Ten programmes celebrating areas of excellence in the British arts.
Prue Leith creates original extravagant dishes for the customers at her elegant London restaurant, and she is the woman who introduced brown bread to the British Rail sandwich. Her cookery school trains professional chefs and her flourishing catering business provides both stylish dinners for two and banquets on a royal scale.
From Sunday lunch at her farm to dinner at her restaurant, we show that she is a cook who continues to be delighted by good food, and who cares equally about the perfection of turbot stuffed with lobster and the quality of a cheese sandwich.
