Raymond Blanc's Kitchen Secrets

Series 1

Episode 8: Tomatoes

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Legendary chef Raymond Blanc welcomes the cameras into his kitchen to share his cooking secrets. Filmed in the lively surroundings of his Oxfordshire restaurant kitchen, this programme features a range of achievable and inspirational recipes for cooks of all abilities.

Raymond focuses on tomatoes, opening with a simple recipe for a salad inspired by his mother. The lightest tomato essence is not only a dish in itself, it forms the base of a fresh yet creamy risotto. A supper dish of stuffed tomatoes glazed with cheese takes us back in time and for the finale an impressive tomato-themed series of ices and sorbets cleanses the palate with elegance.

Along the way, Raymond visits the UK's tomato capital, Preston, to challenge the world of hydroponically grown tomatoes to prove their worth. Show less
