The culinary clash of “Great British Menu” returns, celebrating its 20th anniversary with a trip to Northern Ireland. This week, the heat is on as chefs present their canapés, starters, and fish courses, all inspired by great Britons of the past. A coveted spot at a banquet held at the historic Blenheim Palace awaits the winner.
Expect a creative explosion of flavors and textures, from a fusion of ajo blanco and vine leaf dolmas to fish dishes featuring brill, coley, cod, and sea trout. The competition tests the chefs’ skills and pushes them to create dishes that not only taste exquisite but also tell a story.
Presiding over the culinary creations is Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett, whose discerning palate will determine which chef advances. The pressure is high, and the competition fierce as these Northern Irish chefs aim to earn recognition on the national stage. It’s a battle of culinary wits, with local pride and a place in gastronomic history on the line.
“Great British Menu” airs Tuesday, March 11th at 8:00 PM on BBC Two.
