00:00I didn't see the ladder, I just wasn't sure if it was like a prop I could use.
00:18Hey Vogue, I'm Dua Lipa and today I'm going to cook a roasted sea bass on potatoes.
00:25Quick, easy, simple, perfect for lunch, dinner, whatever. Drink first, obviously.
00:33I'm making a Negroni, it's equal parts gin. Oh, I should have put ice in it. There you go.
00:42Campari and vermouth.
00:45A little mix. I just love an Negroni. Some people find it quite medicinal, but maybe it's my medicine, baby.
01:00Bloody hell, that's strong.
01:04Now I'm going to cook even better. All right, perfect.
01:08So now drink's done. I feel like any time I cook it's kind of like cowboy style,
01:13it's whatever's in the fridge and I just pull things out.
01:16But today is a dish that I make really, really often.
01:20On the ingredients list today is potatoes, obviously, garlic, anchovies,
01:26kalamata olives, capers, tomatoes, bit of rosemary, bit of basil.
01:31I like to mix it up and then salt, pepper, chili flakes, olive oil. That's it.
01:37After I've washed my potatoes, I keep it really simple. I just cut them into discs.
01:46I'll pop all these in the tray, just like that.
01:51And then I'll separate them so they have some space in there.
01:56And the potatoes kind of go in first because they need a bit more cooking time than the fish.
02:00So I'll pop the potatoes in for like 30 minutes. And that's kind of all I do for a little bit,
02:12but I'll take out the fish. Okay, I'll cut this open just a bit more.
02:17I like to put some garlic and bits in there.
02:21So I'm just going to put salt on the inside of the fish and on the outside so that the skin crisps up.
02:26Winding down after a show, it always takes me a second because the adrenaline,
02:35the adrenaline is so intense. It takes me a second to kind of calm down from all the excitement from
02:39the show. If it's not just sitting in my dressing room for a little bit with friends, family, then
02:45I'd probably head back to the hotel and run myself an Epsom bath, take a bunch of magnesium and go to bed.
02:56That's a whole clove of garlic that will just cook in there with the fish.
03:00These I'll smash up and then I'll put in with the potatoes later. I like to leave a lot of these
03:05just skin on because they, they roast really nicely and they become all soft and gooey.
03:12So I'll put those on the side there and then we can chuck up some tomatoes.
03:17The shows night after night are so rewarding. That's my favorite part about tour. I also love
03:23traveling and exploring new places and going to different restaurants and trying new food and
03:28museums and galleries and just meeting new people. That's, that's my favorite part about touring.
03:33The hardest part is being away from home. That's the thing that I miss the most.
03:38Whenever I'm home, it's dinner parties. That's why I like Christmas and that kind of period so much because
03:45everyone's at home, you can make plans with everyone, come over. To be honest, the last time I got a little
03:50bit flustered was this Christmas when, um, Ruthie Rogers, renowned chef, decides to pop over for Christmas
04:00and I'm just about to put the potatoes in the oven and my pan that I bought that I was really proud of
04:05didn't fit in my oven. And so everyone in my family was basically trying to talk to Ruthie to distract
04:11her from the fact that I was just trying to shove in this massive tray. But it all worked out. I did
04:16impress her in the end. I'm really lucky because my family are the people closest to me. They're my best
04:24friends and I love the, I don't know, the fact that we can travel the world together, have these amazing
04:29experiences and my siblings, you know, I just, I like hanging out with them all the time. My sister Rena,
04:34she couldn't come down to Australia this time. She was on her own adventure and I think me and my little
04:40brother Jin really missed her this time around. We missed our drinking buddy. Negroni's just didn't
04:45taste the same without her. People do really love to joke about the fact that I'm always on holiday.
04:50I'm not always on holiday. I just make everything I do feel like a holiday. So I think the way it looks
04:56probably on Instagram is like, oh, she's traveling again, which is true because I am traveling, but I
05:01am touring. And so when I'm touring, I'm like, all right, I'm going to go and try this restaurant.
05:05I'm going to go out and try this bar. I want to try this drink. I want to try this sandwich. I want to
05:09meet this person. I want to go to this museum. So I totally get where that's come from and I'm okay
05:14with it. And then whenever anybody goes to places, pretty much anywhere in the world,
05:18they can ask me and be like, Hey, do you know a restaurant or a sandwich spot or a good bar
05:25or something to see and do in the city? And more oftentimes than not, I'll have like
05:30the most extensive list of all time and you'll have a great time. I'm going to check on the potatoes
05:35quickly. Yeah. They're looking, they're starting to soften a little bit. So I think I can,
05:39I can pop the fish and the other bits on top, the screaming potatoes, the garlic as it is. And then
05:49I'm going to pop the fish just like that on top. Very cute. Capers, the olives, and then a few of these
06:02anchovies. That extra bit of saltiness on the potatoes. Do a bit of this rosemary.
06:13Okay. And then I just pop that all back in.
06:17So I'm going to now get you all drunk with me. I'm going to make a jug of Negroni.
06:23So we'll just go with maybe, I don't know.
06:41Got one for you. All right. Cheers.
06:44Cheers. Cheers, cheers, cheers.
06:51Another piece of ice and it does kind of level out.
06:54I think London is, I don't know, makes up so much of who I am. It's definitely influenced
07:01my style and there always being a toughness, even to the femininity in everything that I
07:06wear. I also feel like musically, there's just like a kind of stomp to it. There's just like,
07:13I don't know, a rawness to the beauty of London. And I think I like to try and include that in
07:20a lot of the things that I do. I like the juxtaposition. I like kind of the hardness with
07:26the pretty things. What London has that no other city has is the abundance of amazing parks that we
07:33have all over the city. I just love it. I think there's just amazing walks and it's so nice to
07:38be in nature and it's so peaceful and it takes you away from like the bustling city. And I feel like
07:43not very many cities have that just on your doorstep really. I'm going to just check on this fish and
07:49these potatoes. Oh my God, it's looking so good and it smells so good. Sexy mittens to go with my luck.
07:55Piping hot. I mean, I feel like it's not bad. And it smells so good and fresh and delicious.
08:09That's looking good. Okay. So while I wait for that to cool down,
08:12I'm going to make, let me just finish this.
08:17One more drink.
08:18Party drink of any kind. Just handling my drink really well. Not looking that drunk when I'm
08:30that drunk. Favorite thing that Cal cooks for me? Well, I guess we have this thing called Cal's
08:36calf and that's breakfast because he does that really well. So you're going to get the crumpet with
08:42the butter and the Marmite and the eggs and bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, whatever.
08:52Cal's calf, 10 out of 10 experience. That's my favorite thing. I think both me and Callum would
08:57say that I'm the best chef, but he's sous chef. Like he helps me around the kitchen all the time.
09:03So we would make everything together, but I think I would take the lead. It looks really good.
09:08All right. I'll check if it's poisonous then first.
09:19Yeah, that's banging. It's really good. It's just so simple and easy. And I feel like anyone can do
09:25this. You literally have to just throw everything in a tray and roast it.
09:30Mmm. And the skin on I think is really, it just adds to the crispiness. Not bad. My favorite meme of
09:42myself. There's only one. Really good one. There's me doing that. Dance. And do you know what? That is
09:51the dance that people do when you have a good bite. You know when you just like eat something delicious,
09:56then you start dancing and going like. Mmm. Mmm. This is so good. That's what that is. So actually
10:02that works perfectly for this interview. I thought it was a bit of a rogue one, but that's a good
10:07question and it works. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Thank you so much for having me Vogue. I am
10:15perfectly full and perfectly drunk now. So I hope you enjoy this video and you too
10:20will be perfectly full and perfectly drunk.
