I blow hot and cold with food television. I watched all of MasterChef last year, but this year simply cannot be bothered. Last year’s eventual winner, Tim Anderson, was a safe bet of reaching the final from when we first saw him. Sara Danesin, wowed John and Gregg by lifting her excellent Italian cooking to the level of fine dining, and becoming a finalist has enabled her to leave her job as an intensive care sister and establish a new career in food.
I was delighted to receive an invitation from Garofalo Pasta, to have lunch with Sara in her beautiful home in the shadow of York Minster and to talk about pasta, recipes and MasterChef.
