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! On Friday 4 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. Tickets are available now at crossedwires.live.

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

Send your dilemmas to [email protected] and she’ll try to answer them in a future episode.
