Nigel Slater hosts a biographical chat show exploring the lives and loves of celebrities through their experiences of food. Hollywood actress Thandie Newton is pleasantly surprised with messages from her mum and dad, who make her a native Cornish Pasty, and her best friend who rustles up an Oysters Rockefeller. Comic actor Ben Miller challenges Thandie and Nigel to make pancakes and an American breakfast. Thandie reveals how she once dated Brad Pitt, the ways in which learning how to kiss Tom Cruise killed all on-screen passion, how she was never asked out on a date before she was 16, and how her life has been a strange fusion of Cornwall and Zimbabwe.
