Dish

• Alex Horne, meatballs in tomato sauce and a primitivo

  Nick and Angela welcome a master of his craft to Dish.  Alex Horne is an English comedian, writer and creator of the award-winning and highly original game show Taskmaster, which he cohosts with Greg Davies.  Horne, born in Chichester, began his comedy career as a student doing routines at open mic nights in Cambridge before appearing at his first Edinburgh Fringe in 2000. It was at the Fringe that Taskmaster came to life, before making its debut on our TV screens in 2009 (first on Dave and now on Channel 4). The show, now in its 19th season, has been broadcast in over 120 countries and recently was turned into a live immersive experience in London.  Alex, who lives in Chesham with his wife and three sons, is also the lead singer of The Horne Section, a ‘six-headed musical comedy band’, who have extended their UK and Ireland  tour across the duration of 2025. They can also be seen on TV in the aptly titled The Horne Section TV Show, which returns for its second series later this year.  Nick, Angela and Alex start the episode over a Guinness with a side of Pringles, before enjoying meatballs in tomato sauce, a recipe by the one and only... Angela Hartnett. The perfectly crafted meatballs are served alongside a glass of Primitivo di Manduria Riserva. With so much going on in Alex’s life, this episode covers a lot of funny ground, including the origins of Taskmaster, The Horne Section and Alex’s skills in the kitchen, while Angela learns something new about Pringles… We are doing a live episode in Sheffield! On Friday 4 July, Dish will be at The Crucible Theatre at Crossed Wires Festival. For our second ever live show, Nick and Angela will be joined by the newly announced and hilariously funny comedian, Lucy Beaumont. Tickets are available now at crossedwires.live.

• Peter Serafinowicz, BLT pasta and a kombucha

  This week’s 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. He’s also the host of the Netflix gameshow Million Dollar Secret, where an undercover millionaire has to hide in plain sight.  Peter’s 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. He’s 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 Peter’s 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.  Side notes:  We are doing a live episode in Sheffield!

• JADE, roast lamb, chargrilled green vegetables and a Rioja

  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.  We are doing a live episode in Sheffield! On Friday 4th July, Dish will be at The Crucible Theatre at Crossed Wires Festival. Nick and Angela will be joined by a special guest for their second ever live show.

• Gregory Porter, ribeye steak with three sauces and a Cabernario

  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.

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.
