Stranger things have happened… but kicking off Christmas with Millie Bobby Brown at the Dish table feels exactly right! Millie Bobby Brown became a global name at just 12 when she took on the role of Eleven in Stranger Things. With the final season on the horizon, she joins us fresh from life on her Georgia farm, where she lives with her husband Jake Bongiovi, their new baby daughter, and a rapidly growing collection of animals. With a firmly organised list of likes and dislikes in hand, Angela goes for a guaranteed hit: Penne alla vodka — the dish Millie and Jake ate on their very first date. Before that comes a bowl of raw baby carrots (her favourite snack) and a Shirley Temple, her go-to celebration drink… and with Christmas officially underway, she’s very much celebrating. The pasta is paired with a glass of Castello Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva. Millie is brilliantly honest about her food rules. Cake? Doesn’t care for it. Quinoa? Absolutely pointless. Food photos? A firm no. Edible cookie dough? Only in tiny, tiny portions. We also get some unintentionally excellent life advice from her mum and a glimpse of what comes next beyond Stranger Things.
