What is shaping up to be a huge summer for Great Britain, there will be another UK first. Ocado will play sous chef to some of our biggest culinary stars, bringing the nation exciting and interactive cooking experiences.

As part of the online grocer’s new taste partnership with the premium recipe website, Great British Chefs, three of the UK’s finest chefs have featured in a live Mealtime Masterclasses via a pioneering online streaming method.

With esteemed food writer and critic, Matthew Fort, compering proceedings, the masterclasses will see the chefs, all of whom have been awarded Michelin Stars, creating new takes on classic British dishes:

• Galton Blackiston, Morston Hall, Norfolk – Quail Scotch Eggs
• Simon Hulstone, The Elephant, Torquay – Curried Chicken Kiev
• Josh Eggleton, The Pony & Trap, Bristol – Pimm’s Jelly
