Award-wining chef Peter Gordon says kia ora from New Zealand. Gordon is often described as ‘the godfather of fusion cooking’, intertwining flavours from all corners of the globe, producing dishes that hold flavours and textures, rather than tradition.

Baines’ passion for food stemmed from the Mediterranean, before returning to his roots and diving headfirst into the world of true British cooking. Author of the praised cookbook Best of British, Baines conjures contemporary twists to British classics.
You’ll be in truffle if you don’t try Baines’ unique twist on traditional Roast Pumpkin Soup. With roasted pumpkin of course, but also with blue cheese, and truffle, Baines’ adds a luxurious surprise to this iconic dish. Why not complete your meal with a Warm Lamb Salad, crispy panko-crusted lamb, rosemary, spilt peas, pomegranate, and grilled courgette topped with a honey mustard dressing?
