Members of the team from Northumberland’s Restaurant Pine will take centre stage in the latest episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars on BBC One (first aired Thursday April 27 at 9pm and available on iPlayer).
The team help multi-Michelin starred chef, restaurateur, broadcaster and writer Gordon whittle down the remaining contestants in episode five of Future Food Stars, as he searches for his next business partner.
Each week Gordon sets the contestants a series of intense challenges designed to test their character and showcase their business skills as he chooses who he will invest in and help take their business to the next level.
The latest episode is no exception as Gordon and the contenders travel to the Lake District to test how well they can turn humble ingredients into a profit.
In the Cumbrian countryside, Gordon meets up with Cal Byerley, chef patron of Northumberland’s Michelin-starred Restaurant Pine, as he demonstrates his pastry skills with his signature Pine-infused mille-feuille.
To be able to replicate the dessert, the budding entrepreneurs are tasked with climbing 40ft-tall trees to gather 100 pine needles and 25 perfect pine cones in just 20 minutes before infusing these key ingredients into their mille-feuilles.
