show for a few weeks, but we saved the best till last. This is Saturday | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
:00:23. | :00:40. | ||
in the studio are two very familiar faces, first the chef in charge of | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the nationwide empire of restaurants, the jewel in the crown | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
being the two Michelin-starred Gidleigh Park, Michael Caines, next, | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
a woman with many strings to her bow, a food writer, on TV, and | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
cooking at the Ballymaloe Cookery School, Rachel Allen. Good morning. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Good morning. What are you cooking? A red mullet with Thai puree, | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
fennel, dill and lime salad with tomatoes and some chopped dill. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
is one of your trademark dishes? Yes, it's a bit of a signature, | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:26. | ||
coming out in the new book, but uses tomato ketchup which is interesting. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
All will be revealed. What are you going to cook? I am going to | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
spatchcock a chicken, marinade it with herbs with fennel with mango | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
feta and mint. Nice and simple, for the barbecue, but you're going to | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
roast yours? Great, yeah.We have a fantastic line-up of foodie films | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
from the BBC's archives. There is Rick Stein and Celebrity Masterchef | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
and the brilliant Mr Raymond Blanc. Our special guest is one of the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
country's best loved actors. His career has spanned some 50 years and | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
he's played some of the most recognisable characters in TV | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
history including the unforgettable Victor Meldrew from the BBC's One | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
Foot in the Grave. Welcome Richard Wilson. Good to have you. Pleasure. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Busy, as ever. I am seeing what you're doing this year - you never | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
stop. I am trying to take it a bit easier. A bit of both because | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
theatre is a huge influence in your life and continues not only on stage | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
but offstage as well. I have an associate director at Sheffield Play | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
House. Going well?Very well. We have a new play coming up in the end | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
of September. We're going to talk about that a little bit later, but | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
of course, at the end of today's programme I am going to cook food | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
heaven or hell for you. It's up to our chefs over there and some of our | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
viewers to decide what you'll be eating. Food heaven, what would it | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
be? I am very, very fond of a nice piece of freshly minced beef... | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Good. Mince. I was brought up - I was a war child, so I was brought up | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
on mince. Sounds good to me. How about food hell? Sushi-type was a | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
aub pee, mustard, that bitter taste, II don't... With me as well. It's | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
either mince or mustard for Richard. I am going to combine another of | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
:03:41. | :03:44. | ||
your favourite things, pasta. To make a ragu, beef mince ragu. Or | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Richard could be facing food hell, of course, mustard, and after making | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
some whole-graned mustard I am going to make a creamy sauce to go with a | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
loin of pork with mustard-coated green beans. I don't like them.But | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
you have to wait until the end of the show to see the final result. If | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
you would like to ask a question, you can call this number. A few of | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
you will be able to put your questions to us live later. If I | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
speak to you later on in the show, I'll ask you whether Richard should | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
face food heaven or hell. 10.00am - are you hungry? Um, no.I am! We | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
have with us one of the finest chefs in the country, Michael Caines. How | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
are you? Fine, thanks. Lovely to be back. What are you doing?We have a | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
beautiful red mullet I am going to pan roast, and we have these | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
beautiful ingredients, the fennel seeds and shallot, and Thai puree, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
lemongrass, ginger, madras, curry powder, Saffer Ron. Sounds good. You | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
want me to start chopping? Yeah. I'm do that for you. What we're going to | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
do is start off with the sauce. We have butter here which I'll put into | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
the pan, and we're going to add... Me to do some ginninger? That's | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
fine. You can grate this but because we're going to blend it after it | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
doesn't matter. We have some lovely flavours from the lemongrass. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
does the idea of this recipe come from? It's a bit of a mix and match. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
The dressing at the end... This comes from a famous French chef in | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
France. One of my guys worked with him and brought it back, and it's | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
just beautiful. It's lovely the way the spices go so well together. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
Saffron gives a lovely colour as well. Put that in. Cook out the | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
spice as well. You have the madras curry powder there and just going to | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
:06:11. | :06:13. | ||
cut that out before we add some lime citrus at the base base... Diced | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
onions there I know you're going to use. We're going to pop that in | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
here, so cooking out your spice and then adding fresh lime juice, and | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
that's going to give some lovely base acidity, squeeze out your | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
limes. You can do that separately, and now we're going to add the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
beautifully chopped onions, of course. About Gidleigh Park, because | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
it really is sort of standing there as, you know, the two -star starred | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Michelin. How long have you been down there? 19 years this year, so | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
already into my 20th year. In that time we have had two star for 15 | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
years, so... You have had some famous guests as well. Yes.You have | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
been down there. I have indeed, excellent. Fabulous. In there I've | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
got some fish stock. That's going to cook out for a long time. We've | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
already got some made here. Do you want me to blend that? Yeah, blend | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
that. Put the fish stock in there, and you cook that how long? | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
minutes, half an hour, and we're going to blend it to a puree, then | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
you need some muss Lynn cloth or a sieve, strain it. We have some | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
already made. It's this lovely Thai paste you can use with other pastes | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
as well. You blend this into a puree, then pass it through a sieve? | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
Yes. The dressing is what people are going to find fascinating. When you | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
burn butter, you get it brown. The secret here is to get it brown. You | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
have the chopped shallots you did for me. I have fennel seed here. You | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
can chop that, but I'm not going to, leave it. While you're doing that | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
I'll season the fish, just one side, on the mullet. I'll get that ready. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
I am going to pan roast that with some olive oil while I'm waiting for | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
this to brown. Always put it skin side down away from you. Hold it a | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
few seconds. If you're using a cold pan, put it in and it won't curl. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
Red mullet prized all over Europe. You can get it around the UK. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the south-west in particular very, very popular. We have the best | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
fishing coast in Europe really. It really is quite exceptional - the | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
array of seafood you get off that coast is fabulous. It has a very | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
strong flavour. I have a little bit of chopped thyme, which is | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
fantastic. You have done it all for me. So nice pan roasting of the | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
mullet. You can cut the skin, but it's fine. This nice deep noisette | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
with fish is stunning. Now we're going to add our fennel seed, toast | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
a little, now our shallot. Where does this come from? You mentioned | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
the favourite chefs you worked for? We used to make a sweet and sour | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
:09:32. | :09:36. | ||
sauce with a burnousetts e. At the end you're going to add this tomato | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
ketchup or any good tomt sauce. We cook it out and let it split, which | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
is lovely. So you just leave it? Yeah, it's like a split sauce. Right | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
at the end we're just going to add some wonderful lemon thyme because | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
that is very, very different as a flavour profile to normal thyme, and | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
you want that lovely citrus note of lemon coming through. Leave that. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
You mentioned 19 years at Gidleigh Park. It has been a long wait, then, | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
for your first book. Yes.That must be quite great for you to write your | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
first book. Very exciting. All good things are worth waiting for, at | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
least let's hope so. Sorry? What's it going to be called? Michael | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Caines's At Home. Lovely. Which is great. You can have me in your | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
kitchen, and you can be inspired by my recipes. This is lime oil. We | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
make citrus oil by taking lime and adding it to a little bit of olive | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
oil, warming it to 80 degrees, and then we blend it in the blender and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
extract all the flavour. That's just the outside? Just the peel this | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
lovely lime, and you get this lovely citrus vinaigrette. Now we're going | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
to take our fennel - it's in iced water, so it goes nice and crispy as | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
well. Mix that together. If you would like to put the questions to | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
:11:12. | :11:17. | ||
Yes, fennel salad with the dill. We have the basil oil we have done in a | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
similar way. It's already done. It's lovely and delicious. This can cook | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
out a little bit more. Just get a spoon so you can start to dress... | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
This on it? Put it in the middle, give it a little bit of a swipe. | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
That's quite loose. You can have that - then this just around the | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
outside. This is the tomato with the seeds in, and you want the oil as | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
well. The oil is the butter?It is. Then this lovely, delicious fennel | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
salad. We're doing fennel twice today, but it's such a delicious | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
thing, then finally mullet on top. Look at this wonderful green oil. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Again, this is 10% herb. You can do it with any herb, tarragon, | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
coriander, so ten divrams of basil to a hundred mil of oil, preferable | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
olive, and then all you need to do is heat it at 80 degrees, blend it, | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
a beautiful colour. So you're warming the herb in with the oil? | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
Yes, basically. No more than 80 degrees because that takes a little | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
bit of the flavour coming out of the herbs. You get the green coming into | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
it. If you go too high, it gets brown and you won't get that | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
beautiful colour. What is it again? Pan-roasted red mullet with Thai | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
puree, fennel, dill and lime salad with tomatoes. How good does that | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
look? And the reason for the fennel - ice | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
cold water... Nice and crisp, a lovely texture, beautiful. Have a | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
seat over here. You weren't hungry, but I think you may have some of | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
this. Yeah, very tempting.Tell me what you think. I don't like fennel, | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
Michael... On your list.Was it? sauce intrigues me. You say you have | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
:13:23. | :13:24. | ||
to get the butter nice and brown? Yes, when you burnoisette and burn | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the butter, it breaks down the fattiness. In there you have the | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
:13:38. | :13:38. | ||
lime that comes through as well. That's excellent. For some wine to | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
go with this we sent Susy Atkins to Somerset. Before she makes her wine | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
choices, she's taking a stroll along the beach. Enjoy this. | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
The summer holiday season is upon us, and I have come to | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Weston-Super-Mare to be by the great British seaside. I am going to head | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:14. | ||
mullet has lots of lively, zingy components with it so I have to find | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
a white that's bright enough to take them off on. It may seem sauvignon | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
blanc is the way to go, and something like this may be a good | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
idea, but in the end I have gone for something brighter and juicier. I | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
have chosen the Finest Swartland Chinin Blanc from South Africa. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
If you like brightly fruitly vivacious wines but you're not a fan | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:52. | ||
of oak my tip is to go for a Chennin blanc like this one, quite aromatic, | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
mouth watering. There it is, that lovely apple and wine which is so | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
typical of this grape and which, of course, will be wonderful with the | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
lime vinaigrette and the lime oil, but there is no heavy sweet-tasting | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
oak here which might clash with the delicate fish or fennel salad. Best | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
of all, its natural acidity makes it a really good wine to go with dishes | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
with a hint of tomato. Your beautifully nuanced, elegant dish | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
requires a well-balanced white to go with it, and in this wine, I think I | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
have found it. Enjoy. What do you reckon of this? I think | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
it's a bargain, 6.99. You never disappoint. There is a lot of | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
flavours going on there - this is a really good match. It take takes the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
spice really well. What do you think? Absolutely. It's wonderful, | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
quite apply. A fantastic sauce? Amazing. I think you're enjoying it | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
now? Lovely.You like fennel? Converted! Coming up, Rachel has a | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
great chicken dish for us. Remind us what it is? Also with fennel. | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad. Exactly. Don't forget, you | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
can also ask Rachel and Michael a question - if you want to know what | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
to do with fennel, now is the appropriate time. Call us on this | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
number. Standard network charges do apply, of course. Now let's catch up | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
with Rick Stein. He's headed to the South of France today, but first, | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
he's after some good old English baked beans. We have had ketchup. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
baked beans. We have had ketchup. Now we're after baked beans. Enjoy | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:56. | ||
get louder, and people seem a bit However, the film crew are | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
and they keep wittering on about baked beans and sausages. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
But at Homps, there's a shop run by Shirley Preston that sells just | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
that. But who would want to eat baked beans in France? | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
People from the boats that want | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
their bacon and eggs in the morning when they're on holiday, people that | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
have lived here, because there's a big English population in this area | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
now, people on holiday in gites, and quite a lot of French people. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
French people? French people. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Yes, I was surprised, too. | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
What an earth do they want? | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Erm...marmalade. Erm... | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
not baked beans. Not baked beans? | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Not baked beans, not Marmite, and nothing to do with curry. | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
What about bread? I heard they liked our sliced bread. Yes. | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
Well, I get it in fresh every two weeks and it's gone like lightning. | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
And that's one of the things the French like, believe it or not. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
I know the film crew are eyeing these tins and jars with wistful | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
expressions and, of course, we'd been on the canal for over four | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
weeks without a roast dinner. | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Actually, I really fancy beans, but not the type Shirley sells. | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
I'd like to cook this - a ragout of lamb with fresh haricot beans | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
that can be bought, it seems, at every market stall in France. | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
As a cook, it's a pleasure to be able to use fresh haricot beans | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
and not the dried ones I'm normally used to back at home. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
The lamb was a boned shoulder, perfect for a ragout. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Chop it into quite large pieces and give it a little colour by | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
quickly frying it in some olive oil. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Add a spoon or two of plain flour which will help | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
to thicken the finished dish. Then set aside the meat while you fry off | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
a couple of onions with garlic - say three cloves - in the same pan. | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
Add peeled and deseeded tomatoes, and when they've | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
softened, put the meat back in. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
Make up a generous bouquet garni | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
with dried thyme - which came from the hillside - and bay leaves. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
You need just over half a bottle | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
of good southern French rose and a dollop of tomato puree. | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
Cover the whole lot with stock, in this case it's chicken stock that | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Louis the chef made the day before. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Season generously and for the moment, that's it. | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
So just dab that lovely bouquet garni down inside, there, put on | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
the lid and then for 30 minutes, cook it at an absolute tremble. | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
And the French, in true French style, have a word for this - | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
it's called mijoter, and there's no- word in English that means the same | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
thing. It just means just a little bubble of heat on the top | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
and you get the perfectly cooked ragout. | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
Add the beans after an hour and a half, and because they're fresh, | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
they cook in about 15 minutes. You don't want them all soft and mushy. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
They've got to be, well, like baked beans really. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Dish out the bouquet garni and then | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
to finish it off, a persillade of chopped parsley and garlic. | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
I had this at a students' brasserie- in Paris near the Sorbonne when I | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
was young - where I had to queue for ages to get a table. It was so cheap | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
and it was served in a deep bowl with baguettes and a carafe of | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
really rough red wine which to me in those days tasted lovely. | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
:20:36. | :20:38. | ||
There's no better way of travelling. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
You arrive, in this case the southern city of Narbonne, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
seeing only the best of a place. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
No industrial sprawl, no traffic jams that put your | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
nerves on edge, and no searching for that elusive parking place. | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
Lots of people have assumed that I | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
would be skippering this 100-foot barge all the way from Bordeaux. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
If that had happened, I don't think- we would have made it to Toulouse. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
The fact is that these big barges only just fit the locks and bridges | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
and it takes a great deal of confidence and skill to get us | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
this far. Even the steering wheel's- too big to go under these bridges. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
Another low one, you have | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
to go to the miniature-sized wheel, driving my lorry... | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
I haven't seen that before. we haven't been this low before. | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :21:36. | ||
Lovely. Very good. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
I'm going to pop out of here into the lock in one movement. | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
Lee the skipper insisted we saw Narbonne. | :21:44. | :21:44. | |
In fact, we had to branch off the Canal du Midi to do so. | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
The canal was first built by the Romans 2,000 years ago and it runs | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
exactly the same course today, | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
cutting right into the heart of the city. There was a market by the side | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
of the canal when the Romans were here, and there's still one today. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
of the canal when the Romans were here, and there's still one today. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
I really wanted to cook lunch for the barge crew. I'd been thinking | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
about barbecued sardines with chilled rose for weeks now. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
These were caught last night using a bright lamp | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
to attract them to the surface. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
What do you have with sardines? | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
I mean, nothing more than a very simple salad. Nothing to sort of... | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
No big deal, I mean nothing's a big deal here though, is it? | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
I mean you come in here, it's, it's just so much easier to plan | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
what you're going to cook when you | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
can see everything, and it's so appetising and exciting. It's not | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
in little packets and there you've got fish, you've got tongues galore, | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
you've got, you know, oxtails, you've got lovely vegetables. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
It's easy to cook anything. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Cooking shouldn't be difficult. | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
This salad is so simple. Lovely ripe tomatoes, sweet pink onions, chopped | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
flat-leafed parsley, chunky grains of sea salt and virgin olive oil. | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
I know that if I were here for any length of time, I'd live off these | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
wonderful salads and fresh fish, straight from the market. I always | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
remember seeing a documentary about- Picasso when he was in his mid-70s, | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
sitting down and eating grilled sardines and drinking glasses | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
of, I suspect, cold red wine, surrounded by attractive women. | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
And I remember thinking, what a life - I must eat more fish! | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
Cheers! | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
I found out from Louis, our chef, what people like to eat on board. | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
I found out from Louis, our chef, what people like to eat on board. | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
Normally just have a bowl of pasta or, | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
f | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
Oh, that's good. Would they be picking them up and eating them? | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
I think it would be very Victorian,- with a knife and fork to be honest. | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
In the restaurant, you see people eating prawns with a knife and fork. | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :24:07. | ||
You | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
You can | :24:08. | :24:08. | |
You can tell | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
a farmed one and line caught one due to the size. If this was caught in | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
the ocean, line caught, they'd have to throw it back. Too small.The | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
farmed ones you get from the supermarket. We've got Karaway | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
seeds, cumin seeds, smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, garlic and a | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
little bit of chilli and tomato puree, not ketchup for this one. We | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
just chop up the chillies. Harisa is that famous paste you get on holiday | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
which goes really well with fish, chicken, all manner of things. It's | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
simple to make it yourself. Throw that in a blender with spices. We | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
have caraway, cumin seeds, smoked paprika. You can get the smoked or | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
the hot. If you go for the hot one, it's even hotter. Red wine vinegar | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
you pop in as well, and then the tomato puree. Let's get a decent | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
amount of it. This is this fantastic stuff you get in Moroccan markets, | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
Turkish markets which have the bowls of it - when you realise how quick, | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
easy it is to make, which that is - a pinch of salt - that's your haria | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
:25:39. | :25:45. | ||
paste. How do you spell it?Don't look at me. H-ahr- Issa.These are | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
ratte potatoes - I can spell that, which they have traditionally in | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
France, but we grow them in small quantities here. Nice, firm | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
textures. Yes, particularly good with this, then you have sea bass | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
you simply need to prepare. You need to remove this fin here. You can see | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
it's quite sharp. Remove that first, otherwise, somebody is going to dive | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
into that when it's cooked. We use a sharp pair of scissors and remove | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
the fins, then trim off the tail because sometimes that burns a | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
little bit, remove these little bits of fins. Sea bass is an amazing | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
thing. It's lovely as it sits there, but you can imagine it in the ocean. | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
It's a predator. The size of its mouth is massive, it goes catching | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
live mackerel. It is a predator of the sea. It's fabulous. Called wolf | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
of the sea in French. You score this on top. I always found your career | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
fascinating because when you read about you, acting, you have always | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
wanted to do it, but when you were at school you thought the one thing | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
people remind you of - is distinct about you is the voice, but you | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
thought that was going to let you down? Yeah, I thought I was very, | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
very nasal. One of my teachers told me I'd never be able to speak | :27:11. | :27:20. | |
properly. So yeah, I just didn't have the confidence to - I had no | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
role models in Scotland in the early days. It's something you have | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
literally been wanting to do from such a young age, really, and to | :27:28. | :27:36. | |
even do it when you had a - you were a lab tetion in addition. I was, for | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
ten years. But you were still doing it, amateur dramatics. Still did it. | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
When I was 27, I decided to go to the Royal Academy in London. | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
changed your life from then, but even then, it was the confidence. | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
You thought your voice would still be an issue. Absolutely. I am | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
surprised when people say, "Oh, you have a very nice voice, Richard." I | :28:00. | :28:07. | |
still don't think I've got a very nice voice. I still hear the | :28:07. | :28:14. | |
nasalness of it. That's the thing that stands you apart. I suppose so. | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
Taxi drivers say, "I recognise you now from the voice". Gives me away. | :28:19. | :28:25. | |
What we're going to do is grab our potatoes, pop these all over the to. | :28:25. | :28:34. | |
I am using grease-proof paper. If you put it in tinfoil, it sticks. | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
The harissa paste goes on there. What's the flavour of that paste? | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
Quite spicy. Hot?You only want a little bit of it, yes, quite hot and | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
spicy. Then get some of this ouring a know which we can pop in the | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
cavity like that, a pinch of salt and pepper, wrap this up and bake it | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
in the oven. Generally barb cues have lids nowadays, so you pop that | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
in the barbecue, cook it for 15 minutes. Looking at your career, it | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
has been a rise, rise, rise - it has! Theatre has been a huge part of | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
your life and always has been. You're doing stuff now. Tell us | :29:16. | :29:26. | |
:29:26. | :29:26. | ||
about that. I am rehearsing at the moment - Theatre Royal Bath for a | :29:26. | :29:33. | |
play. I am playing the hotel manager. I don't have too much | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
responsibility. When is it out?That opens on the 15th of August, this | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
month. This month.Gosh! I shouldn't be here. On top of that, you're | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
doing - not just on stage, but off as well because directing is big for | :29:51. | :29:57. | |
you. I have a production in a new play called Love Your Soldiers, | :29:57. | :30:04. | |
which is a play set in Afghanistan which goes to the Lysseum in | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
October. I said it was a steady rise but Passage of India, you played a | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
small part in. That film went on to be huge. That was exciting.Was that | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
that set you up or other things? it was probably television, things | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
like Only When I Laugh, then One Foot in the Grave, which was an | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
explosion. We have to talk about that. Of course.12 years ago it | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
stopped? Cru. 12 years ago. Why the decision to stop it? Is that | :30:35. | :30:41. | |
something you and the writers decided? It was David, our brilliant | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
writer - he had decided he had written the man, and that was about | :30:45. | :30:54. | |
enough. He e said, "I am thinking of killing Victor". I said, "Yeah, kill | :30:54. | :31:00. | |
him" But with something that's that successful, the temptation is to | :31:00. | :31:07. | |
keep going. We would do six episode at a time. I also found it - the | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
writing is key to this as well as the acting. Oh, yes.There was one | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
episode you did purely in a car, didn't actually get out of the car, | :31:15. | :31:25. | |
:31:25. | :31:26. | ||
the whole lot in the car. Yes, behind a horse's back side. Back | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
side! It was difficult to do because we were pretending it was summer. We | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
were filming it in the middle of winter, and because we were filming | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
it in the car all the time, the car had no windscreen. It was freezing! | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
And we were in summer shirts and things - awful. Where does that | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
famous line, which I am not going to get you to do - where does that come | :31:48. | :31:54. | |
from? Is that something you wrote? No, no. It was - Victor tended to | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
say it quite a lot. It was never meant to be a catchphrase, but then | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
gradually it caught on. You can open this up, and you've got this - | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
ideally, if you're doing this on the barbecue, you can cook it the same | :32:08. | :32:15. | |
way. I have put grease-proof paper in here. You can see it doesn't | :32:15. | :32:20. | |
stick to the tinfoil. How long have you had that in the oven for? | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
Between 15 and 20 minutes. Pop that on the plate and serve it on the | :32:24. | :32:31. | |
paper. Is there fennel in there? fennel here, no fennel seed - none | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
of that, lemon over the top like that, a bit of salt, then finally a | :32:36. | :32:42. | |
little bit of - I'll put some of this rapeseed over the top. Were the | :32:42. | :32:48. | |
potatoes cooked first? No, they steam while you're doing it. Have a | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
try of that. Gosh, lovely.So give us the name of the play you're | :32:53. | :33:01. | |
playing in? A Little Hotel on the Side. Where?Theatre Royal, Bath | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
opening on the 15th of August going on until the end of August. Best of | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
luck with that. Tell us what you think of that one. I am going to | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
rehearsal this afternoon. Happy with that? Happy with that!Happy because | :33:16. | :33:21. | |
it has no fennel. Lovely.If there is a skill or technique you would | :33:21. | :33:29. | |
like us to demonstrate, drop us a line or go to the website. | :33:29. | :33:39. | |

We'll be cooking Richard at the end of the show food heaven or food | :33:42. | :33:49. | |
hell, mustard - I am going to make my own whole grain mustard, blanched | :33:49. | :33:57. | |
beans added to a salad, with a creamy sauce with a fillet of pork | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
and buttery potato on the side. Lovely. Our viewers get to decide | :34:02. | :34:07. | |

Let me say right now, | :36:53. | :36:54. | |
I LOVE Emma's food! | :36:54. | :36:58. | |
She has got a ravioli. | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
Inside, there's ricotta, peas, | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
mint, in a bacon-flavoured butter. | :37:02. | :37:04. | |
That is speaking to my inner depths. | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
What's next? | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
Make the pasta! | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
For the main course, | :37:15. | :37:16. | |
she is cooking turbot. | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
Beautiful fish. Difficult to cook. | :37:17. | :37:18. | |
Underneath, vegetables inside leeks. | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
Those leeks have to be almost falling apart... | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
..or it's going to be like chewing on a raw onion. | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
I've got to say, it sounds elegant. | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
It sounds sophisticated, it sounds exciting. | :37:35. | :37:41. | |
And she's serving that with a classic beurre blanc. | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
Buttery sauce. | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
Get in there, Emma. That is beautiful, beautiful! | :37:47. | :37:53. | |
Emma's dessert - beautiful floating islands. | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
Little poached meringues, sitting in vanilla custard... | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
..with praline on top. | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
T | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
If you undercook them, inside is just | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
raw, tinny egg white. | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
Done properly, | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
they are beautiful. | :38:12. | :38:20. | |

We've always said that Michael cooks food | :38:32. | :38:33. | |
that people want to eat, | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
and today, his menu - boom! | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
Mackerel - | :38:41. | :38:42. | |
rich, oily fish, | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
served with a spiciness of beetroot. | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
And then the richness and heat | :38:49. | :38:50. | |
from that horseradish. | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
Absolutely fantastic. | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
Main course, we've got a lamb, | :38:58. | :38:59. | |
carrot puree. | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
Serving on potatoes | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
rich with truffle oil. | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
Fantastic! | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
Michael's got half a saddle of lamb, | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
and he's filled it up with apricots and spinach. | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
Then he's wrapping in caul fat, | :39:19. | :39:26. | |
Then he's wrapping in caul fat, | :39:26. | :39:27. | |
so the whole thing is held together | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
i | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
Michael, you're playing with some big, big flavours here. | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
He's got to make sure that not one of those flavours, | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
especially the truffle, is overpowering. | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
For dessert, we have a souffle, | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
with bananas and passion fruit - the taste of the tropics. | :39:46. | :39:54. | |
John, a souffle, | :39:54. | :39:55. | |
I think is brave, brave, brave. | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
But banana is heavy and sticky. | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
It's not easy to make that souffle light enough to rise. | :40:02. | :40:07. | |
You've got to be a very, very good pastry cook indeed. | :40:07. | :40:15. | |
Guys, you've got 13 minutes. | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
Unlucky for some. | :40:17. | :40:24. | |
Come on. | :40:24. | :40:34. | |

Live, Raymond Blanc is getting all excited about microherbs. He's | :41:27. | :41:35. | |
trying quite a few. This looks delicious. It's our last show for a | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
few weeks. I hope Michael and Rachel aren't planning any practical yolks | :41:41. | :41:48. | |
and will be trying egg-stremely hard to break Paul - any anyway, will | :41:48. | :41:55. | |
Richard face food heaven, the ragu or hell, pork with green beans? | :41:55. | :42:00. | |
We'll have to wait until the end of the show to find out. What better | :42:00. | :42:05. | |
way to introduce our next guest - it's the brilliant Rachel Allen. On | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
the menu for you? Spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad. | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
This salad would probably go well with the fish. Sounds pretty good, | :42:14. | :42:21. | |
maybe not on Richard's menu as well! There is a lot less ingredients than | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
when Michael was cooking. cooking is so beautiful. This is | :42:27. | :42:33. | |
typical me, very simple. Would you mind peeling and dicing a mango? I | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
will spatchcock the chichen. I have poultry sheers, but I am going to | :42:39. | :42:45. | |
use a knife, so anyone can do it. I am going to get rid of the legs. | :42:45. | :42:52. | |
Spatchcocking is cutting through the backbones, chicken breast side up, | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
so just flatten out the chicken so it cooks evenly in a barbecue or to | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
roast in an oven. I am cutting down the backbone there, really great for | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
a barbecue. Once you have cut like that you can put it breast side up, | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
so crack it. Flatten it down?Yes, then slash the legs a couple of | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
times like this, so the legs, thighs and drumsticks cook at the same | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
speed as the breasts, so I have some cloves of garlic. Put the garlic on | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
the roasting tray with the chicken spatchcocked like so. You sliced it | :43:32. | :43:38. | |
as well? I what isYou sliced it? Yeah, I slashed the legs a few times | :43:38. | :43:48. | |
:43:48. | :43:50. | ||
so the legs cook at the same speed. That's nice. Well done. | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
For the chicken, I am using rap Rosemary and thyme. The lemon thyme | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
you were talking about would, of course, be gorgeous, wouldn't it? | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
Really lovely. Would you Mike mind - toast those, thank you. A little bit | :44:05. | :44:12. | |
of oil? Toast the hazelnuts, and I am going to scatter those over the | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
salad. This would work well with chicken, as I am, but fish - it | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
works well with delicious, grilled, barbequed meat. Has Ireland had a | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
good summer? We have had amazing weather. I heard it was raining.Was | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
that in the last few days? Last week. Excuse me, look at the suntan! | :44:32. | :44:38. | |
No, we have had a really gorgeous, gorgeous heatwave it, it has been | :44:38. | :44:44. | |
amazing. Everyone is in great form. You can brought it that but also the | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
cookery school. 30 years. Can you believe the cookery school has been | :44:49. | :44:56. | |
going for 30 years? Busy as well.We had a literary Festival this year, | :44:56. | :45:01. | |
food and wine, another one planned for next year, good and busy. I have | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
a three-month course starting in September, yes. Now the students | :45:05. | :45:11. | |
have to take part in the dairy farming, so they have to milk the | :45:11. | :45:17. | |
cow cows. They all have to do it once. Part of their duty now is to | :45:17. | :45:24. | |
make butter, make the yogurt and milk the cows. Fantastic.So you're | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
crushing the hazelnuts. I have done one thing. I have the mint and the | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
fennel. I'll do that in a minute. Lovely. I am putting it over the | :45:32. | :45:41. | |
chicken, lots of Rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper, generously | :45:41. | :45:47. | |
seasoning the skin. If I were doing this in advance, put the chicken in | :45:47. | :45:52. | |
overnight - I wouldn't put salt on because that would dry it out too | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
much and some olive oil. Sounds good. You're chopping lots of mint, | :45:58. | :46:04. | |
thank you. Got fennel again! What is it with you lot and fennel? But it's | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
so great. It's obviously in season at this time of the year, and that's | :46:11. | :46:17. | |
the bulb fennel. It's wonderful raw, a great crunch in salads, loves | :46:17. | :46:22. | |
citrus flavours and cheese like feta but it's good just grilled like | :46:22. | :46:29. | |
but it's good just grilled like that. Depends who you ask! OK. So | :46:29. | :46:36. | |
we've got the fennel and the mango gone in there as well. Mango - | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
instead of mango, fennel is great with orange. As well as all of this, | :46:40. | :46:48. | |
you have just finished a new cookery show. I have indeed, Richel's | :46:48. | :46:58. | |
:46:58. | :46:59. | ||
Everyday Kitchen, the book is out in September, so I have been busy. | :46:59. | :47:09. | |
:47:09. | :47:10. | ||
anything yet? Salt, got it. This Prixes and all the recipes are on | :47:10. | :47:17. | |
our website. This is perfect for this kind of | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
weather. This is the kind of food I have been cooking. Great for home | :47:22. | :47:28. | |
cooks as well. Absolutely.A wonderful family meal, beautiful. | :47:28. | :47:35. | |
You have mint, olive oil, salt, pepper, mango, feta cheese. | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
whole lot you want it literally on like that? Yes, lovely.On the | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
barbecue, you would have to cook that similar to the fish - put the | :47:45. | :47:52. | |
lid on? Yes or just turn it. It does work well on the barbecue. It will | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
take depending on the heat 45 minutes to an hour but it cooks | :47:57. | :48:03. | |
minutes to an hour but it cooks evenly. Woops. That's fine! And then | :48:03. | :48:10. | |
the garlic - let's see, put that on there, and some of the juices? | :48:10. | :48:16. | |
course. And also, you can deglaze this pan and keep it for another | :48:16. | :48:23. | |
sauce or gravy. This is all of those great juices, and that's it. That is | :48:23. | :48:31. | |
my spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad. Done. Looks lovely, | :48:31. | :48:38. | |
very quick, but looks delicious. you giving it out? You get to taste | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
this. I don't know how I am going to present this to you. I think you | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
just start that way and keep the fennel far enough away from you. I | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
don't know where you start with this one. Why is it called spatchcock | :48:51. | :48:58. | |
again? It's the cutting the chicken down and fanning it out. The idea is | :48:58. | :49:05. | |
it all cooks evenly on the barbecue. That salad is delicious. Why are you | :49:05. | :49:11. | |
laughing? I am not saying anything! You're brave, went straight for the | :49:11. | :49:19. | |
fennel as well. And the chicken, plenty of herbs. Absolutely. | :49:19. | :49:24. | |
long did that take? Three-and-a-half minutes - no! It would take about 40 | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
minutes for chicken that size. Something like that, but on the | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
barbecue, probably about half an hour. Yes.Happy with that? We | :49:33. | :49:42. | |
:49:43. | :49:55. | ||
needed wine to go with this. We sent Rachel, when I made your wonderful | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
spatchcock chicken, I discovered the real challenge to the wine lies in | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
the mango in the salad. Not many dry white wines can take on that fruit. | :50:04. | :50:12. | |
You could go for a ripe, chardonnay. This could be a good candidate, but | :50:12. | :50:18. | |
I think in the end there is only one that's up to the job, and the wine I | :50:18. | :50:25. | |
have chosen is the Yali National Reserva Viognier from chil Chile. | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
The remarkable thing about this is it tastes uniquely of peaches and | :50:30. | :50:37. | |
mangoes, yet most examples, like this one, finish beautifully dry. | :50:37. | :50:42. | |
It's richly perfumed. Those fruits just waft up from the glass. This | :50:42. | :50:48. | |
wine is a ripe, full flavoured Chilean, so it will definitely stand | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
up to that herby spatchcock chicken. What's clever, though, is the | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
specific fruit flavours - the peaches and mangoes - will really | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
chime in with the fruit in the salad, then it ends on a fresh note. | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
I think that's what's nice with the lemony dressing, the fresh mint and | :51:07. | :51:12. | |
of course, the cool feta cheese. Rachel, you have given us a super | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
fresh summer treat, and here is auptious Chilean to pair with it. | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
Cheers. Cheers indeed. Is this a Chilean | :51:24. | :51:29. | |
wine? Chilean wine.Love it. Better than the other one. You like that | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
better? I do.What do you reckon? Excellent. This is so morish and | :51:34. | :51:42. | |
with the wine, fab. They're happy! It's time for the finalists to serve | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
their last plates of food to Greg and John. Who will walk away with | :51:47. | :51:57. | |
:51:57. | :51:57. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :51:57. | :52:49. | |
and he's filled it up with but at the same time, | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
That fat surrounding the outside of that lamb | :52:52. | :52:53. | |
is the only issue I've got. | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
For his dessert, Michael's made | :52:56. | :52:57. | |
a banana and passion fruit souffle. | :52:57. | :53:05. | |
I am so impressed with your souffle. | :53:05. | :53:10. | |
The texture of it | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
is pillowishly light, | :53:11. | :53:12. | |
but still sweet and sticky, and the whole thing has body. | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
I get the fragrance of the passion fruit, but the big flavour in there | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
i | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
That, technically, | :53:20. | :53:21. | |
is absolutely spot-on. | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
Thank you very much. | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
Emma, come on up. | :53:28. | :53:35. | |
I'm looking down at three plates of food | :53:35. | :53:36. | |
which would grace the tables of any restaurant. | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
They look fantastic. | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
Emma's starter is pea, mint and ricotta ravioli, | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
with pancetta butter and pea shoots. | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
That makes me very happy. | :53:55. | :53:57. | |
Very, very happy. | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
Light pasta, | :53:59. | :54:00. | |
salty from pancetta. | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
Then, wallop! Sweet pea, | :54:02. | :54:04. | |
fresh mint. | :54:05. | :54:06. | |
It's just lovely! | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
It's as close as your mouth is going to get | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
to walking through a spring garden. | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
It's stunning! | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
is perfect. | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
Emma's main course | :54:18. | :54:20. | |
is pan-fried turbot, | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
topped with samphire, | :54:21. | :54:22. | |
with vegetable-filled leek cannelloni, | :54:22. | :54:24. | |
crushed roast potatoes, | :54:24. | :54:25. | |
and a beurre blanc sauce. | :54:25. | :54:32. | |
I think it's sweet, it's sharp, it's sour. | :54:32. | :54:33. | |
And it's got the earthiness from that wonderful piece of turbot. | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
In that little precious leek cannelloni, | :54:36. | :54:38. | |
fine dice of courgettes, shallots, | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
as well. | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
Yes. | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
Clever! | :54:47. | :54:48. | |
Clever! | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
Emma's made a dessert | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
of ile flottante - | :54:53. | :54:54. | |
poached meringue in creme anglaise, | :54:54. | :54:56. | |
with almond praline topping | :54:56. | :54:58. | |
and shortbread biscuits. | :54:58. | :55:06. | |
Shoot me now, I'll go to heaven. | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
Creamy, sweet, | :55:08. | :55:09. | |
rich, indulgent, light. | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
Perfect. That is so light, that little island in there, | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
but it's finished with a little sugar crust | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
and some almonds. | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
Lovely, lovely, lovely. | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
Thank you very much. | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
Danny, let's taste your food. | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
Danny's starter is smoked duck breast, | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
with pear and vanilla puree, | :55:30. | :55:31. | |
chicory, | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
and a chicory marmalade. | :55:33. | :55:42. | |
Beautiful pot of chicory marmalade. | :55:42. | :55:44. | |
It's sharp, it's bitter | :55:44. | :55:45. | |
but, at the same time, sweet. | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
Then suddenly, in comes | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
the iron of your smoked duck. | :55:49. | :55:51. | |
That, for me, | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
is a sensation and a flavour | :55:53. | :55:54. | |
I really like. | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
Danny's main course | :56:00. | :56:01. | |
is sea-reared trout | :56:01. | :56:02. | |
on aubergine puree, | :56:02. | :56:03. | |
with tomatoes, crushed potatoes, | :56:03. | :56:05. | |
and a tomato and pepper sauce. | :56:05. | :56:13. | |
I love the delicacy of the fish | :56:13. | :56:14. | |
with a little bit of sweetness of the peppers. | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
I love the smoky aubergine puree, | :56:16. | :56:17. | |
I really, really do. | :56:17. | :56:18. | |
Those flavours, I find complimentary | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
and very new. I like it. | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
For his dessert, Danny's made chocolate fondant, | :56:23. | :56:25. | |
with an orange sorbet | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
and rosemary and almond shortbread. | :56:29. | :56:38. | |
That chocolate - rich, but not too rich - | :56:38. | :56:39. | |
going with the liquorice flavour of star anise, | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
and then the rosemary, | :56:41. | :56:43. | |
which is like antiseptic on your tongue, | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
and numbing your palate - love it! | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
Thanks, Danny. Thank you. | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
We've got a lot of talking to do, obviously. | :56:55. | :56:56. | |
We've got a big decision to make. For the last time, off you go. | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
We'll get you back in when we've made a decision. Thank you. | :57:00. | :57:10. | |
It's not going to be easy. | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
JOHN: Our three had huge ambition, and it was matched | :57:14. | :57:16. | |

What they all | :57:17. | :57:19. | |

It's | :59:27. | :59:27. | |
It's time | :59:27. | :59:28. | |
It's time top | :59:28. | :59:34. | |
foodie questions. Each caller is also going to help us decide what | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
Richard will be eating at the end of the show. First we have Paul on the | :59:38. | :59:45. | |
line from Essex. Are you there? here. What's your question?I had | :59:45. | :59:50. | |
pigs' cheeks resently in a restaurant. I want to know what to | :59:50. | :59:56. | |
do with them. Braced, caramelised and cook them like stew, really, | :59:56. | :00:00. | |
vegetable in there, a nice bit of stock and a little bit of flour to | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
roast the pig cheeks at the beginning, then let them cook very | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
slowly, braise them for an hour-and-a-half two, hours, nice and | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
soft. There is a lot of collagen in there, so it has to become tender. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Treat it like a stew. Very much. What dish would you like to see at | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
the end of the show? Heaven, please. And Sue from Cheshire, are you | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
there? Hi, James.What's your question for us? I have a family of | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
young children who adore whitebait, but I can never get it really | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
crispy. I also want a child-friendly dressing to go with it. What a nice | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
grandmother. Whitebait - what about soaking it in milk for a minute, | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
then putting it into well-seasoned flour with salt and pepper, cook it | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
on a high temperature because it's so small and thin, it will cook | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
quickly, 190 degrees in a deep friar, then what about tartare | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
sauce? Our children love it, then gherkins, parsley, chopped hard boil | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
egg, mayonnaise. What oil should I use? I would use rapeseed oil, but | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
for deep frying vegetable oil? What dish would you like to see me | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
cook? Sorry. I hate pasta so it has to be hell for me. One a piece. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Sheila is from Cornwall. What's your question for us? I have half a leg | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
of mutton. I would like to know how to cook it? Mutton, you know, is | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
quite a strong flavour, so a nice, big casserole, slow cooked, perhaps | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:58. | ||
a bit of vegetable - celleriac to soften it, shallots, loads of herbs, | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Rosemary, thyme, garlic, lid on, in the oven, a very slow cooking | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
process, two hours, 160, delicious. I find if you put layers of potatoes | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
under it, it all soaks in, pot roast it as well. The key is to not treat | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
it like a leg of lamb. Long slow cook it. What dish would you like | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
see at the end of the show? Heaven, please. Heaven. And Julian from | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Manchester. What's your question? How do you cook the perfect chips? | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
What sort of oil do you use? This is going to be controversial. I think | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
chips have to be twice cooked, so peel your potatoes, like French peel | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
them, cut them up, dry them with kitchen paper, then put them into | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
oil just at about 160 degrees so they cook all the way through so | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
their soft, then drain then, then heat the oil up to 180 or 190, if | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
bigger chips 180, smaller, 190, then cook them again so they get crisp on | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the outside. They're already fluffy on the inside. Drain them, just as | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
you're draining them, salt, so sun flower or vegetable oil. Or triple | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
:03:32. | :03:32. | ||
cooking - OK, Heston.Eight minutes, then do your slow cook, 160, 140, | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
then lastly, get them in the fryer. There's lots of versions... | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Passionate about it. Lovely and crisp. What dish would you like to | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
see? Definitely food heaven.There you go. Thank you.Pamela from | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Northampton, are you there? Good morning. Good morning. What's your | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
question for us? My other half has proudly come home and presented me | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
with trout. Any tips on what to do with it would be greatly | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
appreciated. OK.Your dish earlier is a nice way of cook cooking it or | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
how about poaching them, poached like you would a salmon, take the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
fillets, poach them with vegetables cooked out in stock with water to | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
make a lovely stock or pan roasted, equally, is quite nice. Even that | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
dressing you made, the beurre noisette is, a classic accompaniment | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
with trout. Yes or cooked with burning butter and then a few | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
almonds sprinkled in as well, lemon juice to cut through the acidity. I | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
love trout. People are often a little bit scared of it because it's | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
fiddly with the bones but cook it whole ideally. Yes, you can have it | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
filleted - the bones are quite fine. You have three or four recipes | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
there. You can choose which one. Which dish would you like to see, | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
heaven or hell? I'm sorry, but I love mustard, so hell. I tried my | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
best, you see? You're looking for some advice as well. I am looking | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
for simple recipes for the Five Two Diet. The five days? I can give you | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
that. The fasting days, 600 calories for men, 500 for women. A lot of the | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
recipes are fiddly. I am looking for something simple. Do you like Asian | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
flavours? Sounds a bit complicated. What about in the steamer, | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
grease-proof parchment paper and some pock choi leaves, mackerel or | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
trout and some slivers of ginger and garlic... No, no, too complicated. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
glass of water. Tomatoes are in season at the moment, in a pot, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
chopped garlic, basil, olive oil, brought to the boil, gently cook for | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
20 minutes, have that with a soup, fantastic with black pepper, lovely. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
I don't do simple, so- LAUGHTER | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
It would take you the other five days to make one of his dishes. | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
about a lovely fillet of fish, like grey mullet, very quick to cook, | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
nice and thin, then roast it, even something as simple as steamed | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
vegetables, new potatoes cooked, wonderful peas are in season, broad | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
beans - even green beans - hang on. You don't like that. Even with a | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
little bit of bacon - peas and parsley I mean. Yeah, beautiful with | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
gem lettuce through it as well, some on chrons. The French call that au | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
glaze. Yes.Peas and lettuce would be really good, sounds unusual | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
cooking with lettuce. I use a lot of lettuce with lemon juice. Peas and | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
lettuce - obviously not the bacon. I got that bit wrong. It's time for | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
our final omelette challenge of the summer. Good luck.Try and get rid | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
of this guy off the centre of the board, 17.5 seconds he's got, Mr | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
Paul Rankin. Usual rules apply... No swearing. A three-egg omelette | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
cooked as quick as you can, three, two, one, go. Blimey. Quick! | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
:07:55. | :08:08. | ||
goodness. Thank you very much. Was that garnished with finesse at the | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
:08:18. | :08:20. | ||
end? The pan was really hot! It is hot, actually. This one- | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
LAUGHTER I know! It's no wonder... Not my | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
finest moment. Neither of you is the finest moment. Both - doesn't matter | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
about the salt and pepper now. We are - you are on the board - Michael | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
with 23 seconds and Rachel with 30 seconds - so Rachel... Yes. I feel | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
like I have been called into the principal's office, "So Rachel"! Do | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
you think you beat your fellow Irishman? Not a chance! Do you think | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
you beat your original time? seconds - um, um... Did. Yes! You | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
can take that back to Ireland because you're a lot quicker, only | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
by three seconds but you did it at 20.04, not bad - there. Well done. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Michael... Are quick at making Michael... Are quick at making | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
these. Yeah. No. Hopefully, I have done a bit better than that. | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
have been practising I take it? You liar! Unfortunately, you weren't | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
quicker. You did it in 24. 46 seconds... Well done. There you go. | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
Will Richard get his idea of food heaven or food hell? Our chefs will | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
make their choices whilst you enjoy a fabulous final recipe from Raymond | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Blanc. He has a stunning dish for us today, a quail's egg ravioli, but | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
:10:02. | :10:09. | ||
first, he's getting all emotional has been cultivating micro herbs | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
grown very, very small, | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
when the flavour is so fresh. What do we have here? | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
This is baby coriander. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Goodness me! Mmm.One shoot. Wah! | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
What I love about these, it's a micro world of micro herbs. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
They are absolutely delicious. I'm going to use that one definitely, sage. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Even micro, they still have... They are packed with power. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
This is winter savory and it is explosive. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
It's absolutely gorgeous. | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
Very much a flavour like thyme and, like Richard says, really packed with flavour. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
Oh, look at that! | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
One of my favourites - little baby cucumbers. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Imagine on a little dish. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
I'm going to cry. I get very emotional. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
I think most women are going to get- very emotional when they see your micro cucumbers. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
This is true. Yeah, they're lovely. | :11:09. | :11:18. | |
Richard's micro herbs will add the finishing touches to Raymond's final dish. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
A beautiful quail's egg ravioli. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
A single poached egg encased in spinach and Parmesan wrapped in silky pasta. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
The dish is drizzled with beurre blanc, | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
topped with wild mushrooms, deep fried sage leaves and micro herbs. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
I've done my pasta. 250g of very strong flour, | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
two whole eggs, one egg yolk, a pinch of salt, | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
one tablespoon of water to give the stretch to the pasta. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
It's been rested half an hour in the fridge, | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
or up to two hours if you want to. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Then... Oh, my God, that's the small, horrible one you've given me again. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Raymond rolls the pasta until it becomes almost transparent. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
You notice the pasta... CLINKING | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
It's a good design, isn't it? | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
It's like an old, battered car. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Adam, please could I have a tray, please? | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
As you can see, already you can see my hands behind. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
I can see it from here anyway. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
The pasta is covered and chilled. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Merci, Adam. In the fridge. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Tres bien. So, now we're going to prepare the filling for the ravioli. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
To finely chopped cooked spinach, Raymond adds 20 grams of grated Parmesan. | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
He fills moulds with the spinach and Parmesan mixture. | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
What I'm going to do now is little nests. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
I'm going to press right inside, create a hollow, | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
which is going to hold the quail egg later. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Tres bien. So, you've got your little nest here. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
While the spinach mix chills, Raymond prepares his star ingredient. | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
We are going to fill in the middle of the ravioli a beautiful quail egg, | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
and, if you wish, a hen's egg. You decide. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
The eggs go into gently boiling water and a dash of vinegar. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
You need that vinegar to firm up the egg white around the yolk | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
so it's tight together, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
unless your egg white has just been come out from the hen. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
And it's pretty rare to get them like that. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
The hens' eggs are poached for one and a half minutes. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
The quails' eggs take 30 seconds. | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
So, we're going to place delicately... | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
our eggs. | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
Put them in the little moulds, the little nests voila. | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
Raymond tops the egg and spinach parcels with freshly shaved Parmesan. | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
Or black truffle. | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
If you're lucky to have a nice truffle at home. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Next, Raymond moves on to the ravioli. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Like that. Tres bien. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
You can stretch it a little bit. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
But no holes, because the water will log itself inside and your ravioli will be completely ruined. | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
He presses the pasta together without using egg or water to bind. | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
You just... And you push. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
You're sticking the two ravioli sheets together. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Make sure you push the air out. You don't want any air here. | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
Then use an appropriate cutter. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
With the ravioli assembled, Raymond moves on to make a light sauce, a beurre blanc. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
To a hot pan of shallots and reduced vinegar he adds water, cold butter... | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
By putting in cold butter you can create an emulsion. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
..and chopped tomato. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
So, my water is boiling. | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Raymond drops the ravioli into boiling water. | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
Four to five minutes depending on their size will cook the eggs perfectly. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Oeuf de poule five minutes. | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
The quail eggs, oeuf de caille, four minutes. | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
C'est tellement facile. It's much easier. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
I think everyone should speak French. That would be much easier! | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
Tres bien, the quail eggs are ready here. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
To serve, Raymond drizzled the buerre blanc around the ravioli, | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
adds chicken jus and a scattering of sauteed wild mushrooms. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Crushed hazelnuts add another layer of taste and texture. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
And the finishing touch... some deep-fried sage leaves. | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
They're very mild now, very crusty. | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Really delicious. | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
And the micro herbs. | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:07. | ||
Richard, you're going to be my judge now, OK? Well, OK. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
Look. | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Oh, my word. Look at that. | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
I will add a bit more Parmesan. Mmm. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
A bit more hoomph. Do you agree? | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Yeah, but you still taste it coming through. Yeah. Mm-hm. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
You taste the egg, spinach, just little bounces of flavour right the way through. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Really, really lovely. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
One out of 10, how much? 11. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Best score I've ever had, 11 out of ten. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |

Food heaven would | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
tastes - pork mince and beef mince, to go with a variety of different | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
things, fresh pasta I know you absolutely love, so a classic | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Italian ragu with that, then over here we've got some mustard or | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
elements of making our own mustard with some beer, a little bit of | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
beans there to add to the salad and a nice buttery mashed potato to go | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
with it. What do you think these three have decided? It was 3-2 to | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
heaven at home. 3-2 at home. I think they're very nice people. I think | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
they'd probably go for heaven. think so as well. Yes! What we're | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
:17:54. | :17:56. | ||
going to do is get the ragu started, so we've got some chopped onion, | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
then we have some celery and carrot. What the guys are going to do - I am | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
going to give them ingredients to make the pasta. We have eggs, flour, | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
salt. Why are they so brown? Organic eggs, organic, free range. You can | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
do it in the blender. That's all right. We place the whole lot in the | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
blender. See how easy it is to make the pasta? You have three chefs. I | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
don't have three chefs. You can take this with you! We'll start the base | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
of the ragu on. What we're going to do is chop the onions first of all | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
and get this started in the sauce pan, then another onion. The flour | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
goes in, egg goes in, a pinch of salt, a little bit of oil possibly. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
You knew all along I was going to get heaven? I actually didn't know | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
what Michael had chosen. Like-wise. I didn't know what you had chosen. | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
It is always a surprise. I am delighted. We'll throw the oil in - | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
the least amount of oil to get this going, then we go with the onions. | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
As I was stying you, that dish I mentioned with the tomatoes, rather | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
than just go to the supermarket and buy any tinned tomts, look on the | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
back and they'll have the name San Marzano. They come from Naples. | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
These are the famous tomatoes they produce all around Naples that go in | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
the pizza bases. That's tinned San Marzano tomatoes. They look like tin | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
tinned tomatoes but they're a lot sweeter. San Marzano.You can grow | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
them in the UK, not as well as in Italy, but you can grow them in the | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
UK as well. In we go with the garlic. Very good.Get this lot | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
started. What does ragu actually mean? Stew.Stew. Simple, isn't it? | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Generallitis it can have just tomatoes in it, but traditionally it | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
has a little bit of pork and sometimes bacon or pancetta you can | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
put in there as well, different recipes, but a little bit of | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
sellcry, and we've got some carrots, start that off, and you can see we | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
have our pasta. Have you got a pasta machine? Yeah.To make the pasta? | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
am just going to knead it for a couple of minutes until it's really | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
lovely and smooth. And then you would allow to it rest, say, for | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
about half an hour or an hour to allow the gluten to relax, then roll | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
it out, but you can go ahead and roll it straight away, and that's | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
what you're looking for. It's quite difficult to knead, shouldn't be | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
too... Fresh pasta is - you can't beat it, can you? It's so good. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
with our ragu, we've got the beef - this is the key to this - don't buy | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
the cheap stuff. You get what you pay for with beef mince. Generally, | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
the cheap cheaper it is, the more fat it has. It all dissolves out of | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
it and you end up with less mince. It's more cost effective to buy good | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
quality stuff so it doesn't break down too much. If we take the beef | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
:21:23. | :21:26. | ||
mince, pop that in as well in the pan and the pork . We've got some | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
:21:36. | :21:36. | ||
tal tagly telly there. Rolled out onto sheet sheets. We have a machine | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
but you can use a rolling pin for a long time. You should be able to | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
read a newspaper through it. Michael is cutting it here. What can I do? | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
So the camera can see, Michael - there you go, just falls through. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Very good. In here we have tomato puree. You need cook it out a little | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
bit. We're browning this meat off. That's the key to that. Is there | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
salt in the water? Not yet. I will put it in in a second. Red wine goes | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
in. Yeah.And then, as I was saying, this is really the key to this - | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
these tinned San Marzano tomatoes . If you just put those tomatoes with | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
garlic, olive oil and basil, bring it to the boil and cook it for about | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
ten minutes, you can put bread in it and serve it as a soup. Sounds | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
delicious. Lid on. I can do that if you want. On we go with the fresh | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
basil, throw that in as well. want to do this? Breaking it up. You | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
can break it up into chunks. It all starts to break down while it's | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
cooking. Yeah.Do you still get time - you love your food, but do you get | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
time to cook at home? You have a tremendous amount to work on. | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
to cook at home, something simple, and of course, the Five Two Diet is | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
very simple. Tell us about this. It's the latest trend, is it? | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
it was on television. It's the latest trend. A lot of people are | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
doing it, and it really loses weight for you. I have lost about 12 pounds | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
in five weeks. Wow.So five days you eat absolutely normally. What you | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
want. Yeah. Then two days... Two days you fast, and I think it's | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
better to try to not have a lunch. You have breakfast and a dinner - a | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
You have breakfast and a dinner - a supper. This can go straight in here | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
now. James, shall I...Yet. We can mix this together. The secret of | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
this is to gently cook it. So lid on. Cook that for a good 45 minutes | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
ideal ideally. Then we can now concentrate on our pasta in a | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
minute, because this one has been cooking, you see? Oh, yes.What | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
we're going to do is finish this off. We've got a little salad | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
Michael is finishing off, a simple green salad. When you buy this, use | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
inside the leaves because the outside can be bitter, the green | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
part, so use the inside which are nice and fresh-tasting. What do you | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
call that? Frizz e. Put a little bit of butter in here - because it's me, | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
and a good pinch of salt. Now, for your pasta - take the pasta, throw | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
that in. With it being fresh pasta, a minute, no more. One minute?Even | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
less than that, yeah. We've got this pan on here. This pan can be used to | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
finish off our sauce, of course, but all you're going to do is literally | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
take this out after a minute, should come to the top, no oil in there, | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
just plenty of salt, take this out, into the pan. Ah.Like that. If you | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
could get me some fresh basil as well, plenty of ripped-up basil, | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
thank you, to put in there at the end, then we can take some of this | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
ragu, which I'll give you now - take this out which has been cooking. See | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
that? That's all reduced down in the sauce. Lovely.What we do is finish | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
this in the pan. So this all sits in here. Mix this together, and the key | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
to this is finishing it off in the pan. You don't put a pile of dry | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
pasta on the plate. Switch it off now. A little bit of basil going in, | :25:54. | :26:03. | |
please, guys. Thank you. Some black pepper. Mmm.Pinch of salt. Go on. A | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
little bit more. A little bit more. That's it. And you've got this - | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
you're actually cooking the sauce with some pasta. That looks | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
wonderful. Come over here. I'll just get - we'll serve a big bowl of it. | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
Why not? A proper portion. That's 500 calories all right! I would be | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
no good on that five minutus two, whatever it is. I would be hopeless. | :26:31. | :26:40. | |
I think on day two I would just have a bar of chocolate, go to sleep - I | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
have had my 600 calories. That would be it really. You know it's true, | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
though. The great thing about the Five Two Diet is the fasting days | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
are quite tough, but you know the next day you can eat. You can have a | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
block of butter, lovely. You can't have alcohol for the two days? No. | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
