Postbag

Jay Rayner and his panel of chefs, cooks and food writers dig through the Kitchen Cabinet inbox to answer your culinary conundrums.

In this postbag edition of the programme, food experts Shelina Permalloo, Melek Erdal, James ‘Jocky’ Petrie and Dr Annie Gray tackle the use of pea shoots as garnish and share their perfect chutney recipes.

They get into the nitty gritty of deveining prawns and take stances on the perfect cheesecake recipe, and the best way to cook broccoli.

And if you’ve ever considered purchasing a blow torch for Christmas, Jocky provides a prime example of how not to use it.
