Donal Skehan : Kitchen Hero TV Series

Monday 23rd April  6pm   The Good Food Channel

Donal Skehan's debut TV series finally hits UK screens this month after a successful run in his native Ireland. Named after and based on recipes from his second book Kitchen Hero, Donal dishes up a variety of delicious and easy to follow recipes that will get everyone cooking. I flew over to join him for the last few days of filming to shoot behind the scenes (and fill my belly).

With his third book due to be published later this month and a second TV series on its way, this is going to be another big year for the talented cook, writer and photographer. If you can't wait until the 23rd, here's a taste of what's to come...

The Toon Waal

The best Pub in Newcastle (probably)
Located on Pink Lane just opposite Newcastle Central train station, The Town Wall is housed inside a beautiful grade 2 listed building on a site which once formed part of the twenty-four wards, fortifying the original city boundaries.

The Wall opened earlier this year and immediately became my new favourite watering hole with a brilliant selection of local and international beers and ales. The locally sourced food menu covers everything from breakfast to light bites and proper pub lunches. The Sunday roast is pretty special too.

Apple & Plum Crumble

For the first time in 5 years the apple tree in my garden has burst into life with an abundance of eatable fruit, probably due to the miserable wet summer we've had. I'm sick of the lack of sun and heat, and the final straw came on Friday when my heating turned itself on. Ridiculous! 

Having given up on the summer I'm looking ahead to my favourite season Autumn and the warming comfort food that comes with it. Inspired by the apples on my tree I decided to cheer myself up by making a delicious, warming Apple and Plum Crumble. Up yours Summer!
