Behind the Pass with Luke Selby – Part 1: Modernising the Classics at Le Manoir

We travel to Raymond Blanc's legendary two-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons to meet executive chef Luke Selby. In this episode of Behind the Pass, Luke explains how, in honour of the restaurant's forty year anniversary, he's been working closely with chef Raymond to modernise and reinvent dishes that first were conceptualised for the menu back in the eighties. A classic scallop dish is a given an Asian spin by Luke, whilst liquid nitrogen is at the ready for a memorable plate of venison.
