Only 15 percent of beer sold in pubs is real ale, and Angela Harnett champions it's revival as she challenges a group of city women to get rid of their prejudices and swap their wine for ale. Michael Caines celebrates the charms of hard working British carrot and proves it can be much more than just a side dish.
Real ale used to be the golden nectar supped by all, and celebrated chef Angela Hartnett is determined to get us all drinking it once again. She discovers that women, or ale wives, were the original brewers of ale and challenges a group of city women to ditch the white wine in favour of real ale. In the revival kitchen she cooks with ale to prove just what a great addition it can be to a number of dishes.
We're boring when it comes to cooking our carrots, and Michelin starred chef Michael Caines wants to change this. He searches out some glorious heritage varieties and finds out how carrots helped to win a world war. In the revival kitchen he makes the carrot the star of the show in three mouth watering dishes.
