"Thank you, you saved my Mrs! I'd love to buy you a Chinese" - my main course recipe for Great British Menu 2018

"Thank you, you saved my Mrs! I'd love to buy you a Chinese" - my main course recipe for Great British Menu 2018
For the Main Course, I wanted to thank the heroes of the Great North Air Ambulance Service. They airlifted my partner to safety after a horrendous road accident she suffered and helped in saving her life! She was hit by a car and left in a coma for eight days but has made a great recovery thanks to the amazing work by all involved in her rescue. If it were not for the Air Ambulance Service’s quick reaction, we would never have met or had our beautiful son Thomas whom has just turned one year old! Being a chef means I don’t often have a lot of time to host dinner parties, so, if we are entertaining guests, we like to order a takeaway! Our favourite...Chinese Food! This is my version of my partner’s favourite dish from our local shop and what I would have ordered for all the heroes who save the lives of people everyday! I hope to have the opportunity to thank you with this meal!! A Chinese inspired spicy beef & broccoli dish made with the finest Northumbrian Wagyu Beef and flavours and textures of Asia.
