Jay Rayner and the panel are in Hastings in front of a live audience who are in need of answers to their kitchen conundrums. Joining Jay to offer their best advice are chefs, cooks and food writers Melissa Thompson, Sophie Wright and Shelina Permalloo, alongside resident food historian Dr Annie Gray. Jay welcomes local fishmonger, Sonny Elliot from Rock-A-Nor Fisheries to give a flavour of the local fish while the panel suggest uses for a bottle of advocaat and tackle one of the trickiest of questions… is life too short to peel a pineapple? Also, with the Battle of Hastings serving as inspiration, they turn their taste buds to Normandy, and in particular, the delicious cream produced in the region.
