Michael Buerk
Chef Brian Turner takes celebrities back to their youth, using the power of food to jog colourful memories. Michael Buerk reflects on the food of his childhood.
Although Michael Buerk was born in Solihull, it's Hereford where he feels his life really began as far as food is concerned.
From the unpromising 1950s fare of tinned spaghetti, overcooked cabbage and grey peas cooked by his mother and grandmother, to the delicious wholesome food he found on his girlfriend's family table, Michael has never looked back.
Brian finds plenty of inspiration in Michael's stories of his youth, as well as in the bountiful Herefordshire fields, to produce two tantalising dishes which put his guest's life on a plate.
