Newtownabbey

Jay Rayner and the panel are in Newtownabbey celebrating the 300th episode of The Kitchen Cabinet. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers Melissa Thompson, Paula McIntyre, Rachel McCormack, and Jordan Bourke.

Together, they explore the much-loved Northern Irish sweet treat, fifteens, and share the best ways to revolutionise a beef stew. They also debate the polemic culinary question - should stuffing be cooked inside or outside of the bird?

Later on, Jay chats to Peter Hannan, the man behind the famous sugar pit bacon about how he makes his bacon taste so good. We also hear from local baker, Shannon Holmes from Nanny Plums bakery, about the recipe, flavour and story behind the no-bake treat, the 'fifteen'.
