Raymond Blanc: Simply Raymond and The Lost Orchard

This week, Gilly is with Raymond Blanc OBE, and it's been a big
year for him. His beloved mother, known affectionately as Maman
Blanc died while suffering from COVID, he survived a very serious
dose of COVID  himself through which he learned, finally,
to meditate. And he’s released not one but two books – The Lost
Orchard in which he lovingly reintroduces us to the apples and
pears of our British heritage, and Simply Raymond an homage to his
mother and her simple but delicious rustic cooking. As Gilly zooms
into le Manoir, she finds him in reflective mood, celebrating the
legacy of Maman and Papa Blanc, the role of Le Manoir in British
culinary history and planting trees with Prince Charles.
