Prawn and Fennel Bisque

With his proud, football-mad Liverpudlian dad clocking up over 60 years in professional kitchens, two things were pretty clear for John Jones from a young age. One - that he was going to become a chef, and two - that he was going to follow the reds of Liverpool.

The recipe I’m sharing is a prawn and fennel bisque, which is a dish I picked up and fell in love with when I was working in Spain. My time over there opened my eyes to seafood as it was so fresh, varied and at our fingertips each and every day. The Country Range Cooking Wine and Olive Oil help provide depth of flavour.”
