This year Alex Greene scored a double win on the TV show Great British Menu, with his starter and his dessert. His starter, called The potato, the onion, the cheese and the wardrobe, was based on Irish ingredients, including Ballymakenny potatoes. Greene grew up in a farming environment and has a passion for local ingredients and a soft spot for potatoes. 2 For the cheese custard, place all the cheeses, grated, in a pot with the whole milk, full fat cream and a few cloves of garlic. 4 Finely chop up some chives and cut the spring onions into nice 1cm thick rounds.
