We Grow Our OwnThe trials and successes of life on our allotment

A little while ago, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a contestant on ‘Britain’s Best Dish’ and I will be appearing on tomorrow night’s show on ITV at 5pm.

I’m cooking a starter of Thai spiced mackerel with a cucumber relish using my own homegrown chillies!

I’m looking forward to seeing it, but also terrified in equal measures, because like everyone else, it is the first time I will have seen how I look on TV. It will also be the first time I will have heard the Judge’s criticisms and feedback on my dish, as we were taken outside to do interviews while they tasted it.

I’m going to do another blog post tomorrow night giving my thoughts on my fifteen minutes of fame, as I can’t say much more without giving away what happened.

So you will just have to watch it to find out how I got on …. but also think of me cringing watching it on my sofa at home at the same time!
