Ask The Chef Nigel Smith
Preston-born Nigel Smith worked in award-winning restaurants across the country before setting up his own Nigel Smith's Restaurant at Ribby Hall in Wrea Green. His career has included stints working with Albert Roux, Paul Heathcote and Anton Edelmann at the Savoy, as well as hosting his own TV series. Nigel has teamed up with Sugarvine to answer your cookery questions:
Ask Nigel Smith your question.Simon Rimmer once said you cannot always trust a restaurant that puts a 'V' vegetarian symbol next to a dish as these dishes will often contain non-vegetarian cheese, stocks, sauces and oils. In my limited catering experience (sandwich shop and outside caterers) I do have to agree with Simon with the general opinion of my superiors being that as long as the dish doesn't contain "real meat" then it is suitable for all. How much care do restaurants take to ensure all vegetarian dishes are actually suitable for vegetarians? - Denise
