Jamie Oliver has a feast planned for G20 leaders



Part of the script is below

Jamie Oliver will serve up a dinner for the G20 leaders which honours the best of British food.

The meal, prepared by young chefs from the his Fifteen restaurant, will begin with organic salmon from Shetland, served with samphire and sea kale, a selection of vegetables from Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and Irish soda bread.

For the main course, the celebrity chef will offer slow-roasted shoulder of lamb from the Elwy Valley in north Wales, with Jersey Royal potatoes, wild mushrooms and mint sauce.

Dessert will be the classic Bakewell tart and custard.

The vegetarian option will include a goat's cheese starter and lovage and potato dumplings for the main course.

Oliver said: "I'm very, very proud of my country and its food traditions and I know that the guests at Downing Street will be in for a real treat."

The chef's wife Jools is due to give birth to their third child imminently, but he is still planning to lead his team at Number 10. It is the third time he has cooked there.
