Summary

Angela makes claggy crab pasta a thing of the past! Gemma Arterton is a BAFTA and Olivier-nominated British actor and producer, and star of upcoming ITV drama, Secret Service. Gemma, who lives in West Sussex with her husband - the actor Rory Keenan - plays a MI6 officer, heading up the Russia desk in a thriller full of buried secrets. But before we get to chatting about the role, Angela is tasked with solving Gemma’s own cooking quandary: avoiding claggy crab linguine. First up is a glass of Le Arenarie Vermentino di Gallura (available at waitrosecellar.com) to accompany Angela’s homemade soda bread. The wine’s minerality is also the perfect partner for the main course of crab, caramelised fennel & red chilli linguine,with a pangrattato for extra crunch. Dessert is a serving of the best lemon posset, a recipe by Martha Collison, a choice inspired by Gemma’s own skills as a baker and, in particular, her lemon meringue pie. This is a three-course treat of a meal for Gemma, who is back on our TV screens for the first time since the critically acclaimed Funny Woman. We hear all about the qualities of a good spy, and why Nick and Angela probably won’t be getting a call from MI6 just yet. Gemma reveals how she gets the best out of her performances on stage and delivers our classiest answer for some time in the Fast Food Quiz. Secret Service starts on 27 April on ITV1 and ITVX.
