Farm to Feast: Best Menu Wins Season 1 Episode 2

Hosted by Eamonn Holmes and introducing Michelin star chef Danni Barry and food critic Joris Minne as judges, Farm To Feast: Best Menu Wins is a cookery competition celebrating award-winning produce from farms and fisheries across Northern Ireland.

Across the series, seven amateur cooks move into a castle in Fermanagh, where they live with and compete against each other, until one is crowned the winner. Episodes one to four begin with a reveal of two key ingredients, from which the contestants create a menu for one small and one large dish. Danni and Joris pick their favourite three – determining the identity of the three cooks who will battle it out in the kitchen. Those not picked, observe from the side-lines and get a chance to try again next time.

With one semi-finalist through, Danni and Joris enjoy a chance to see what’s on the menu when the six remaining contestants are faced with award-winning oysters from Carlingford Lough and historic lumper potatoes from the Glens of Antrim. Which of them can take ingredients from field and shore and turn them into a memorable menu for a mouth-watering meal… and a place in the semi-final?
