I decided, as I am a top class chef, that I would attempt to cook it for myself!

I used a full medium sized onion, although Thomas only mentions it in passing later in the recipe, a full medium carrot, and a full stick of celery.

Add red wine… You may also indulge in a small glass while you wait for your food #BestBologneseEver pic.twitter.com/CVggu1N5ND

I added about a glass of red wine. Then drank the rest of the bottle while cooking. A wise choice.

Once it is stewing, put it in the oven at 180 degrees #BestBologneseEver pic.twitter.com/uFfKj6WCRK

It was in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, until it looked like much of the juice had been absorbed.
The #BestBologneseEver is complete, and it lives up to the name! Thank you, Tom Hiddleston for the recipe & to @taffyakner for sharing it! pic.twitter.com/ZLaMmvRpn8

I have to say that I had my doubts. When I make Bolognese I add a lot more tomatoes, and also Tomato puree, and I worried this would not be to my tastes, but it was in fact delicious!
I largely believe that Celery is the Thor of the food word, in that it is pointless, tasteless, bland, and thinks it should be King of Asgard when it SHOULD NOT, IT SHOULD BE ME! I will admit that, just this once, I was wrong. The cooked celery was a wonderful addition to this dish, and I shall be cooking Tom Hiddleston’s Bolognese again! I may also be cooking Thor. Perhaps it will improve him too?
This is what it looked like! We should all be more like Lego Loki. Tom Hanks, Tom Hiddleston and Lego Loki. https://t.co/RG41qYN5Pm
