Chef Paul Merrett pays tribute to milk, our number one source of calcium, and whips up a classic custard tart, a delicious fish pie and the perfect cappuccino.

Chef Paul Merrett finds out how Genghis Khan fuelled his army on milk, why milk was made free to generations of school children and how calcium in milk can help you loose weight as part of a calorie controlled diet, as well as being essential to keep astronauts healthy in space.
But as well as being good for you, Paul demonstrates how tasty and versatile this daily favourite really is with a classic custard tart, a mouth-watering fish pie and the perfect cappuccino to top it off.
