MARK MORIARTY: OFF DUTY CHEF

In this new series Mark aims to inspire and encourage home cooks to get the foundations of cookery right. In tonight’s first episode he begins with a classic carbonara with a cheffy trick for serving up. Then it’s on to one of his favourites, a deliciously simple yet elegant carrot cake. In his ‘How to Perfect’ segment, he’ll be demonstrating why he only ever uses two knives at home and will be bringing it back to basics with some very useful knife skills. To put these skills to good use, Mark will be whipping up individual shepherd’s pies and peas with mint, lemon and feta.
