Simon Rimmer who runs award-winning Didsbury restuarant Greens, and Hale restaurant Earle, dropped into MHSG to film a new cookery show which hopes to solve everyday kitchen crises.

He enjoyed his visit so much that he's already planning a return when he will give pupils a master class in the finer skills of cooking.

Simon, who is a regular presenter on the BBC's 'Something for the Weekend', still remembers taking cookery lessons: "Rock buns were the first thing I ever cooked at school and I do still have the recipe. Some of the things I cooked then worked - some didn't. Whatever I took home, my parents thought it was the best thing in the world!"
