Hugh's 3 Good Things - S1 - E22

It's day two of store cupboard week and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, River Cottage star chef Tim Maddams and Leon founder Allegra McEvedy are all cooking with nuts. Hugh's plumped for walnuts to make baklava, as well as some hazelnuts to stir in with ricotta and honeycomb to make a simple but delicious pudding. He's not the only one with his hands in the hazelnut jar though, as Tim uses them to make melt-in-the-mouth macaroons, while Allegra knocks up a chestnut brittle mixed with cider-soaked prunes and yoghurt.
