Well worth the long wait, the 15th Coolcucumber TV programme is now online for your viewing pleasure at www.coolcucumber.tv. Keep the autumn winds away with this warm and cosy new edition:
The great Joel Antunes talks about how much he learnt in the USA and Asia, and about his return to London to open the Brasserie Joel at the Park Plaza Hotel – no longer a building site on the south side of Westminster Bridge.
Locatelli veterans, the Brothers Sali, at their warm and friendly local restaurant, Tinello, in Pimlico – already packed only a few weeks after opening.
Another great cocktail from the Hendricks Ambassador, Louis Xavier Lewis-Smith – the Gin Basil Smash.
A trip to the New Forest to Gerard and Nina Basset at their Hotel Terravina. Oh, and Gerard just happens to be the new Best Sommelier in the World…
Arthur Potts Dawson talks about his life in the kitchen and the importance of the right kind of learning experience.
And finally, some more Middle-Eastern inspired cooking from Silvena Rowe in the Cookbbok Cafe at the Intercontinental, Park Lane.
The next one will be along in the New Year – and don’t forget all the previous programmes remain on the web site, and can all be downloaded for viewing at your leisure. The download video is now an iPod and iPhone friendly mp4 video.
