Television opportunities

Entirely un-cheese related - have you been approached about hosting a cookery programme and do you think you'd have a) the interest or b) the time?

Hello Lisa,

I have made a six part television series screened on the Discovery channel.

Although the series was screened last month, there are plans to show it again before christmas.

It was called Kitchen chemistry and covered many elements of the science of cooking and psychology of flavour.

We took over a kitchen in a house about two hundred metres from the restaurant. We filmed from about 8am to 12pm when I popped back to the restaurant for an hour to check on the lunch service and then filmed again from about 1.30pmto 6.30pm when I finished to cover evening service.

It was pretty hard work but it was putting important information accross to the general public so it was an important thing to do.
