A POPULAR TV chef is to head up the cast of culinary wizards dishing up some top tips at this summer's Malvern Three Counties Countryside Show.

Lesley Walters from Ready Steady Cook will be rolling up her sleeves for an exciting programme of demonstrations in the Heart of England Fine Foods Cookery Theatre.

The former cookery instructor, who studied French cuisine and was one of the main presents on Can't Cook Won't Cook, will be at the countryside show on Saturday and Sunday June 14 and 15.

"The Cookery Theatre is the centre piece of the Regional Food and Wine Pavilion, and a favourite feature for many visitors," said PR Officer Sharon Gilbert.

"We are extremely grateful to Heart of England Fine Foods who have pledged their support this year."
