Behind the Pass with Luke Selby - Part 2: In the Orchards at Le Manoir

Having last week been shown around the kitchen at Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons by executive chef Luke Selby, in this episode we venture outside to the restaurant's own orchard to meet head orchard gardener Paula Fleming. With 2500 trees growing in the orchard, producing hundreds of different heritage varieties of apples and pears, Paula and Luke have to work closely together to identify the right varieties to use in specific dishes – in this case, in a salmon and apple starter and a towering pear dessert.
