Nick and Ange are joined by a Last One Laughing star - and the Dish table sees its first proposal.

Lou Sanders is a comedian, writer and podcaster who has appeared on TV shows including QI, Dancing on Ice, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster, which she won in 2019. She joins us at the tail end of her latest stand-up tour, No Kissing in the Bingo Hall, and following her iconic appearance in Last One Laughing.

Earlier this year Lou launched a brand new podcast, A Psychic Told Us To Do It, with her best friend Georgie Bayford. The show puts Lou’s passion for the spiritual front and centre, featuring chats about pet psychics, witchcraft, holistic foot therapy and manifesting. You can also read all about Lou’s life and career in her 2023 book, What’s That Lady Doing?.

Angela serves a delicious creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle, with a side of sauteed garlic and spinach. Our Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing this with a glass of Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino but, for Lou, it’s served with a glass of Thomson & Scott Noughty Rouge Dealcoholized Wine.

As you would expect, conversations in this episode roam freely, contemplating all the big questions: Is Lou in her gardening era?; Is her cat Bobert her husband from a past life?; And what is the deal with raw onion? Our tagliatelle dish is a vegan hit, earning Lou’s seal of approval right from the first sniff, and the Fast Food Quiz finally meets its match.

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 them in a future episode.

Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.
