Marcus Mumford and his wife Carey Mulligan grow their own vegetables.

The Mumford and Sons singer and his actress spouse are committed to a sustainable lifestyle and they grow a variety of produce themselves that they eat for dinner.

When asked if he grows his own food, Marcus answered: "Yeah. We do runner beans, radishes and butternut squash. We eat a lot of squash. I love squash. It's the stuff that requires less maintenance. Because we'll go away for a while and come back and then there'll be radishes everywhere. And then we'll eat radishes only for a few weeks. But yeah, it's amazing what you can do with quite a small bit of soil. But I'm not very good at the admin bit. And summers, we're away. Like all summer. It's a full-time job."

Marcus - who shares two properties with Promising Young Woman star Carey, a 16th-century farmhouse in Devon and a London residence - loves to cook for guests at his home.

The I Will Wait singer says Taylor Swift is the most famous person he has cooked for and she absolutely loved his signature dish, a cauliflower salad.

Appearing on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett's Dish podcast, he said: "It's pretty good. We've got it pretty dialled at this point. Roasted but pretty much burnt cauliflower and then pine nuts, feta, on a spinach bed, and avocado. Then just balsamic and olive oil.

"Taylor Swift came and stayed and did some recording and loved it so much. We ate it almost every night in COVID. It was either that- or spicy broccoli salad. We just got into a vibe of just eating that. And she came towards the end of COVID, and we were still very much in our cauliflower era.

"She has since taken it away, she calls it the 'Mumford salad'."

Marcus is a proud foodie and he credits watching his mother Eleanor in the kitchen when he was a child for giving him his love of cooking and also his love of music.

He said: "Alll my memories of listening to music at home were in the kitchen with my mum. And that's how I really fell in love with music, actually. And watching her cook.

"I didn't realise how much I took in by osmosis - by just being around her. My brother didn't spend as much time in the kitchen and can't cook. And doesn't like to. I spent loads of time just in the kitchen. I would just hang out while she cooked. And we'd listen to music or talk or whatever. And she did all the cooking. So I love kitchens. They are like the heart of the household. I still think that and love it."
