The dish is one of the most downloaded from the Great British Chefs collections and can be replicated with “great success” at home.
Josh and his team will hand prepare ingredient boxes of locally sourced produce, which will contain everything needed for the cook-a-long.
The box, which costs £55, will feed two and include a dessert of Chew Valley Dairy elderflower cream, marinated strawberries and herbs from the Pony & Trap garden.
