He’s the first man to proudly defend a bolognese sauce skin at the Dish table… This week Nick and Angela are joined by comedian, actor, and podcaster, Joe Wilkinson!

Joe is known for his deadpan humour and comedic roles in shows such as After Life, Him & Her, Taskmaster, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. This year, he’s switching things around as he stars as the romantic lead, alongside Keira Knightley, in the Waitrose Christmas advert. Joe also hosts his own podcast, Chatabix, alongside long-time collaborator David Earl.

Joe’s dream meal? His own bolognese! Which means Angela has her work cut out for her as she serves up her version of the ultimate comfort classic. The meal is paired with a glass of Villa Antinori for Nick and Angela and a Zeno Alcohol-Liberated Red for Joe, following a non-alcoholic Italian Spritz to start.

Beyond the bolognese, Joe opens up about his newfound love of carrot cake, his deep distrust of raisins (especially when disguised in a flapjack), and his surprisingly sweet approach to on-screen kisses, even when they involve Keira Knightley.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help. Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.

  1. For those who watch Bake Off, Martha Collison was the 17yo from series 5 who got through to the quarter finals. Incredibly talented and was Graham Norton’s radio show’s resident chef/baker.

    Pretty cool to see a Michelin star chef using her recipe

  2. Just salt and pepper and a sprig of fresh Rosemary that's going to get boiled away from that long simmer ? Must taste bland af.

  3. Instead of topping it up with water as the last step, you should have put in that brown mushroom water the mushrooms had been soaking in.

  4. I used this base recipe for a mashup between your bolognaise and Nigella’s tortilla lasagna as I had some Mollica durum wheat wraps in the cupboard. I didn’t have mushrooms but used smoked back bacon, added a teaspoon of German mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Absolutely stunning.

  5. the minute she said pork and beef, i knew angela's a real one because that's exactly the advice my grandmum gave for dumplings. it just tastes better.

  6. milk, water into "seared dish" : best bolognese !! when American have low standards , maybe the best !! Please research Italian cuisine beforehand
