Please welcome to the DISH dining-room floor… Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara! For eight years, this Strictly Come Dancing husband and wife team waltzed across our TV screens, with the adoring eyes of the nation upon them. Having both taken the decision to step away from Saturday nights, Janette now co-hosts Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two with Rylan, and Aljaž has been working on their brand-new stage show. You can catch the couple on their tour, A Christmas to Remember, where they will be dancing to songs from the golden age of Hollywood as well as Disney classics. Tickets are on sale now. Angela prepares a one-pot paprika chicken & orzo bake, with peppers, onion, garlic and black olives - all the flavours of a Cuban dish to honour Janette’s heritage. And to satisfy Janette's obsession with bananas, Angela serves a maple and cinnamon banana dessert with walnuts. In this episode we learn what Aljaž and Janette are like in the kitchen, hear how the couple ended up living at Craig Revel Horwood’s house and the real reason behind Aljaža’s decision to leave Strictly. Just so you know, our podcast might contain the occasional mild swear word or adult theme.

Best known as the bassist in Spandau Ballet, Martin Kemp, alongside his brother, Gary, formed one of the most successful Brit pop bands of the 80s selling over 25 million albums worldwide. In the late 90s, Martin swapped the stage for the small screen and joined EastEnders as bad boy Steve Owen. These days, Martin and his son Roman are regulars on Celebrity Gogglebox and he has just released his brand new book Ticket to the World: My 80s Story, an evocative memoir and joyous celebration of the culture of the decade. Happily, Martin is a huge fan of Italian food so Angela prepares a creamy mushroom & cavolo nero pasta. The dish features handmade tagliatelle, a mix of porcini and chestnut mushrooms (with a drop of Marmite), cream and grated Parmigiano. It's paired with freshly squeezed apple juice, a gift from Martin’s garden. In the episode, Nick Grimshaw gets schooled on some great 80s icons, spag bol, George Michael and shoulder pads.

Nick and Angela welcome culinary greatness to DISH HQ. It’s fair to say that this chef, restaurateur and author has transformed the way the world prepares and shares food. Yotam Ottolenghi creates a feast for the eyes (that INSTA grid) and a feast for our tables too. His cuisine is a masterclass in colour and combinations and he champions the humble vegetable like no other. Today he is joined by the esteemed recipe creator and head of his Test Kitchen, Noor Murad. The pair discuss their new book Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Extra Good Things, which is full of ‘flexible, flavour-packed dishes that all lend a little something 'extra' to your next meal’. They share their memories of food growing up and give British desserts a very interesting review. Keen to impress her peers, Angela carefully crafted a rocket and cannellini bean bruschetta followed by a creamy pasta with lemon and chard and washed down with a Blueprint white burgundy.
