Michel Roux Jnr got all worked up about froths and foams, while Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall waxed lyrical about the trend for people growing their own. Fergus Henderson told me about the time he got served a half-raw sheep’s brain in New York, and Mark Hix sung the praises of our ever-improving British producers. You can read the whole article here.
