Prestwich chef Danielle Heron has got through to the national finals of this year’s series of the Great British Menu. Danielle beat Chester-based chef Laszlo Nagy in the regional heat to head through to try and get a spot on the final banquet.
“I’m blown away,” she said on the show. “I’ve got a lot more work to do, that’s for sure, but it feels amazing. It really, really does. I can’t wait to tell my mum.”
Her main course dish was the one that clinched it for her, a Chinese-inspired steamed chicken with spring rolls, homemade sesame noodles with chilli and peanut sauce. It was inspired by the animated series of Paddington Bear, in which he holds a surprise Chinese New Year feast.
