Westminster

Jay Rayner hosts this week's culinary panel show from Westminster Kingsway College. Joining him are food writer Tim Anderson, materials master Zoe Laughlin, and two of Westminster Kingsways’ alumni - the exuberant Sophie Wright, and good-humoured gastronome, Ainsley Harriott. Inspired by Westminster Kingway’s founder and 19th Century chef, Auguste Escoffier, the panel discuss the history and contents of the ‘mother sauces’, as well as the all important question - what counts as a sauce? Alongside the queries ranging from peachy pairings to onion slicing suggestions, the panel take a deep dive into the ‘fruitiest’ of culinary questions. Among the recipe-fuelled ruckus, guest speaker and Head of Westminster Kingsway, Paul Jervis gives us an insight into blonde rouxs, bechamels, and chopping boards.
