Stacey Dooley, puttanesca puff tart and a Masi Campofiorin

Nick and Angela celebrate Mother’s Day this week on Dish. 

Stacey Dooley MBE is an investigative journalist, TV presenter and author. Born in Luton, she first appeared on television in Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, a documentary exploring the realities of fast fashion in India. Stacey’s curiosity and empathy prompted the BBC to commission Stacey Dooley Investigates, which began in 2009. In recognition of her outstanding contribution to broadcasting, she was awarded an MBE in 2018. That same year, Stacey won Strictly Come Dancing, taking home the glitterball trophy with her dance partner and now long-term partner Kevin Clifton. The couple welcomed their daughter, Minnie, in 2023. Stacey’s new book Dear Minnie: Conversations with Remarkable Mothers is out now. 

Angela provides some inspiration for Mother’s Day, with an afternoon tea-style menu. She prepares a delicious puttanesca puff tart (packed with all of Stacey’s favourite flavours) and Martha Collison’s triple cheese scones. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Masi Campofiorin. 

This episode is full of fun and heartwarming moments. Stacey talks about the many loves of her life, principally: her family, her after-hours snack of choice and, despite never having met him, Nick’s boyfriend Mesh.

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