Leeds

Jay Rayner and his panel of food experts are in Leeds sharing their top tips and recipes. They deliberate over the perfect roast dinner, offer ideas for a self-catered wedding and discuss the most pressing of tableside debates: can you ever have too much gravy? The panel share their secrets for making the crispiest roast potatoes, exciting recipes involving beans, and discuss whether it’s valid to love raisins, and hate sultanas.

On the panel this week are food historian Dr Annie Gray, chef Rob Owen Brown and writer and restaurateur Tim Hayward. They are aided in their pursuit of roast dinner excellence by executive chef Nick Robertson from one of the city’s oldest pubs.
