coolcucumber 21The 21st edition of Cool Cucumber TV is now served. It’s ready and waiting at www.coolcucumber.tv.

This new edition begins with the Elephant in the Room – at Cyrus Todiwala’s enticing new restaurant at the recently-opened Hilton close to Heathrow’s Terminal 5.
After which we rush over to sunny Barnes to take a look at all the goodies on offer at the very first Barnes Food Fair.
For our books item, we grabbed Jane Hornby after her cookery demonstration at the Food Fair in Barnes and persuaded her to talk about her excellent and useful book “What to Cook and How to Cook it”.

After which we bumped into star chef Phil Howard, of the Square – who is also behind the Ledbury, featured in coolcucumber tv programme 19. He talks about his restaurants, deliciousness, and the next generation of chefs.

Louis Xavier Lewis-Smith, the Hendricks Ambassador, invents a cocktail for us, which he calls his Grandfather’s Clock.

And finally, Paul Danabie from the Hilton does wonders with beetroot.


Seriously Good Curry Video

by Andrew on October 10, 2011 in Television, Radio, Video, Film with 1 Comment

Gordon Ramsay is encouraging Britain to cook up a curry and do your bit for charity this National Curry Week 2011 (9-15 October) by using his Seriously Good curry sauces, the range he developed to raise money for Comic Relief.

The famously fiery chef has teamed up with Edwina Currie, Anneka Rice and “PoppaDom” Joly to create this hilarious video.



While Edwina, Anneka and Dom’s efforts to prepare an Indian feast for Gordon result in a disastrous food fight and a saucy encounter in the bedroom, Gordon knows that there is a much simpler way to celebrate National Curry Week.

Seriously Good Indian sauces provide a delicious base for a fuss free curry and 10p from every jar sold helps Comic Relief transform the lives of vulnerable people in the UK and some of the world’s poorest countries. Gordon doesn’t get a penny.

The Seriously Good Indian range includes four mouth-watering flavours; Aromatic Masala; Butter Chicken; Royal Korma and Spicy Red Curry. They are available to purchase all year round from selected Sainsbury’s and Tesco stores for RRP £1.99.

For delicious National Curry Week recipes or more information about the Seriously Good range visit www.seriouslygood.com.
