In this edition of Flavour, Alan reports on the latest cookbooks to hit the market. Matt tries to cook something simple and, in a break with tradition actually succeeds! We focus on some local producers in light of the upcoming Food & Farming Awards, and, Alan interviews Jon West of ‘The Art of Meat’ in Arbury Court.
All served up with a tempura of music and a drizzle of the days newspaper reviews.
