One kiss is all it takes, possibilities. I love that song, I love all her songs. Mum. What darling? We've got one of the biggest stars we've ever had on Table Manners tonight. So excited. She has something like 40 million followers on Instagram. Christ.

She's brilliant. I love her. I love her. I love her songs. So, Mum, we've got a remote, special circumstances, table manners with Dua Lipa. How do you feel about that? Don't pick up your phone. You know he's only calling because he's drunk and alone.

Two, don't let him in. You'll have to kick him out. Don't be his friend. I got new rules. No, I prefer one kiss. Mum, that's your like song for Corona, isn't it? Yeah. Don't let them in.

Yeah. Drink some more drinks. Don't pick up the phone. That's me. How are you, mum? I saw you this morning. Yeah. Jessie, could you imagine me coming to your house

and not bringing the food that you promised to bring? I know. Could you even contemplate that? I think I am abusing the fact that your neighbours, Georgie and Damien, are amazing. My neighbours? Thanks for the kindness of strangers. That's all I can say. I'm Blanche Dubois. Oh, God. I'm really sorry. Sorry, I was just pulling a bit of tender stem out my bloody tooth we got the most amazing um food box delivery from Smith and Brooks apparently we got like on this one of these whatsapp groups that's going around in South London and they're wholesalers

and they can't um stock to restaurants so they've done these kind of boxes for people and Sam went for the gourmet ones so today for lunch I had like this radicchio leaf that looked like a pink flower rose have you ever had it it was like called castello something anyway it was gorgeous I had it with Sicilian oranges and then I didn't have any uh's juice. I had it with Brie and it was fantastic. But yeah, I'm really sorry that I didn't bring your eggs because I did actually buy them for you. You didn't bring me bugger all. I know, I'm sorry. I'm running out of meat.

You promised me lamb chops as well. I'm going to get you. No, mum, I'm getting you lamb chops. So it's 6pm. It's Wednesday. We're in lockdown. My daughter's sitting on my lap because this is the perfect time to try and host a international superstar when it's bath time and bedtime. Yeah, my daughter's nodding. She just needs to be in on the action. And we're about

to have Dua Lipa dial in. And that's what's going on. And my mum gets to see her granddaughter, although we did see each other today blowing kisses you gonna blow kiss Oh blow raspberries blow kisses cheeky oh someone's dialing in right I can see us I'm not sure she looks well confused hi doer thanks for dialing in thanks for having me I love that we were like um we were like right can do a leaper do it and we miraculously got a message back saying yes and we were like, right, can Dua Lipa do it? And we miraculously got a message back saying yes. And we were like, oh, fuck. Okay, great. Amazing.

And then we were like, right, okay, well, this situation is it's a bit changed. The podcast, usually we have you over at my mum's or mine. But obviously, Corona has stopped this happening. So we were like, you have to have a meal ready and a drink. Because we had Grumy on last week. And he was like, yeah, dinner's not ready yet. So we were like, no, that have a meal ready and a drink because we had Grumy on last week and he was like, yeah, dinner's not ready yet. So we were like, no, that's not how it works, babe. So anyway, anyway, bless you.

We just dialed in. It's all a bit of a kerfuffle to get in. And then I've just seen like your, your plate of food is there ready. Bless you. Yeah, I came ready prepared. It was like put in my diary because I had like a day of promo and it was like make food for Jessie Ware's podcast. I was like, okay. So I'm ready.

I'm prepared. I have everything. What have you made? Well, I made like, it's like impossible burger. No, beyond burger meat. Are you a vegan doer? No, I'm not. um I really like it and so it's kind of like instead of like ground beef with vegetables and mashed potatoes are you a cook

are you a bit of a chef um I can cook I don't really see myself as a as a bit of a chef I just like to do it it's just fun I don't ever do anything with measurements or anything it's just kind of making up as I go along trying it tasting it and just being like all right this is perfect I guess it's been a bit of a weird week because the album leaked which is a fucking pain in the ass yeah it's been an emotional roller coaster you know some things just come at you thick and fast sometimes I think it's such sod's law and hopefully somebody's getting sacked or whatever somebody's getting killed but like I mean it's I don't know I don't understand also it's just shitty you do all this work and then that happens however I don't look I don't think it's going to affect you too much hopefully I don't think so I feel like you're going to be

all right yeah I don't really know what what kind of happens but it is what it is and for me I'm just like fuck it you know people just get to hear it sooner if they want to hear it if they want to wait and stream it on their streaming services cool like that's kind of that's the only way I can see it and I really just kind of made this album because everybody was like oh second album like that's a really scary one. And there was so much pressure with it that I just wanted to basically make something that took me away from that, that took away that anxiety. And it's something that I just made just to have fun with.

So I hope that, you know, now I was also toying with the idea of whether to put it out at this time at all. And I guess, you know, some things just happen for a reason. And I think people, you know, maybe need it now more than ever at all and I guess you know some things just happen for a reason and I think people you know maybe need it now more than ever yeah I hear you everyone needs a bit of disco and pop and fun yeah absolutely man yeah um so listen lockdowns happened you're I thought you lived in New York oh my god am I wrong I I me and my boyfriend have a flat there, but because I was meant to go on tour at the end of April, we were like meant to like not carry on our lease basically. And we were meant to go back to New York.

And then that kind of got obviously canceled because of the travel ban. So we still have a flat there, but I haven't been in a little while. And I haven't been able to get there to move my shit out. Oh shit. Dewey, your nails look gorgeous. When did you last have them done? I'm very worried about all of this. I'm really worried about this.

This situation is not good. If my nail bar goes, I'm going. That's terrible. I need to figure out how to take gels off safely being in quarantine. Just put them in acetone. I know, but my nails, i need gel on them to keep i know strong you can get a uv light on amazon and gel nails you can do it yourself but would you say that's essential shopping mom it is essential to me darling i'm gonna have no nails

gray and fat stop when we don't get to go and get our roots touched up, I really don't know what I'm going to do with this blonde. I've already got the stuff with the hairdressers going to go through it as I put it on. And it will be like death in Venice as the dark drips down my face. Oh, God. What's kind of the silliest thing that you've bought whilst doing the kind of mad, maybe you haven't stockpiled,

but like, you know, the mad dash going to the supermarket when you're like I must get this like this is essential and then you come back and you're like I didn't need that at all um oh my god have you been really sensible I'm trying to look around my kitchen and see I mean I have like four different hot sauces that maybe I was just like end of the world must have but I other than that I think we've been quite good you've been really sensible doer we've been I think we've been quite good have you been eating leftovers I have actually yeah tell me about your leftovers come on well actually the mashed potatoes I'm having for my dinner today were made yesterday good on you yeah right mum what are you having for dinner dinner today were made yesterday. Good on ya. Yeah.

Right, mum, what are you having for dinner? I've made a salmon and broccoli lasagna. All right. No big deal, mum. Very fancy. That's quite a big deal. Since you left, Jessie, I've got things with creaming, cheesing, meating. Are you vegan, Jessie? Am I?

Fuck, babe. I just like, my husband is. But the husband is oh he's a pain in the ass with the vegan protein powder it's a fucking pain the end of the world's coming hasn't he decided that it's okay to well it's funny that mom because i made him lamb stew and and then we had leftovers and it tastes even better the next day and also my friend had corona down the road because we're in a rental because we moved out to make sure mum was okay because my house we were supposed to move into my house tomorrow but removal men aren't working so we have nothing there so whatever it doesn't matter

it's fine um so we're in this rental and my mate had corona down the road and like he's single and so I was like babe like we really should give him that crumble. It was like Mother's Day. It was a crumble. And I was like, come on, let's give him the crumble. We don't need the fucking crumble for six people. Like, it's fine. He was like, fine. And then I made this lamb stew. I said, babe, we should really give him some.

And he was just like so pissed off that I was giving him our like leftovers. Anyway, Sam, Sam, Sam's loving the lamb stew. Sam was loving the chicken roast. Sam's asking what's next on like the carnivore menu so like mr vegan vegetarian is like gone out the window falling at night oh absolutely man um but okay so i have i just i well i've got leftovers where i did that otolenghi trick of roasting vegetables and then putting lime juice and lime zest on at the end with feta and it's lovely um and it's just really easy so i've got that from yesterday and then I've just we got this

amazing veg delivery box from these wholesalers that usually send to restaurants so we signed up for a delivery and we got Sam chose the gourmet one so like we've been having the most ridiculous kind of I mean I feel like I'm eating out every day um so I've just done cavolo nero with some kale shallots I've put wine in everything I'm drunk the whole time so there's wine in there and lemon lemon juice dijon salt pepper olive oil and then because I just did kids bedtime and food cod like cod fish cakes so it's a complete shit mix it's not gourmet at all it's a bit of a shit mix it's like it's a bit of everything oh wow so I want to know about growing up were you born in Albania no I was born in London okay North London Northwest London girl yeah in Camden well I was

born St Mary's Hospital in Baker Street but my parents lived in Finchley Road so northwest London. Swiss Cottage those are kind of like that's my like area where I grew up and then. Which school? I went to Fitzjohn's primary school and then I went to Parliament Hill for secondary school. So I want to know growing up in northwest London what were you eating being Albanian? Are both your parents Albanian? Yeah both my parents are albanian and i mean you know when when i was living in london first to begin with with my parents because then when i was 11 i moved to kosovo with my family and then when i was 15 i moved back to london on my own so when i was living with my mum obviously at a young age my mum would always cook at home and we would either have like just you know whatever like

protein and vegetables and meats and you know all that kind of stuff or like my mum would make something traditional which would be pita which is like a spinach and cheese pastry which is so delicious which is something that I always crave after I come back from tour or I haven't seen my mum in really long and she's like what do you want me to make and I'm like pita um and that's always really delicious or she makes sarma which is like ground beef and rice in vine leaves oh so it's like greek food a bit it's it's very similar so a lot of Balkan food has a lot of similarities in it or it's like stuffed peppers with again, like meat and rice and that kind of stuff is very quite like wholesome and

hearty food. But did you like, so we've been asking everybody on this series. Well, for the last few, um, what was your lunchbox like? My lunchbox?

Um, did it have like, were you, were you one where your mum used to do embarrassing sandwiches that were soggy and you'd be embarrassed to get them out i mean sometimes my tuna mayo sandwiches would always go really soggy miserable miserable tuna mayo would always go really soggy but then i'd always always also really want like a nutella sandwich that would always be in my pack like nutella like nutella you'd get a nutella sandwich yeah did your mum let you Nutella sandwiches and a fucking penguin too oh my god she's a mum after my own heart I know it was

Jessie won't be doing any of that her children are crying now times have changed so much but I remember when it was like healthy food day or something and I'd always forget to get the memo and the teachers would like come to give the best prize for who has the healthiest lunchbox oh my god so every time I'd fucking open up my lunchbox it would just be like hula hoops a penguin and a Nutella sandwich I'd lose every time I bet you ate all your food your all your lunch though didn't you oh I loved it it was great it was it was something to look forward to which Disney princess or hero did you have on your lunchbox or were you a my little pony kind of girl um I can't really remember what I had on my lunchbox I mean sometimes I just put it in a backpack but so I can't really

remember I had lunchboxes I had maybe two but I really can't I actually can't I had teenage mutant ninja turtles but you're younger than me how old are you I'm 24 oh fuck you you're so young you're so young and so successful it's only about two years since she opened her lunchbox and I still can't bloody remember what was on it but I feel like I had like um I I did have this like jean it was almost like a JD sports bag you know the ones with a drawstring on them but it was just like a jean bag like that which I had like pinned cool d on it and um that's where I put my food a lot of the time no wonder your sandwiches are a bit soggy because they're all sinking to the bottom there was no you know structure in there and the penguin digging into it every time um so do you call it pide not pide pita the pita is it kind of what

you'd call spanakopita in Greece uh I think that I think they're probably really similar yeah okay and why did you move to Kosovo when you were fit was it I was no I was 11 yeah I moved back to Kosovo because you know when the war happened in Kosovo and my parents moved to the UK they had every intention of going back you know right so they you know they they stayed and they worked in London and they did everything they had to do things just obviously um lasted a lot longer than they'd hurt because my grandmother's uh Bosnian on my mum's side and so they kind of went through the war in Bosnia my parents together and then the one in Kosovo and then moved to London um so it was just um you know my dad got a job after he'd kind of finished his uni and in London got a job that he uh wanted to do which was back

in Pristina which was kind of doing marketing and advertising in Kosovo for like a telecommunications agency called IPCO which is like a Slovenian telecom thing anyway my dad did that went and did like the marketing for them and then worked for them for like a few years and then opened up his own like advertising agency in kosovo so we were just like we lived in kosovo i went to school there i kind of just because albania was like my first language um and i always spoke at home i learned english in school i always felt really confident at the idea of, you know, going back to Kosovo. And I felt like I could like really pick up where, you know, with the Albanian that I knew. But I kind of went in as the new girl, as somebody who could speak Albanian with an English accent. English accent somehow I just kind of picked up just like little bits and you know had to kind of go in and learn science and maths and you know in Albanian in Albanian yeah so from what I was kind of speaking at home which I thought I knew really well it was clearly you know I had a lot

of learning to do and a lot of like grammar to learn and learning to properly read and write in the language too is is I had a lot to kind of pick up in the first couple of years that I was there but then you came back here yeah at 15 on your own yes that's so brave was that to pursue music yeah that was because I wanted to do music I you know when I was in Kosovo I I loved to do like I was always doing music when I was living in London before I went to Kosovo but it was when I went to Kosovo that I realized I didn't really have the opportunities that I would have, you know, in London. And I guess I was lucky that my parents had moved to London. And then I also had a British passport and I was born in London.

So I was like a British citizen and had the opportunity to come back to London and like do music and do my GCSEs at the same time and but what did food entail then as a 15 year old who's come back who's living on there or living with a family or whatever I was living with a family friend so it was like one of my parents friends daughters were studying from Kosovo moved to London to go to London School of Economics and do a degree. And because my parents knew her parents, I went in and started living with her. So she was basically like a, what, like a young woman. She was a teenager? No, she, I guess she was like in her twenties. Oh my God. So then you two are just living together. I want to know what you were eating.

She had like her own life. Her boyfriend was still living in Kosovo so she had like this whole dramatic situation going on she didn't care about anything that I was doing so I just had friends over the whole time and I mean food wise it was like pastas it was sometimes I'd like bake a, pot noodles, that kind of shit. Yeah. Did you feel like you must have grown up very quickly then, eh? Like living in the... I know that London was where you were born and you knew it, but having that kind of independence at such a young age.

Were you going to a performing arts school or something? No, I was just going to a normal... Oh arts school or something was no I was just going to a normal you went to Parliament Hill yeah Parliament Hill yeah just um yeah I did that you're really brave did my GCSEs but my friends like they became my family so my best friends like Sarah and Ella who were like the first two girls to talk to me when I first went to Parley they were like the first two girls to come and say hi and be like, hey, like we know you're new, come and have like food with us. And I'd spend my lunches with them. And I kind of never really let go of them.

My mom would come and visit as often as she could from Kosovo. But any other time, like Ella and Sarah's like family really kind of took me in. Like I would go and spend Christmas with Ella and like we would just kind of stay at home and whenever I would like feel lonely they'd come and stay the night so my bond with you know my friends we've just been really close and they're my family really where do your parents live now my parents live in London so when I um they they moved back I guess five years ago now I guess when I kind of started touring and traveling and and being away so much I think my parents wanted to be really close to where I am and my little brother and sister Rina and Jin came back to London and then carried on their school and stuff so we they they just kind of moved so we could all be close together.

I guess everyone thought that I was just going to go to uni after school. But I wanted to take like a gap year, which then I kind of found my manager, Ben, and I just kept going to the studio. And things just kind of happened one thing after the other. going to the studio and things just kind of happened one thing after the other I never really expected it to go kind of as as quickly as it did but I never ended up going back to university and so my parents then moved to to London. If you hadn't done so brilliantly well at music what would you have done? I'd probably still be trying if I'm really honest okay so music is just the be all and end all yeah it was it it really is everything to me and it's like the thing that makes me the happiest and so that's that's the only thing I really wanted to do can I ask you we ask everybody what their last supper would be

so involves a starter a a main, a pudding, and a drink of choice. Does it all have to like go together? No, not really. No, God no. No, no, no. Fuck, starter. Last meal.

Okay, starter would probably be like burrata with like tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and lots of bread. If this is the last meal i'm gonna go in yeah and then i don't know i'm kind of torn between whether i would do like a really good fish and chips as my main from like the seashell on listen grove oh i love that which is so banging that's like my favorite fish and chip shop ever. What do you order there? Just fish and chips?

Yeah. Cod and chips. Cod and chips, mushy peas, pickle, lots of tartar sauce, douse it in vinegar and salt. Yeah. That's the vibe. Or. Gorgeous. I'd get a good Caribbean jerk chicken, chicken rice and peas festival course law where would

you get it from is there a particular place that you like there's a really good uh place just on delivery called one stop which is banging it's just like a really um are they still open i do know i haven't checked babe i'm on i i thought I was like now's the time for me just to like make everything myself I know did you buy lentils I did buy lentils and beans ones that you're never gonna soak or did you get canned well actually they're canned so they're soaked already that's all right smart I'm so bored of lentils already I'm so fucking bored of them honestly I was like what do I make I mean you know whatever it's it's it's it's fine we're okay we're fine um so okay so

so jerk um and then pud what's pud uh sticky toffee pudding everyone says that it's so good though why would like what's your favorite what you say? I actually need to hear what your final, like last meals would be. Jessie's is, well, I think we're almost similar. So because we're Jewish, we love chicken soup. Okay. Jewish chicken soup with matzo balls. I love roast dinners, any roast dinner I love.

And then we both love, we're almost the same. We both love trifle, don't we? Love trifle and tiramisu. I don't know if i found my perfect tiramisu yet there was one in stretton that was really good but like yeah tiramisu is fantastic i like anything i like i really like trifle and actually a really good roast dinner yeah roast dinners are great do you know where they do a really amazing roast dinner where Where? There's this pub called the Law of the Land in Fitzrovia. It's like... I've never heard of this.

It's like Guy Ritchie's pub that he's just opened. Oh! And the lamb roast there is so... Jessie, we're going! Banging is the only way to describe it. It's so good. They do like a 72-hour like cooked like cooked lamb with sauce and all the goods it's delicious that's a really really good one you have to go

when you get to be in new york do you i love new york food i feel like it's got such a good restaurant scene because everyone just eats out, don't they? So where are some of your favorite spots in New York? There's this really good little Japanese comfort food spot in New York called Besu. It's on Bleecker Street. I think it's kind of new. I'm not sure, but they do amazing.

Just like the food is so good. And then again, another Japanese spot I mean this is like a small four seat like omakase outside um called sushi on jones which me and my boyfriend always go to that's like our little like hole in the wall date spot with the best sushi ever um which is really good and that's um kind of opposite the bowery on like jones street and like a little corner um what else is really oh lilia in brooklyn have you been i don't know this place no oh the fucking pasta sorry I'm sorry oh my god no you haven't listened to this podcast we swear babe don't worry okay okay good um the pasta is so good they do these amazing also they do these amazing like cacio pepe balls and they're these deep fried balls which you open up and they have like parmesan and cracked pepper it's just like the cacio pepper flavoring in the

balls like an arancini cacio pepper yeah but it's hollow and just melts in your anyway it's so it's like a cacio pepper kiev it's so good kind of yeah yeah oh it's so so good. Sounds fab. And then, I mean, the pastas are to die for. They have like amazing like agnolotti and really good. That's a really good spot. I'm trying to think what else do I really love in New York. The blue cheese burger at Spotted Pig with the shoestring fries is very good. Oh yeah, that sounds heaven. Blue cheese burger.

Oh yeah, and they do these really thin french fries like really thin they're like shoestring and you just oh they're delicious to die for heaven um so why did you why did you choose new york over la because i kind of i'm interested i really like that you chose new york because i feel like every bugger goes to la don't yeah i just love i love new york i love the energy of it I love the people I love the food it feels like London just a little bit more hectic um I've always felt like really at home every time like especially when I first started writing there were still a couple producers left in New York yeah before everybody left for LA and I just had such like, such a great time there.

And I really think the food brought me back. Because now when I think about it, I went for these amazing soup dumplings in this place called Shanghai Cafe, New York on Mott Street. And I think they just kept having me coming back. And that was just something that I had to come back for. There's just so many good spots. I wanted to know, do you have anything particularly interesting on your rider? Or are you quite straightforward on the old rider? Quite straightforward. Food-wise? Snacks. like interesting on your rider are you quite straightforward on the old rider um quite food forward snacks i like to have i like a pez oh that is not that straightforward actually

i like to have a pez from every different like city i'm in so when I'm touring I get like all these bloody weird pezzes and how are your teeth uh all right so far I do brush well but yeah other than that it's quite straightforward um I like like a I know I've spoken about hot sauce before but I like a local hot sauce a pez and then different like crisps and that kind of stuff I think that's good but I've always been I'm so neurotic but I'm like hot um acid um heat on the on the vocal cords but you're just like nah fuck it I'm gonna have some hot sauce and pez oh yeah sometimes I'm careful about it but sometimes I'm okay I try I don't do dairy when I'm singing okay I also stop drinking and I don't smoke either so when I'm touring okay fair enough well yeah you're pretty you can have a bit of hot sauce fine yeah and I

heard that John Legend apparently I don't know if this is totally wrong somebody told me that John Legend eats chicken wings before he sings because he likes how they coat his throat but I really need him to do the I really need him to do the podcast yes I can ask him that's crazy yes I couldn't imagine singing after using chicken wing chicken wings I know like if you've played in Austin and you go yeah I'll have that barbecue before uh you know before the show and then you're just like there's no way I would be able to move yeah exactly um so do you think you've got good table manners uh yeah i do i think so what do you think's the worst table manner in somebody else chewing with your mouth open yeah right yeah it's

about it's a that's a very common one oh my alarm's gone off why is that my akado alarm no it was my akado alarm that was four hours and I'm still, they're still, oh, they're saying your wait time is 10 minutes, Jessie. Oh my God. I've been waiting for my Ocado delivery to get even online five hours. Oh, it's crazy, isn't it? We tried to order online actually.
