This week on Dish, Nick and Angela are joined by Peter Serafinowicz.

Peter has one of the most wide-ranging CVs in showbiz – actor, comedian, director, voice artist, sketch legend… and, if he has his way, future pasta-shape designer.

He’s recently made a splash as the hilariously unbothered property developer Johannes in Amandaland, and as host of the Netflix game show Million Dollar Secret, where a millionaire hides in plain sight. From The Simpsons to Star Wars, Parks and Rec to The Tick, Peter’s screen work spans both sides of the Atlantic – though his sketch-packed Peter Serafinowicz Show on BBC2 remains a cult classic.

He’s also the man behind Brian Butterfield – the eccentrically brilliant character which has recently delighted live audiences on his nationwide tour in 2024.

Peter arrives at the Dish table with one of our longest ever lists of food likes and dislikes – but don’t be fooled, he’s no diva. In fact, he might just be the dream dinner guest: easy-going, pasta-obsessed, and very, very funny.

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, the trio enjoy a glass of Equinox Kombucha.

Between mouthfuls, Peter discusses food faux pas, Come Dine with Me, and his true love of skin-on mashed potato. To top it all off? An end-of-the-show-question with an impression that you simply won’t want to miss!

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.

  1. Finally! A chef admits it takes 10 minutes to correctly soften onion! Stuff all of these sweat onion for two minute imposters, your onion is crunchy enough to refuse measles vaccine.

  2. It's not fully from scratch unless she also made the pasta. Which she might have done, and you can't see in this short.

  3. When I heard that she made it "from scratch", I thought she had made the pasta and the passata herself. Now she is just making pasta the way 90% of Italians make it every day.

  4. I got those tinned tomatoes as they were on offer. The tins are too good for theow away, now used as a pen pot.

  5. Yummy! Now that Lent is over I’ll give this a try. Looking forward to having meat products again. Thanks for the recipe Ange! :))
