Chris Horridge and Elisha Carter

Series two: South-west

Representing the South-west of England were Elisha Carter and Chris Horridge. Find out more about the series.


Day one: Starter

Wild pigeon cured in birch sap wine, broccoli sprouts and omega rich seeds

True to form, the first dish of the week was the starter: Elisha served beef fillet accompanied by his unusual take on scotch egg, while Chris treated the judges to pigeon marinated with juniper and citrus. Elisha sourced his Devon white wine from Sharpham and Chris' pigeon came from Springleaze Farm Shop and his birch sap wine was from Lyme Bay Winery.


Day two: Fish course

Chris and Elisha

For the fish course, Chris presented a low temperature-poached ling, while Elisha dished up Cornish turbot. Elisha's turbot came from Channel Fisheries, while Chris' ling came from Flying Fish Seafoods.


Day three: Main course

Flavours of organic rare breed hogget with garlic and honey spelt and broad beans

Reaching the middle section of the menu it was time for mains. Chris went for rabbit, while Elisha made the most of organic rare breed hogget. Elisha's hogget and spelt came from Sharpham Park, while Chris' micro herbs came from Richard Vine and The Organic Herb Trading Co.


Day four: Dessert

Today the chefs dished up their desserts. Elisha visited Bakers Farm in Somerset to supply his rhubarb for a super-summery fruit collection, while Chris visited Bath University to discover more about food technology before he presented his berry extravaganza.
