Summary

Our first serving of soup on Dish. Sara Pascoe is a comedian, actor, presenter and writer who loves soup with her entire being. Time, then, for Angela to dust off the ladle and serve Sara the best minestrone, using a recipe from Martha Collison. But will it win round Nick, who cannot shake the association of soups and smelly office kitchens? We’re joined by Sara to discuss her new show, Zero Stars, coming to TLC from mid-April. In Zero Stars, Sara and her pal Roisin Conaty travel around the world to visit places and activities with bad reviews and terrible ratings. You can also see Sara on Mock The Week, which, after a three year absence, has returned to TV on TLC. At the table, we hear about Sara’s love of performing, stand-up and... Take That, a band who, like soup, are essential parts of the Pascoe lifestyle. Just don’t make her choose between them. The wine pairing for the minestrone is Waitrose’s Blueprint Gavi but, with a stand-up gig later in the day, Sara is sticking to coffee.. Angela adapts the minestrone recipe to make it vegan, using vegetable stock and vegan cheddar cheese. Soup-erb! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.
