Chefs at home - what London's chefs are cooking for themselves during lockdown (29 May)
Catherine Hanly
Looking for inspiration during lockdown? With chefs at home rather than in their restaurant kitchens, many of them are showing just what's possible to knock up in your own home. We've picked five of the best examples we've spotted on Instagram from the past week.
Alex Szrok - head pastry chef St John Smithfield
Sadly, there's no recipe attached for Alex's freaking amazing looking lemon meringue pie, but it's a feast for the eyes anyway!
Fancy giving a new type of noodle a try? Then Anais's recipe for Shanxi buckwheat noodles definitely sounds worth a go - as long as you've got a potato ricer to hand.
Making the most of the early summer bounty, chef Chris Leach may not be able to serve this up at Manteca at the moment, but creativity doesn't stop just because a restaurant is closed. The recipe for this plate of asparagus, dill mint, preserved lemon and cured egg yolk can be found here.
Paying homage to his favourite restaurant Bright, chef and restaurant owner Nicholas ordered a huge pork chop from suppliers Swaledale Foods and salad from Keats Farm - all available from the deli at Bright restaurant - and made this at home.
Maria partnered up with fellow chef, MasterChef winner Irina Tzortzoglou for a cookalong this week, which is where the two of them made this heavenly sounding fig leaf mahalepi and kataifi wrapped stuffed figs.
