| Lifting the Lid with Jay Rayner |
Can the Observer's restaurant critic and novelist cut the mustard in our Lifting the Lid feature?
What is your favourite dish? I do not have a favourite dish... perhaps a plate of spare ribs or a French stew, brilliant sushi.....What do you feel is your signature dish? The term signature dish p****s me off. But I do a cracking Pork and Chorizo Stew, my own recipe. It's a dish built on classic Spanish principles.How do you relax? Any pass times or hobbies? I relax at the piano. I am a mediocre to ok jazz pianist. I try and play at weekends - 2 or 3 hours a day.What’s your foodie weakness? Pork Scratchings....... even low quality ones. I've even got them on the One Show three times already. What is your motto? If I become the kind of person with a motto, kill me now. What’s for lunch? Absolutely no idea. As I'm getting all my writing done, I'll have probably a salad of some kind. What's on your plate? There's lots of TV and I'm working on a longer piece of writing beyond what I do in the newspapers. |
