Synopsis:
The new seasonal food series continues. Chef and culinary explorer Valentine Warner is hugely passionate about food and nature. He unearths the very best ingredients, as he travels the length and breadth of Britain on a delicious journey through the very best heart warming autumn food. Each week he'll be showing us the food we should be eating right now, how it grows and mouth watering ways to cook it.
Valentine celebrates the very best of autumn fruit, enlisting the help of a community of Benedictine monks in North Yorkshire in his search for the best Bramley for his autumnal pudding - Apple Charlotte. He overindulges on a visit to the country's biggest collection of plum trees in the Garden of England and creates a sweet and scrumptious plum crumble. Finally, Valentine proves that pear and cheese is a perfect autumn pairing as he makes a delicious, sweet and savoury treat - pear and cheese tart.
More about Valentine Warner
Valentine Warner grew up on a farm in Dorset. After studying at the Byam Shaw School of Art, he enjoyed a 'reasonably successful' career as a painter, but couldn't resist the call of the kitchen. He has worked alongside various chefs including Alastair Little, and has cooked private dinners for clients including Yves Saint-Laurent and Gucci. Inspired by a year of fishing in Mexico and Central America, he went on to co-launch Taqueria, a Mexican-style restaurant in Notting Hill.
