Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver will serve a dinner of Scottish organic salmon, Welsh lamb and a traditional Bakewell Tart for G-20 leaders at the prime minister’s residence Wednesday.
Oliver will use traditional ingredients and recipes inspired from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands for the dinner at 10 Downing Street, a statement on his Web site said. Oliver will cook the meal along with a team of young chefs from the apprentice program at his London restaurant, Fifteen. Because some guests have special dietary requirements, Oliver said he will be offering vegetarian options for both a starter and the main course. Here is the menu, as published on Oliver’s Web site: Baked Scottish Salmon with Seashore Vegetables, Broad Beans, Herb Garden Salad, Mayonnaise and Wild Garlic-scented Irish Soda bread.
