Martin Kemp asked the important questions when he came on Dish.
Best known as the bassist in Spandau Ballet, Martin Kemp, alongside his brother, Gary, formed one of the most successful Brit pop bands of the 80s selling over 25 million albums worldwide. In the late 90s, Martin swapped the stage for the small screen and joined EastEnders as bad boy Steve Owen.

These days, Martin and his son Roman are regulars on Celebrity Gogglebox and he has just released his brand new book Ticket to the World: My 80s Story, an evocative memoir and joyous celebration of the culture of the decade.

Happily, Martin is a huge fan of Italian food so Angela prepares a creamy mushroom & cavolo nero pasta. The dish features handmade tagliatelle, a mix of porcini and chestnut mushrooms (with a drop of Marmite), cream and grated Parmigiano. It’s paired with freshly squeezed apple juice, a gift from Martin’s garden.

In the episode, Nick Grimshaw gets schooled on some great 80s icons, spag bol, George Michael and shoulder pads.

  1. Ye I was at catering college and used a bit of tomato purée for the tomato component and the rest of the sauce i used milk. Did it because I saw Rick stein do it on the telly the night before. The annoying “tutor” wasn’t impressed. But he was an annoying little scouse rat c#%t anyway so WGAF?! Was delicious! Think it got binned 😂

  2. Milk in only to lower the acidity of the tomatoes. My father was from Booogna and never put milk in it. To have a better thickness you just let it simmer for a longer time. We usually have it cook between 3 and 4 hours.

  3. Ive learnt you can add a spash of milk to any sauce as its reducing to give some richness, and a knob of butter into anything and everything never goes a miss

  4. I’ll throw some butter in the next day when it’s leftovers. Handles any dryness that might have happened in the fridge and it tastes so creamy

  5. I just heard of this for the first time today when I was making some and looking up a red wine substitute (I was out). I had no idea this was a thing! And then low and behold, this vid pops up!

  7. Definitely milk out! The reason why I love bolognese is because it's tomato based.
    Tomato with milk is a big no. The same reason why I would never make/order tomato cream soup. It's just sooo wrong.

  8. Oh heck yes, i put 2 cups of raw milk, straight from my cow… its amazing, makes a glossy sauce, cuts down the acid in the tomatoes

  9. Only smart arses add milk. It adds nothing to the flavour and in a tomato based sauce is frankly a little bit weird.

  10. I started adding cream to my dishes kind of randomly and it makes lots of meals really deelish!❤

  11. I'm beginning to think that Britain's don't know what Bolognese is… it's not tomato sauce with some mince…
