Dish

This weeks Dish is packed with laughter as Angela and Nick are joined by a man of many talents.

Peter Serafinowicz is an actor, director, comedian and screenwriter who came to Dish armed with one of our longest ever list of food likes and dislikes. Serafinowicz, born in Liverpool, has made a big impression on TV viewers this year with his role as property developer Johannes in Amandaland. Hes also the host of the Netflix gameshow Million Dollar Secret, where an undercover millionaire has to hide in plain sight.

Peters substantial acting and TV credits are equal to his food likes list, with roles on both sides of the Atlantic in Parks and Recreation, The Simpsons, Star Wars, The Tick and, most famously, The Peter Serafinowicz Show, packed full of sketch comedy. Hes an excellent impressionist and is starting to spend more time live on stage, touring the UK in 2024 with his character Brian Butterfield.

As ever, Angela hits the mark, serving Peter BLT pasta. The Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing it with Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz, while in this episode, Peter, Nick and Angela enjoy a glass of Equinox Kombucha.

The Dish table is all the richer for Peters humour, as the trio discuss his desire to be a pasta-shape designer, the fussiness of Come Dine with Me contestants and his love of mashed potato, all topped off with a great impression.

It’s the Dish Easter special and Nick and Angela are joined for dinner by JADE.

JADE is a singer/songwriter already making her mark as a solo artist. Born and raised in South Shields, JADE was part of the chart conquering girl group Little Mix, who were formed on The X Factor in 2011. Little Mix went on to release six studio albums and won a BRIT Award for British Group in 2021 before going on hiatus. JADE has since released her debut single Angel of my Dreams, followed up by the single FUFN, the video for which stars our very own Nick Grimshaw. 

JADE’s had a busy start to 2025 with a massive night at this year’s BRIT Awards, where she landed a huge performance and won her first BRIT as a solo artist. Alongside the release of her debut album, JADE is also due to perform at Glastonbury, with Nick and Angela hoping to be on the front row. 

She is also a huge fan of roasts. And we mean huge. 

Which is lucky because Angela has prepared two recipes by Paul Gamble; Roast lamb with boulangère-style vegetables and Chargrilled green vegetables with wild garlic salsa verde. This is accompanied by El Rayo Olarra Rioja Crianza. The conversation begins with a mojito, a cocktail making its Dish debut. 

This episode is the perfect Easter lunch, with JADE bringing her passion for roasts, gravy and potatoes while looking back at her first steps as a solo artist - including that big night at the BRITs. 

Side notes; 

Sadly the pistachio Easter egg mentioned by Nick was so popular it sold out! But we’re confident you will find an equally moreish alternative in store or online.

On Dish this week, Nick and Angela welcome a Grammy Award winning musician to the table.

Gregory Porter is a much-loved jazz and soul singer who lives in Bakersfield, California with his wife and two sons. Porter rose to prominence in 2013 with the release of his third album, Liquid Spirit, which achieved huge commercial success and saw him win his first of two Grammy Awards. More recently, Gregory appeared on our TV screens as a giant Dressed Crab on The Masked Singer, finishing as runner-up. 

Alongside his impressive back catalogue of releases, Porter’s live shows come highly recommended, powered by his rich, soulful and emotional vocals. He joins Nick and Angela ahead of his upcoming UK tour that includes four nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Nick, Angela and Gregory enjoy a Cabernario No. 8 as Angela pulls out all the stops serving Steak à l’échalote, a recipe by Claude Bosi, with two types of chips. To accompany their steaks, they have the choice of three sauces: a Beaujolais, a Béarnaise or a Café de Paris-style butter. 

Gregory hosts his own cooking show, The Porterhouse, and brings fantastic culinary knowledge and appreciation to this episode. He shares his love of hosting big, big parties, shows plenty of love for touring life in the UK and reveals what life was like inside that heavy Dressed Crab head.

This week on Dish, Nick and Angela are joined by a powerhouse couple.

Brian Cox is a renowned Scottish actor whose career spans more than six decades. Born in Dundee, he was classically trained before becoming a key figure in British theatre. Brian Cox made history as the first actor to portray Dr Hannibal Lecter on screen in Michael Mann’s Manhunter in 1986. He went on to star in highly acclaimed films including Braveheart and The Bourne Identity. 

On television, Brian Cox is now a cultural icon, thanks to his award-winning portrayal of media titan Logan Roy in Succession. Brian married his wife Nicole in 2002, and they have two sons. Nicole Ansari-Cox is an actor, director and producer. Born in Cologne, she began acting at the age of nine with a breakthrough role in the German crime series Tatort. Her career includes roles in TV shows such as Deadwood and Succession. Nicole frequently shares the stage with her husband, including their current performance in The Score at Theatre Royal Haymarket. Nick prepares the couple’s favourite cocktail, a frozen margarita, to start while Angela prepares roast trout with soy, orange and chilli, based on a sweet and spicy salmon recipe from Waitrose.

The experts at Waitrose pair this with an English white wine, Chapel Down Bacchus.

This episode is one of those great Dish double dates. Brian and Nicole talk about their new play and its parallels with modern life. They share some hilarious insights into their marriage and Brian's eating habits, and treat us to some amazing anecdotes from the set of Succession.

Nick and Angela celebrate Mother’s Day this week on Dish. 

Stacey Dooley MBE is an investigative journalist, TV presenter and author. Born in Luton, she first appeared on television in Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, a documentary exploring the realities of fast fashion in India. Stacey’s curiosity and empathy prompted the BBC to commission Stacey Dooley Investigates, which began in 2009. In recognition of her outstanding contribution to broadcasting, she was awarded an MBE in 2018. That same year, Stacey won Strictly Come Dancing, taking home the glitterball trophy with her dance partner and now long-term partner Kevin Clifton. The couple welcomed their daughter, Minnie, in 2023. Stacey’s new book Dear Minnie: Conversations with Remarkable Mothers is out now. 

Angela provides some inspiration for Mother’s Day, with an afternoon tea-style menu. She prepares a delicious puttanesca puff tart (packed with all of Stacey’s favourite flavours) and Martha Collison’s triple cheese scones. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Masi Campofiorin. 

This episode is full of fun and heartwarming moments. Stacey talks about the many loves of her life, principally: her family, her after-hours snack of choice and, despite never having met him, Nick’s boyfriend Mesh.
