Cook: 15 minutes
Q&A with emily bonner
How did you learn to cook?
I learnt to cook by following cookbooks, reading blogs, watching Masterchef and many other cooking programs like Saturday Kitchen Live. I became interested in fine dining and got ideas from restaurants I'd been to and was inspired by my travels in Europe and Asia.
What is your favourite type of food?
My favourite type of food is small plates of any type of cuisine. I think that's because I like to try lots of different things rather than one big plate of food. I'm that annoying person in a restaurant who wants to try other people's food. It's hard for me to pick out a particular cuisine because I love so many and enjoy trying things I've never eaten before.
What's your favourite dish to cook?
My favourite dish to cook - is any kind of flaky white fish with a delicious creamy sauce, which involves slowly sweating down onions or shallots and garlic. I just love the smell! I think there's something so simple but elegant about fish with an epic sauce. That's something I took away from a trip to Nathan Outlaw's restaurant in Port Isaac.
What would be your last meal on earth?
My last meal on earth would be scallops for starter, then duck confit, dauphinoise potatoes and a sticky red wine sauce for main and chocolate fondant with ice cream for dessert.
