Celebrity TV chef Mark Sargeant has been accused of sexually assaulting American Airlines flight attendant Kimberly Goesling on a trip to Germany in January 2018, a lawsuit filed in Tarrant County, Texas revealed last week.
Goesling alleges that Sargeant, a former Gordon Ramsay protégée and head chef, and later the chef-patron of King’s Cross restaurant Plum and Spilt Milk, assaulted her in a hotel room at the end of a business trip organised by American Airlines. Sargeant had been hired by the airline to develop a special in-flight menu for first class and business class passengers.

It may cause the odd raised eyebrow to see that today’s recipe is for baked potatoes, but once you’ve got through this long Easter weekend of rich roast, sticky cakes and loads of chocolate, I think you will thank me for a simple midweek meal.
On the other hand, I have always thought that the baked potato is an underestimated plate of food which was due a serious look. Recent developments in the food world have proved this true. Back in the early Eighties, I had my first experience of visiting a restaurant that someone I knew had opened; and the dish I first ate there was a baked potato with Boursin. I’ve eaten all kinds of amazing food since,
The Chiltern Firehouse was one of London s hottest openings ever
When I long to be back in restaurants, there are certain dishes that haunt my tastebuds. Ones that I’ve devoured in the past ten years or so in excellent company. Chutney Mary’s Dover sole, each fleshy mouthful exploding with a firecracker of Wayanad black pepper. The guinea fowl pie at St John, the pastry stiff with suet and the filling sticky with slow cooking, lifted on to my plate by Fergus Henderson himself, resplendent in pinstripes.
Then there’s Heston’s meat fruit at Dinner – the first bona fide #foodporn dish of the 2010s – as richly delicious as it is visually ravishing. Or the bombas de chocolates at Sabor, where Nieves Barragán Mohacho saves the best till last with a trio of doughnuts discharging molten torrents of gooey chocolate.
