The Lakes On A Plate

By Alison Park, 25 June 2010 – 7 comments

There was a change from the usual routine this morning when we were filmed for a new TV series: The Lakes On A Plate. Peter Sidwell, chef owner from Keswick's Simply Good Taste Cafe and Cookery School is going to be cooking with produce he is shown collecting around the county. He promises "some amazing new and exciting dishes." It was funny watching the filming process. They actually do say "... and... ACTION"

The Lakes On A Plate from 6th of September Channel 4; Monday to Friday at 3pm for 4 weeks.

    At last...a really top quality programme showing clearly how only the tastiest results can be achieved...and, of course, the scenery is completely spectacular. Thanks for this. I look forward to more episodes and can't wait to get back to my homeland to try the recipes. In fact I'll practise them first here in Northamptonshire although I know it will not be quite the same without the local Lakeland produce. Love it!

    Really enjoying the programme, i discovered it was on last monday, so have set to record the rest of the series. Peter has made some really tasty looking dishes, and the use of freshly locally sourced produce, and showing that you can take the food out with you as oppsed to sandwiches. Myself and our family absolutely love anything to do with the lake district, the scenery being so superb. I will certainly will be using some of the recipes shown.

    Great series, v good balance with the Lakeland context. I particularly like the little preparation tips. Inspiring to visit the Lakes even more often.
