Three Manchester-based chefs are all set to represent the North West in the new series of The Great British Menu. Brazilian-born, Manchester-based Caroline Martins will be returning for her second stint on the show.
Martins is known for her Sao Paulo Project, a pop-up which has taken in locations like the Blossom Street Social in Ancoats, and more recently Exhibition, the new food hall off Peter Street based in Manchester’s old Natural History Museum.
Her food is a fusion of Brazilian and British influences, and she appeared on the Great British menu on the last series of the show in 2022, though her dishes didn’t make it to the show’s final banquet.
