A Taste of the Yorkshire Dales (2015x102)

:

This one-off film, exclusive to More4, follows Frances Atkins, who is one of only six female Michelin-starred chefs in the UK. Frances Atkins has held her Michelin star continually since 2003 - no mean feat in the modern restaurant business. A Taste of the Yorkshire Dales follows Frances as she creates new meals at her North Yorkshire restaurant, The Yorke Arms, using local, fresh seasonal ingredients - from grouse and crab to lush autumn berries. Frances combines her knowledge of food with classic techniques and a talent for presentation, flavour and texture. The combination has earned her the reputation as one of Britain's most talented chefs. However, as well as keeping the menu fresh, there is the pressure to remain at the top. This film captures just how much that means to Frances and her close-knit team.
