Inevitably, though, he simply can't help searching out the finest local ingredients and regional recipes to bring home, so his quest for rest and relaxation turns into a research and development mission. He throws himself into haggis-hunting in the Borders and char-fishing on Lake Coniston, tirelessly pursues the finest Cumbrian damsons and the original Yorkshire curd tart, as well as cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes with the talented regional cooks he meets on his travels. On the way home, he even stops off in Birmingham to investigate the delights of curried goat.
