Famous TV chef Gordon Ramsay struggled to keep his cool as a Welsh contestant on his new show Future Food Stars served honey to vegans. Working in a team Asher Flowers from the Rhondda Valley, who you can read more about here, included honey in one of their 'vegan' recipes.
Future Food Stars sees the 12 of the UK's best up-and-coming food and drink entrepreneurs compete for Gordon's investment. Tasked with feeding 12 paying guests a beautiful al fresco dining experience, which would test their hospitality and cooking skills, Gordon wanted his guests "blown away" by the experience. Asher and his team did not get off to good start when they told their guests the starter was vegan when there was actually honey in it.
The confusion started when the red team split into the cooking and front-of-house roles and stopped communicating with each other. Asher served up his gazpacho canape which he assured guests was vegan when directly asked by one of the guests. He said: "It's all vegan yes. We've taken care of all dietary requirements."
