At The Table With Gail

Who says real men don't eat caramelised onion, feta and bacon quiche? More fool them. Perhaps a saucy meatloaf sounds more masculine? No question of who eats a no-bake choc-caramel cheese cake. And all topped off with a middle eastern spinach sauce or a citrus and yoghurt sauce.

This week's four course offering starts with a creamy spinach soup, followed by a meaty mushroom bourguinon, vegan vanilla cupcakes and after all that, if you have the room, pumpkin and golden syrup pie. This week's music inspiration comes from the humble onion in the spinach soup with a touch of La Francaise from the bourguinon The result of this mixture is a stirring rendition of Napoleon Boneparte's Onion March circa 1800 accompanied (silently) by Gail and her marching band pom poms.Presented by Gail Hall with co-hosts Peter or Catherine, Gail presents a wide range of recipes from the decadently delicious through to gorgeously healthy eating.

Then, more suited to breakfast, a Green Goddess Frittata, topped with courgette flowers followed by Baked Tamarillos and all rounded off with a Banana Brittle Upside Down cake.
