Jay Rayner and his panel of chefs, cooks and writers are in Chester for the first of a new series of The Kitchen Cabinet.

Joining Jay are restaurateur Nisha Katona, chefs Sophie Wright and Rob Owen Brown, and food historian Dr Annie Gray.

The panel offer their best tips and tricks to solve a range of kitchen questions, whether it's recipes involving canned soup, or their top picnic snacks. They also discuss their favourite recipes involving haggis, and debate the most controversial of questions - starter or sweet?

Situated on the Cheshire Plain, Jay chats to Anne Faulkner of Chester cheesemonger The Cheese Shop about the history, types and uses of Cheshire cheese.
