Note about Cabernet Grape Powder
Written by Richard Bertinet
March 10th, 2008
My recipe for Cabernet bread on page 89 of CRUST calls for 180g of cabernet powder. When I came to make the bread recently I found that our current stocks of the powder are stronger than those that were available when I wrote the book and that I only needed half the amount specified in the recipe. We will make a change in any subsequent editions of the book.

All this week on Great British Menu on BBC2 at 6.30pm you can watch Chris Horridge from The Bath Priory doing battle with Elisha Carter from Sharpham Park to win a place representing the South West at a dinner hosted by Heston Blumenthal at the iconic Gherkin in London. With very different cooking styles, it promises to be an interesting week's viewing. Tonight they cook their meat courses, tomorrow pudding and on Friday they present their whole menu to judges Matthew Fort, Prue Leith and Oliver Peyton. If you like the look of Chris' unique "three dimensional cooking" you can learn more about his philosophy and create your own beautiful and healthy menu on our Great British Menu Michelin starred Masterclass with Chris Horridge on Thursday 5 June at 10am. Book now online.
