The Best

What happens when two top chefs and one experienced cook all pit their wits against each other in an exciting new BBC2 cookery series to find the very best recipes? Each week Paul Merrett (The Greenhouse), Ben O'Donoghue (Monte's) and Silvana Franco (food writer and home economist) compete against each other to serve up the very best dish to a panel of food-loving judges. Categories include everything from the best sandwich or soup recipe to the best pasta or chicken dish, and the result is a collection of 60 fabulous recipes gathered together in The Best cookbook. Can Silvana's Tuna and horseradish burger rival Paul's Seared black pepper tuna, or will Ben win with his Warm braised tuna saled? All the recipes are simple to prepare and use readily available ingredients so now you can decide for yourself which is the best recipe and serve up delicious home-cooked meals in the process.
