Interviewing Brian Turner CBE
This evening I am interviewing the legendary chef Brian Turner CBE. Brian spent his early career with The Savoy before gaining a Michelin star at the Capital Hotel. In the earlier days of celebrity chef stardom, his name became synonymous with Richard and Judy on This Morning, when it was filmed out of Liverpool Docks. He was an original presenter on Ready Steady Cook, the forerunner to many chef television programs. His contribution to the industry has been immense. I remember standing in for him on those early This Morning program on more than thirty occasions and later doing a number of TV cookery demonstrations with him. He has been a big inspiration to me but also to many others. For the past decade he has chaired the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, our trade body and of which Prince Charles is the president. For all the glory of television, he has remained a stalwart of the academy. I’m looking forward this evening to grilling him on the early days and his views on the industry today. -Paul Read Brian’s biography on his website...

Local Lazio Produce
Blog One Last week I was in Italy, including the wonderful growing area of Lazio, just south of Rome. Lazio has an almost 12 month growing season because of the mountains which circle the area from coast to coast like a horseshoe, with the flatland in between almost forming its own micro-climate! On Monday I spent the morning in an artisan tomato-tinning factory, watching a range of different tomato varieties, including regular passata and tomatoes with basil, being tinned and jarred. I then visited the markets of Fondi, which sell fruit and vegetables from local growers. All of these farmers deliver their produce in any shape or form, including one local who transported his on top of a Ford Fiesta! I’m not sure if that’s the best way of doing it. I then went truffle-hunting, and you can find out what we’ll be doing with these later in the week. -Paul Heathcote I will be updating this blog with more stories from my trip throughout the...
