Great British Food Revival: Plums and Turkey

Cookery series where chefs and foodies champion British produce. Raymond Blanc thinks it is a tragedy that so many of our native orchards are disappearing. One of his favourite fruits is the British plum, many varieties of which are now seriously under threat. He meets farmers who are struggling to sell their plums and die-hard lovers of plums who are determined to revive the fruit's fortunes. In the Revival kitchen, Raymond's dishes are so mouthwatering that they make you want to go and plant your own plum tree. Angela Hartnett wants to persuade us to cook with turkey outside of the Christmas season. She wants to reverse the perception of turkey being an over-cooked, dry meat that we only eat once a year and encourages us to embrace the slower reared heritage varieties of turkey that produce succulent, tasty meat. Angela cooks up some tasty treats to prove just how versatile this healthy and affordable alternative to chicken really is
