Claggy crab linguine? Case cracked. This week, BAFTA and Olivier-nominated actor and producer Gemma Arterton joins us, fresh from ITV’s Secret Service. Trading the spotlight for spy craft, she plays an MI6 officer leading the Russia desk in a thriller full of secrets. After a surprisingly solid spy quiz, it’s clear… Nick and Angela won’t be getting recruited anytime soon. Secrets on the menu call for two of Gemma’s favourites: something minerally in a glass and Irish soda bread. We start with a crisp Vermentino alongside Angela’s homemade loaf. But the real mystery? Claggy crab linguine. Enter Angela, cracking the case with her crab, caramelised fennel & red chilli linguine, topped with pangrattato for crunch—light, bright, and clag-free. (Gluten-free pasta for Nick, no pangrattato.) Between dreams of the Amalfi coast and the harsh truth about countryside takeaways (sushi struggles), Gemma shares her love of home comforts from her mum’s potato pies to her own baking, including a standout lemon meringue. To finish: a silky lemon posset with crumbly shortbread and plenty of smiles. A proper three-course feast, a few secrets, and no one leaving hungry – hard to beat!
