Description
The best gifts come with a story. The worst ones? Often an even better one.
In this episode of Gift List, Angela Scanlon sits down with Andi Oliver, celebrated chef and broadcaster, and her daughter Miquita Oliver, TV and radio presenter, who bring their own stories and plenty of laughs to the world of gifting.
Miquita revisits childhood favourites, from a magical toy theatre to tutus she shared with a friend, before revealing the unusual gift she created for Lily Allen. Andi, meanwhile, shares her suggestions for what to buy fellow chef Tom Kerridge. There’s also Miquita’s refreshingly honest take on receiving presents, and why her face doesn’t always deliver the reaction a gift-giver might be hoping for.
The iconic mother-daughter duo also give us a glimpse into Christmas at the Oliver household. With four cooks in the kitchen one year, Miquita decided to slip away and find somewhere else to eat. And beyond the festive chaos, Andi reflects on what it means to find her voice on mainstream television later in life, as an older woman whose perspective people want to hear. Her take on ageing? Delicious.
And with very different ideas about what makes the perfect present, Andi and Miquita put Angela’s gifting skills to the test, with a little surprise of her own along the way.
