Ching-He Huang celebrates the hot and spicy flavours of Sichuan.

Ching-He Huang celebrates the hot and spicy flavours of Sichuan cooking by using easy-to-find ingredients and delicious contemporary twists on authentic recipes.

Ching-He Huang continues her celebration of the hot and spicy flavours of Sichuan cookery by using easy-to-find ingredients and delicious contemporary twists on authentic recipes. Ching-He cooks zesty chilli tiger prawns for people who know all about heat - a group of firemen from the north-west of England. Ching also visits one of the most northerly chilli farms in the world which, remarkably, is in Chorley in Lancashire.

She is even more surprised to discover that chilli farmer Richard Alker throws away half of his crop each year because he's unable to sell his chillies locally. Taking her 'Chillies For Chorley' campaign onto the streets, Ching sets up a stall at Chorley Market to prove that Richard's locally produced chillies can be delicious and versatile, demonstrating a delicious and easy-to-make chilli chicken recipe.

She shows fireman chef Robbie Birtwhistle how to prepare fragrant pork with rice - a dish that will allow him to feed his fire-fighting brigade on a budget and between call-outs, and that is perfect for anyone who wants a simple, value-for-money recipe that can be cooked in stages. 

Ching also prepares a mouth-watering Sichuan orange beef and a spicy warm bacon and cucumber salad before demonstrating the preparation of one of the ultimate dishes of authentic Sichuan cuisine, spicy Sichuan hot pot.

Anjum Anand heads off to Cornwall to meet self-taught chefs Nirmal and Louis who run the The Little Cornish Curry Company. Originally from Birmingham, for the last few years they have been serving up curry at the farmers markets near where they live as well as catering for the odd event.

But now they are about to face a new test. Local pub The Galleon Inn is launching a curry night with Louis and Nirmal doing the food. They have decided that the best way to convert the customers to Indian food is to start with a regional favourite - fish. However Louis and Nirmal haven't used fish in Indian food much, so first up Anjum takes them to famous Looe fish market where the fish is officially the freshest in Britain.

Having chosen some fantastic Pollock, Anjum shows them how to make a rich, flavoursome South Indian coconut fish curry with a side order of yellow lemon rice and crab cakes garnished with tangy tamarind mayonnaise.
