Anne
Robinson's dinner party secrets
Anne
Robinson reveals that she has a butler and a passion for Welsh lamb
in an interview for the June issue of 成人快手 Good Food Magazine (on
sale Wednesday, 14 May) and also divulges that since being a child
she's been "well acquainted with French restaurants and top
class hotels".
Anne,
who recently upset the Welsh with her comments on Room 101, has
always had to watch her weight but that hasn't stopped her enjoying
frequent dinner parties at her Gloucestershire home. She says: "The
guest list hasn't changed much over the years, it's mainly lawyers,
journalists and writers. We've added the odd TV person - Jeremy
Clarkson is a friend now, he and Penrose (Anne's husband) get on
so well and he has got the best behaved children I've ever come
across. I'm more happy to invite political opponents now - David
Cameron (a local Tory MP) Michael Howard - I may not vote for their
party, but I'm interested in different views."
Anne
makes her comments in 成人快手 Good Food Magazine in light of her new
成人快手2 series Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in which she indulges her
celebrity guests with a fantasy dinner party where they choose the
venue, menu, and their fellow diners.
"It's fantastic to find a way to talk to people that doesn't
involve asking them about their next film or book聟I can't veto
the guests but I do sometimes put up an argument, for example I
questioned Michael Portillo's choice of Wagner as he was an anti-semite.
I also asked Les Dennis whether he was in any position to choose
women!
"I
picked Portillo because he's attractive, has a wonderful sense of
humour and is a scholar. Delia's got two nuns on her list! I've
cooked for Delia, you know. She's the easiest guest to have and
her husband Michael Wynn Jones makes the gravy - she says he makes
much better gravy than her."
Though
Anne presented The Weakest Link in America and has been offered
a new quiz show in the U.S. she still favours London restaurants
such as Bibendum (co-owned by top chef and close friend Simon Hopkinson),
The Caprice, Assaggi in West London, The Ivy and locally, The Village
Pub in Barnsley, Gloucestershire.
成人快手2's
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner starts on the 12th May at 10pm and
runs for 10 weeks.
