Great British Food Revival

Pears and Garlic (2x1)


:

Michel Roux Jr gets passionate about our heritage pears. Concerned that eighty per cent of the pears we eat are imported, Michel wants to find out what can be done to persuade people to buy British. He also prepares a delicious selection of dishes including a fabulous pear souffle. Veteran food campaigner Clarissa Dickson Wright takes up the plight of British garlic, often not even recognised as a British-grown ingredient. Clarissa takes us to a garlic farm to discover the amazing taste and range of garlic that is grown in the UK, then digs back through her history books to prove that garlic has a long heritage in Britain. To prove her point, she cooks a recipe straight from the medieval court of Richard II.
