Shownotes

A one-pot wonder shared with a chart-topping star.

Marcus Mumford is an American-British singer, songwriter, musician and producer. He is best known as the lead singer of the award-winning English folk-rock band Mumford & Sons. Marcus took the train from his home in Devon to visit us for a chat about the band’s latest album, Prizefighter, and their headline show at BST Hyde Park on 4 July.

But before that, we take a closer look at some of Marcus’s favourite meals, including beef Wellington which, we find out, is a dish Angela is only going to master in exceptional circumstances. We hear about how Marcus and his wife, actor Carey Mulligan, have a small but mighty crop of fruit and veg at their Devon home, and how they like to entertain... at lunchtimes.

We also get the recipe for Marcus’s cauliflower salad that routinely impressed Taylor Swift, the origin story of his Oscar tattoos, and how he and the band have moved away from warm beer, chocolate and crisps in their dressing room.

Angela cooks Ravinder Bhogal’s Awadhi chicken pulao (waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/awadhi-chicken-pulao), served with naans, poppadoms and mango chutney. The suggested wine pairing is a bottle of Jackson Estate Sauvignon Blanc (waitrose.com/ecom/products/jackson-estate-sauv…), while Marcus enjoys a 0.0% Gin & tonic (waitrose.com/ecom/products/sipsmith-freeglider…).
