of food has been shaped by her own mum’s influence, with “Pat’s brisket” still holding a special place in her heart. That passion has even led to her much-loved Pretend Cooking Show on Instagram, where Pat has made a few brilliant cameos over the years. With Mother’s Day around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with a proper roast? Angela serves tender roast beef with crispy golden hasselback potatoes and a bright chimichurri. There’s Yorkshire puddings too, a first for Jennifer, alongside blanched spring greens. To finish, the Waitrose wine experts pair it with a bottle of Doña Paula El Alto Single Vineyard Malbec. Between chats about bread rolls, big American salads and the return of her character Hannah in series two of The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple TV+, Jennifer shares a very fishy on-set story from 13 Going on 30, the Hollywood origins of her go-to roast potato method, and why she’ll always need a slice of pizza in her life. Oh, and Yorkshire… you’ve got a new fan.
