Congratulations to Glynn Purnell for getting through to the second round of the latest series of Great British Menu.

In the new series' first programme, screened on BBC2 tonight, he prepared a modern version of cheese and pineapple on a stick and an offbeat version of pork and apple complete with pig's trotter nuggets. It was food I sampled with the show's presenter Matthew Fort and it was fabulous - an explosion of colours, textures and flavours that worked off each other brilliantly.

The dishes were typical of the inventive, amusing and thoroughly enjoyable food served at Glynn's new(ish) restaurant Purnell's in Cornwall Street in the city centre. It's been a while since I last ate there but I'm determined to put that right soon.
