8: S1 Ep 8: All things vinegar with Sam Britten + gooseberry tart + hogweed
Listen now
Description
In this show we speak to Sam Britten of Orkney Craft Vinegar. His products are a world away from what you’d usually pick up in the supermarket and chef James Martin is a huge fan. We learn what vinegar really is, how best to cook with it, how you can use it in a cocktail, plus some of the interesting new flavours Sam is working such as a smoky red dulse flavour and a gooseberry vinegar as well.    So speaking of gooseberries, Orkney is full of the spikey bushes and Sam chose these tart berries for me to create my weekly recipe – my gooseberry tart with elderflower cream – which you’ll hear after my chat with him.    Lastly forager Imogen speaks about hogweed, a versatile green with more protein in the leaves than curly kale.     https://www.doorstepkitchen.com/recipes/gooseberries  https://www.orkneycraftvinegar.com/  https://www.highlandparkwhisky.com/  https://www.nativerestaurant.co.uk/   Some of the chefs and bartenders that use Sam’s vinegar:  https://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/  Gareth Ward at https://ynyshir.co.uk/  https://chefbradcarter.co.uk/  http://www.eamonrockey.com/  https://mrlyan.com/
