About this deal

While there are more Grand Tour episodes ahead, May has - alongside his newfound telly cheffing career - just bought "half a pub". Celebrating the publication of the revised edition of English Wine, below are details of where you can come see Oz Clarke this autumn for a spot of wine tasting and a chat about the book. is a fool-proof manual packed with more than 60 delicious recipes for even the most basic of home cooks. I don't want to be in a village where there isn't a pub within walking distance, that would make life utterly pointless.

This was a week that urgently needed light relief, so cometh the hour, cometh the James May, erstwhile Top Gear amigo, the id to Richard Hammond’s ego (with no prizes for guessing who the super-ego might be in this formulation). The parmesan grater he’s using is one he’s had since his student days (which suggests a greater degree of kitchen aptitude than pretended, but consistency of narrative is evidently not deemed a vital ingredient here).I thought I might plough a little bit of it and have a go at growing potatoes or parsnips, something that I imagine would be quite easy - it probably isn't. This recipe celebrates the Teutonic classic — a sausage drenched in spicy sauce, often consumed following a night at a bierkeller.
