Watch as Britain’s top chefs steer amateur cooks through the minefield of home entertaining.

The incredibly popular Friends For Dinner, sends one of Britain’s best chefs into an ordinary kitchen to help eight willing novices prepare a gourmet feast.

    You will find that recipe in his cookbook called "New Brittish Classics" the cover of the book has a basically black/grey cover with Gary in front standing out in white. If you can not afford to buy it - Go to your library they may have it in OR they may borrow it from another library for you Good luck Vanessa I did try the UK Good food channel with no luck whatsoever I too would Love the recipe I did tape the show, basically you cut chicken fillets into 1" strips lay them down sideways on foil, the stuffing is the rest of the chicken, minced with spices, then rolled up tightly like a salami, After chilling you cut up into serving pieces, tie with string & bake.When you unwrap I saw Gary spoon over the Mushroom sauce Anyway I hope you can find the book Krystyna

    DW49 as you say his foul mouth is too much for you but you love his food. each to their own. at least you give him credit for his talent. i personally dont mind the swearing as it is his character he portrays. but i agree that not everyone feels that way. BUT no one can deny his talent

    Quite realistically I don't watch the shows as I believe the "F" word is simply a poor substitute in language for not being able to articulate the spoken word effectively and politely. Great cooking, great food, lousy temper and foul mouth - No thanks.
