with Davilia David and David Mabey. 5: West Meets East
The Far East has a pickling tradition just as powerful as our own, though the pickling process is often unfamiliar and the baby crabs and grasshoppers encountered in this programme are not everyone's idea of a perfect pickle! But there is much to learn from the kitchens of Singapore, Thailand and Japan. Henry Tan, Philip Harris and Lesley Downer introduce you to a whole new world of pickles, and food-writer Colin Spencer , 'a passionate pickler', shows how to combine the flavours of the East with the produce of a traditional English garden.
