Episode Name: Abergavenny Lamb
Preview:
This week’s show takes place in the Monmouthshire market town of Abergavenny, where the chefs create their own unique dishes using traditional Welsh lamb. The two professionals taking part in this week’s show are Steve Bennett and Domenico Scarpetta. Steve is head chef at the Llansantffraed Court Hotel in Abergavenny, while Italian Domenico is owner/chef at local institution the Malthouse, where he indulges his passion for the flavours of his native Puglia.
Steve and Domenico’s challenge is to search Abergavenny’s sizeable farmers’ market for the best ingredients they can find. They then use that produce to create a spectacular two-course meal in an alfresco kitchen in the heart of the market, under the watchful eyes of shoppers, traders and the ‘Street Market Chefs’ judges.
This week, the judging panel features local radio presenter Angela Jay and Western Mail food and wine critic Neil Cammies. While Angela is keen to see how the chefs fare in an unfamiliar environment, Neil is fixated on the quality local produce. “I’ll be looking for the ingredients to really sing through,” he says. Rounding off the panel is Iain Sampson, who was named Wales’s best chef of 2010. Optimistic Iain, who is head chef at the Peterstone Court Country House Hotel in the Brecon Beacons, is looking forward to tasting the competitors’ culinary creations. “Whatever ingredient they’re given, I’m sure they’re going to create something we’ll really enjoy,” he says diplomatically.
