Prue Leith's Cotswold Kitchen

In her kitchen, Prue is joined by food critic Jimi Famurewa, who explains that he dislikes the inclusion of fruit in savoury dishes. She then prepares a serving of coronation chicken for him, hoping to change his mind about the combination.

The episode features food critic Jimi Famurewa as the central guest, appearing alongside host Prue in a cooking‑focused programme. Set within Prue's own kitchen, the segment offers a straightforward, hands‑on look at culinary preferences and experimentation. As a programme, it centres on the interaction between a professional critic and a home cook, providing viewers with a glimpse into how personal tastes can shape the preparation of a dish. In the kitchen, Jimi makes clear his strong aversion to fruit being used in savoury recipes. He explains that the sweetness of fruit clashes with the flavours he expects in a main course, and he voices this dislike quite directly to Prue. This candid admission sets the stage for a culinary challenge, as Prue decides to test whether a classic dish that traditionally incorporates fruit can win him over. To persuade Jimi, Prue prepares coronation chicken, a dish that traditionally blends cooked chicken with a creamy, fruit‑laden sauce. She assembles the ingredients in front of him, aiming to demonstrate how the fruit can complement rather than overpower the savoury elements. Throughout the cooking process, she engages Jimi in conversation, hoping the familiar flavours of the coronation chicken will shift his perspective on fruit in savoury meals.
