When it comes to taste, there's one flavour which Tommy puts above all else - Umami! And there's lots of places to find it. In this episode Tommy reveals the secret to creating delicious blackened food which provides a real flavour hit. From garlic to apple and even beetroot - he's got jars of blackened produce ready to work into the menu.

His guest this week is the host of Great British Menu and a friend of Tommy's - Andi Oliver. But it's the first time she's been up to try Tommy's food in his own restaurant. And she'll be made to work for her supper, preparing some apples and taking a look around the restaurants Palace of Preserves.

After tasting some ingredients Tommy and Andi sit down to talk about her up-coming cook-book, how she got the job to host Great British Menu, and her own food heritage, as well as finding out Andi's favourite seasonal ingredients.
