Sardines and Gooseberries
Foodies champion British produce. Giorgio Locatelli campaigns for the revival of the British sardine and Jason Atherton battles for the British gooseberry.
Michelin starred chef Giorgio Locatelli makes his first appearance on the series and heads to Cornwall. He discovers how the Cornish fishermen used some clever spin to turn the old fashioned and failing pilchard into the trendy sardine that everyone puts on their barbeque. He also tracks down the historical Stargazy pie, a dish which celebrates a heroic fisherman's sardine catch during one particularly bad winter.
Another Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton discovers that the gooseberry is no longer a summer fruit of choice in the UK as sales of this berry have fallen dramatically. He is determined to change our perception of it and cooks three mouth watering dishes to prove just how versatile and tasty it can be. He investigates the world of the competitive gooseberry growing and is given access to a contestant's top secret garden.

Giorgio Locatelli
Born into a cooking dynasty in Corgeno on the shores of Lake Comabbio in Northern Italy, Giorgio Locatelli is considered by many to be one of the finest Italian chefs in the UK and the world. At his Michelin starred restaurant, Locanda Locatelli, Giorgio serves traditional Italian dishes, emphasising the quality and freshness of the produce as well as adding his own creative touch.聽 Giorgio has had a column in the Guardian and written a number of bestselling books, most recently Made In Sicily published by Fourth Estate in 2011.
Jason Atherton
Skegness-born Jason Atherton was the first British chef to complete an internship at Spain's famous El Bulli restaurant, under Ferran Adri脿. It was here that he became interested in innovative flavour combinations and the possibilities of a tapas-style menu of small tasting dishes. Jason has worked under Pierre Koffmann and Nico Ladenis, and first achieved critical acclaim when he opened L'Anis restaurant in Kensington, London. He then worked with Gordon Ramsay as executive chef at Verre in Dubai and later at Maze and Maze Grill restaurants before opening Pollen Street Social in London鈥檚 Mayfair.
