Wine
Raymond dedicates this episode to his favourite tipple - wine.

Raymond also visits a local winery - Hundred Hills Vineyard - to prove you don't have to travel internationally for the best wine, it's right here on our doorstep in the heart of the English countryside.

Raymond shares recipes for salads, soups and side dishes, including his take on Nordic specialty pickled herrings, served with a warm potato salad and mustard dressing. Fellow chef and old friend Paul Ainsworth visits and cooks up a sensuous Tuscan pressure pot broth.
