Judi Love is one of five born to her Jamaican parents in Hackney, East London. Always the funny one in the family, she gained a Masters in social work before kicking off her career in stand-up. In 2011, she made her professional debut with a show named after her motto in life, Laughter Is Healing. Since then, Judi’s comedy and culinary skills have given rise to a broadcasting career. She is a much-loved regular on Loose Women and won the Celebrity MasterChef, Christmas Cook Off in 2021. Judi is here to talk about her new show, Judi Love’s Culinary Cruise, which is available now on ITVX.
Nick mixes a non-alcoholic picante for Judi, while she enjoys some plantain crisps with homemade guacamole to start. Angela prepares some delicious Korean crispy spiced chicken with gochujang mayo and a charred smashed cucumber salad. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a De Grendel Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa.

It's Judi's side-eye as Angela was talking 😂😂😂!!!
As I am watching this… I JUST ate TWO McRib sandwiches!!
Stumbled upon this while on my maternity leave. Once I start one episode, I can't seem to stop. I'm from the Philippines, by the way. I enjoy Ange's laugh. Nick is so fun. I even barely know their guests sometimes, but I'm hooked!
I love comedians they are bringing life to life, great episode❤
Panko is made from a crustless bread cooked by passing an electrical current through the dough⚡️
I haven’t laughed so much in ages! Judi is a brilliant guest, her love of food and ingredients shines through.
Judi loves nuts… Cassshews ❤😂
Judi is an amazing entertainer and she needs too carry on until she’s grey and old
As a Jamaican lady myself, Judi is a breath of fresh air and hilarious!!💛💛💛

I love Waitrose 🤣 and I love this podcast. Nick and Angela are amazing! I am not British, but live in England, and I find this podcast useful to understand the British culture and jokes, improve my English too 🤣 thank you, Dish and Waitrose, for this! I never heard of this guest before, but she is delightful! Very funny and energetic!
I literally jumped up and down when she was talking about scotch bonnet jam, I love scotch bonnets 👏🤤
For Judy's sake I hope they've taken the hairs off them wings 😂😂😂
This show is so good, fresh and funny. Love it !!

I absolutely love Judi Love. She is so smart and so funny. A great guest. I love this podcast too.
Wow i learned a new way to eat my breadfruit 😮
“My Hackney roots are coming out in me – I just gonna take the bag anyway” 😂❤😂 Brilliant, Judy Nick & Ange! ❤❤❤
Isn't a male chicken a rooster?
So fabulous.
'Korean' chicken actually comes from African-Americans. They taught them.
What a wonderful format. Half the guest I haven't even heard of but loved finding out about them and food. As for Judy she was wonderful. Like me a Hackney girl, and like me I would have just taken the bag…Nick and Angela great combo.
Dish needs a Mediterranean Cruise Season!!!!
