Simone Ashley, fennel, potato & gruyère gratin with charcuterie and a negroni

Born in London to South Indian parents, Simone packed her bags at just 16 and moved to LA to chase her dream of acting and modeling. After landing her breakout role in Sex Education in 2019, Simone quickly became a global superstar as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton. In 2023, she starred as Ariel's sister in Disney's The Little Mermaid, and later this year, she'll be taking the big screen by storm in the highly anticipated film F1, starring Brad Pitt. Right now, she's celebrating the release of her new rom-com, Picture This, streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
Nick's shaking up a classic negroni for Simone, while Angela prepares a fennel, potato & Gruyère gratin with charcuterie, paired perfectly with a Dourthe Roqueblanche sauvignon blanc.
As a self-confessed foodie, Simone shares her love for cheese, her mom's amazing South Indian curries, oh and...chicken nuggets! She also fills us in on what it was like working with Brad Pitt, and how her family and friends reacted to her rising fame.
