I’ve just been watching Gordons F Word and during the ad break watched an advert for the French lager Kronenbourg 1664. I think it’s quite clever with the slicing and prepping of bubbles. Take a look and let me know what you think:

The renowned chef Marco Pierre White returns to our screens on ITV this week with his brand new show: Marco Pierre White’s Great British Feast.

We last watched Marco in Hells Kitchen were he took over from former pupil and fellow bad boy of cooking, Gordon Ramsey. Expectations were high that Mr White would not be able to contain his legendary temper but having watched some of the show personally I thought he came across very well.

In this latest TV programme Marco Pierre White shows how to find and catch the best food, from mushrooms to salmon, and then what to do with those ingredients to make truly stunning food without spending hours preparing it.

As always with celebrity chefs there’s a new book to promote the programme (or does the programme promote the new book?), containing over 100 recipes, many of which I expect will be shown in the TV show. If you fancy a copy of the book then treat yourself to a (discounted) copy of it from amazon.
