Adam Brown recently won the prestigious UK Visionary Chef of the Year award for his innovative Tangerine Snowball iced dessert. But the head chef at Brockencote Hall in Worcestershire can also knock out a delicious meal of turkey leftovers with a nice spin on traditional bubble and squeak.
Kevin Viner became the first chef in Cornwall to win a Michelin star and was named Chef of the Decade by the AA. In January he’s joining the Rose in Vale Country House Hotel on Cornwall’s North Coast – but not before passing on a culinary tip to spice up Boxing Day.
