When John Keats referred to this season as a time of “mellow fruitfulness” he could have been referring to Pimlico’s food markets, which we sent Lesley Lau to explore on a sunny morning with her camera. If the idea of scouring berry-filled hedgerows and rocky shorelines for wild feasts appeals, our round-up of the UK’s best foraging workshops is packed full of ideas. Feast at Claude Bosi’s Bibendum in the iconic Michelin House, discover Tom Aikens’ top restaurant recommendations and plan a weekend in Cheltenham to tie in with its famous literary festival, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Or simply curl up somewhere cosy and indulge in a delicious romp through the history of some of Britain’s favourite puddings.

No details of any purchases, orders or transactions are given in this confidential business. TRUFFLES THE LEGEND “It’s all about sex. It’s all about the aroma on the nose.” Said a chef as he picked the biggest and the best truffle from the pile on his table. Truffles are not ‘harvested’ or ‘picked’ but are ‘hunted.’ It’s all about the smell and those messages we get because the truffle tuber profligates via its scent and grows underground. Does that smell evoke such a reaction because we know they are so expensive? Would the ‘swooning’ and the ‘glazed eyes’ seen in folks exist if truffles were the same price as radishes, shallots, walnuts or ginger? “No!” You say truffles are rare, hard to find, fiercely protected, smuggled, fought over and sometimes killed for.

  • Old Pulteney Goes the Distance for Top Chef to Deliver Drop of World's
    For immediate release: Tuesday 29th March Old Pulteney Goes the Distance for Top Chef to Deliver Drop of World’s Best Single Malt Wick‐based whisky Old Pulteney has cemented its new partnership with Michelin star chef Aiden Byrne with a special delivery of its 1989 Vintage ‐ newly crowned the ‘World’s Best Single Malt’, one of the greatest accolades in the whisky business. Inspired to create a dish to pair with this award winning dram, Old Pulteney ambassador Aiden – chef at both Manchester House and The Church Green in Lymm ‐ met with an immediate problem: the buzz created by the win meant that there wasn’t a drop of the 1989 to be found. A search of the Distillery in the far north of Scotland and the company’s Airdrie‐based offices uncovered a single 50cl miniature of this precious liquid, and so the Old Pulteney team decided to make sure it made the journey from Scotland to Lymm safely in a style befitting such a rare and valuable dram. Michael Baty, a whisky packaging specialist from the Old Pulteney team, offered to personally chauffeur the miniature bottle to ensure it arrives safely in Aiden’s hands ‐ personally handing it over to the chef today at his busy The Church Green restaurant in Lymm. Aiden Byrne commented: ‘This really was above and beyond the call of duty! We have a busy week ahead of tastings and food pairings for Old Pulteney and I didn’t want to miss out on including the 1989, which is now the world’s best single malt whisky.

But I also remain a curious cook. My roots carry me but do not hold me down. My arrival in Monaco was a magical and momentous moment in my life. It is on this rock, nestled between France and Italy that I encountered my Riviera. I know today that this land was my destiny. All my cooking is inspired from this area that sings sunlight. From it, I draw strength and truth. « Riviera »: the word alone echoes a certain invitation to dolce farniente. However, the Riviera is a land of farmers and breeders who, historically, have toiled to bring abundance from an arid land.
