Catch me on Ainsley Harriott’s new show, Saturday 22nd June at 11.40am on ITV1
This Africana is cooking with the legendary Ainsley Harriott on his new fabulous show, Ainsley’s National Trust, Cook-off. The new show is set in the most beautiful gardens in the UK, protected by the National Trust. And it’s a cook-off with chef Freddie Forster and I. Filming was such fun and Ainsley is pure sunshine and warmth.
When I got the call from my agents that I was invited onto the show, I was shocked, excited and ready!
I had met Ainsley a few months prior, backstage after cooking live at Pub in the park. I suppose I warmed up the crowd, ahead of his session and he said, “aren’t you the “Africana girl”, as he had my book. I do love being called Africana!
Super professional, kind, effervescent and a joy to work with, I had a wonderful time working with Ainsley. Picking our ingredients from the gardens was joyous and I hope you will be inspired by our recipes. Now we can all watch it on the big screen! After the show airs I’ll share the recipes with you.
Join us for a spectacular alfresco feast of inventive flavours with freshly picked produce from the lush gardens. You can watch as it airs on television in the UK or through catch up via the ITVX app. I hope you enjoy and do let me know your thoughts in the comments.
