Nish Kumar is a critically acclaimed comic, who has won rave reviews and prestigious award nominations for his stand up. Away from the comedy circuit, he is a regular on TV panel shows like, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster and regularly presents programmes like the News Quiz on BBC Radio 4.
Angela Harnett leads a masterclass in Italian cooking, as she makes Gnocchi from scratch with roasted red pepper and chilli pesto. (You, of course, can buy yours at Waitrose). The meal is paired with a delicious Triade Bianco.
Nish Kumar brings plenty of laughter to the table, discussing food; the best meal he’s had in India, family; his parents’ ploy to make him grow up and friendship; what he really thinks of Ed Gamble and James Acaster.

This is why you make friends with the 'foreign' kids at school, because you go to their house and you get fed, learn how to make dishes, and years later you can stop by and say "Hi" and get sent home with tonnes of food.

I made gnocchi for a big thanksgiving dinner and it was suuuch a mistake, making enough for everyone was a pain, it took sooooooo long. By the time we were eating them I was so exhausted I couldn’t even enjoy them lol. Don’t think I’d ever make gnocchi again 😂
Of course gnocchi is far much easier to do than pasta!! Simple as ABC!
I really don’t like gnocchi. 🫣
"It's Chewsday, innit? That means it's knockey for dins tonite, luv!"
Pasta is easy to make
Making pasta is not that difficult. It’s a ball ache. Making any kind of filled pasta like ravioli etc… now that’s where the skill comes in
Ricotta gnocchi – gnudi – so so easy. Similarly potato gnocchi really is dead easy.
Made pasta twice, hung it up and all, but didn't want to eat it when it was done as it was such a FAFF. Rather do a bread.
Gnocchi are super easy to make
Gnocchi is the only potato I refuse 😂
Can anyone tell me what dinnerware is used ? Thank you !
I make lovely pasta but my gnocchi just doesn’t work. There is a real skill.
I love Angela laughter 😊❤
PASTA BEEEFFYTTTTYT
LASANGAAAAA
Flour..potatoes..water..is super-easy..
Gnocchi is very easy to make , but you need quite a lot of counter top space to make a reasonable amount
I can not stand Nish.
"I got bored halfway through and then got sirt of drunk" was my entire 20s. Still me 50% of the time when cooking.
Knock -ie?!!! Bloody hell
I watched a video of a guy making Pasta, I immediately went to the kitchen and made it, very very easy, it would get tedious if you want to start making those unique shapes
Gnocchi: potato and flour. Pasta: flour and egg. That's it. That's the whole thing 😅
How did Nish even make it on telly, in fact the entire current crop of British comedians is just sad.
Great way to use up left over mash!
ive made sweet potato gnocchi a few times and i would say it is very very easy
“as easy as making pasta…” ma’am. some of us read that as boiling store bought boxed dried pasta. and still it was too difficult .
