In this episode of Table 4: Chefs’ Notes, Steve Martin and Martin Short bring a little show business to the kitchen as they read our slow-cooked tomato sauce recipe, with a banjo, impressions and plenty of laughter.

Then I’m joined by River Café Executive Chef Joseph Trivelli, my cooking companion of more than 25 years, to share the secrets of a great tomato sauce. From choosing the right tomatoes and cooking the garlic gently to the importance of time, Joe offers his tips for making it at home. We also debate onions, herbs and the all-important question: should you ever put cheese on tomato pasta?

What happens when two of the funniest men in the world sit down to eat?

Growing Up in a Troubled Home

Early Musical Influences and Adoption

Joining the Black Panthers

The Birth of Chic and Working with Madonna

Encounters with Music Legends

A Life of Musical Discovery

Welcome to Season Six! 

How did growing up in a household affected by heroin, surrounded by jazz greats, shape Nile Rodgers? How did his Barbadian grandmother’s lessons about spices influence him? And what was it really like working with Madonna, David Bowie and Michael Jackson?

In the first episode of Season Six, I sat down with Nile to explore his remarkable life, from his childhood in New York and joining the Black Panther Party at 16 to forming Chic and creating some of pop music’s biggest records. He shared stories of Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie visiting his family home, making Like a Virgin with Madonna and going out to restaurants together, as well as his first meeting with David Bowie.
