YES CHEF! Issue 8 is out

05-Jan-08 - Issue 8 is out today, and in the editor's letter I recall how there were those who said we wouldn't last three issues... Well, they do say that the best revenge is to succeed, and we've just completed our second full year. Issue 8 has a major feature with half a dozen gastropubs about whether they feel that the economic downturn might be a blessing in disguise, as customers 'trade down' from the more high-profile restaurants; an interview with Simon Hulstone of The Elephant in Torquay, who won Knorr Chef of the Year at the Restaurant Show in October last; and a look behind the scenes of TV's Market Kitchen. We revisit Lyon and look at its two-star restaurants, and this issue's ingredients (and recipes) are wild boar, scallops, and rice, the staple of half the world. You can subscribe with a credit card at the YES CHEF! website.
