Hi again Sianny I just sent you a long reply re: FRIENDS FOR DINNER Chicken Roll dish.I didn't realize you were after this recipe a while ago. Anyway I just went back to Hub/Uk site where I found out the name of the Gary Rhodes book. It is called Gary Rhodes NEW BRITTISH CLASSICS & the name of the dish is actually called CHICKEN FILLET 'STEAKS' with CHESTNUT MUSHROOMS, SAGE & LEMON SAUCE. If, like me you can not afford to buy a book for one dish Maybe your library might have a copy, or they may be able to borrow from another library for you - just an idea Good luck Krystyna in Sydney, Australia

G'Day from Sydney, Down Under- I just saw & taped the FRIENDS FOR DINNER episode with GARY RHODES as chef, the Chicken Roll recipe you are looking for is called CHICKEN FILLET 'STEAK' with CHESTNUT MUSHROOMS, SAGE & LEMON SAUCE. The book she is cooking from is the Gary Rhodes
??? Classics he is dressed in white & the background is black (grey) What she does is cut fillets into 3/4 to 1 inch strips lengthways, puts them on foil & baking paper sideways on (about 12-15 inches long as it is cut into 6 pieces before cooking) to roll up like a roulade,The centre is same chicken breast with seasonings blitzed in Food Processor, Once the minced chicken is placed on top of the strips its rolled tightly,like a salami, refrigerated to chill, then cut into 6, then baked with foil still wrapped around & also each one is tied with string to stop it from coming apart. Plated, Gary then spooned sauteed mushrooms on top, & then spooned on the sauce/ I hope this is a help for you. I am also looking for the recipe to try out Good Luck

[link] it mentions the book in one of these

Sorry to go back to Sianny and Livewire's comments... i'd quite happily buy the book with the recipe in it.. if i could find which flaming book its in!! I've contacted via the Gary Rhodes website and they have not bothered to come back to me. I have no objection to paying for the whole book just to get that one recipe... Somebody *must* know which book its in!! or did he just make it up on the day? Please Please help. Lainey

Could I just return to the beginning of this thread and suggest anyone wanting cookbooks particularly by celebrity chefs that you try ebay.
They get some good bargains on there, they have Nigella's and Jamie,s latest.
I sold my Brian Turners British cooking on there and was amazed at the interest I had so good for both buying and selling.

I agree with Rustie - having heard people like Michael Palin and soon-to-be-on-our-screens, Ewan McGregor on the radio recently about their respective travels, they come up with the ideas for their trips and then look for media interest. In these instances the BBC step in and pay for the right to show their travels, paying for some/much of it. The 'stars' however, own the copyright in the sense of the books that are created from the travels. This is part of the contract.

I have no idea what is in Gary Rhode's contract or the contracts of the people who appear in The Best, but I would imagine that the recipes created for the programme remain the property of the chefs. The BBC aired the programmes but that does not mean it owns the recipes. If the BBC owned the recipes of all the chef's shown - not forgetting Rick Stein, AWT, etc., then we would just have a bunch of BBC Chefs as opposed to creative chefs who are able to show their talent on our screen.

Again, not speaking as an expert but with very limited knowledge I am assuming we are able to see a lot of recipes on the BBC and UKTVFood websites as the programmes are commissioned by these companies but if an independent production company produced the programmes and contracted the chefs then the channel that ends up buying and showing the programme/series does not own the rights as such to the recipes.

If revenue from booksales wasn't or couldn't be taken into account when budgeting for a TV program, think how much more each program would cost the BBC, and the licence fee increase to compensate.

Also, you can look at and use a book as often as you like, at your leisure, in your own time, without people complaining about repeats.

But the idea that "we" the licence payers own the BBC is a whimsical fallacy. We, if we buy a licence, own the right to watch the BBC, so we sponsor it, not own it. Just as buyng a Road Fund Licence for your car give you a right to use the roads, not own them.

Another way of looking at it is that if the recipes were on the Internet, he would be paid in some way for that, so, in that view would it not make it that we were paying 3 times as most of us have to pay something for our Internet access.

As to the publishers, some are by the BBC some are not. Copyright is a very very complicated subject, but when it comes down to it, buying a book is an option that many many people are glad to have, when James Martin DIDN'T produce a book for one of his series', that was complained about as well.

I can't agree with that one Helen's mum. It is wonderful actually reading about a person's experiences and what they are feeling and thinking - but recipes are just... recipes! I love the Michael Palin programmes and actually reading about it is soooo much better than watching it.

Yeah by us, I've thought about this a lot lately, it really, truly, dawned on me when I recently saw Michael Palin's book about his trek through the Himalayas on sale in the bookshop. I thought "Huh, he was paid by the beeb to do this prog", he was obviously having a great experience in the exploration of this area, I was envious (would we have turned down the opportunity? - yet we are never offered- once you work for the beeb, you are there for life) and now he's selling those experiences back to us via the beeb, again, sorry to be repetitive WE own (we all have to pay the licence fee or go to prison)the BBC. Sorry, also I know that this is nothing to do with UKTV really but...who knows?

Yes - they're getting paid twice basically!

Hi, but I think my last reply was deleted, which, if it was makes me angry. The gist of it was: Gary Rhodes is PAID by the BBC, and we own the BBC, he makes his progs and yes, we can record them, but this is not always an option with many people. His recipe books published are ( I believe, but stand to be corrected,)by the BBC, yet he will not allow his recipes to be aired on the internet!? We have to rush out and buy his books, we have, by the way already paid for these via his progs, or we are in breach of copyright. As Terry Wogan says? "Is it me?". or is the BBC who are letting their licence-payers down. We are making people very rich!! Right, sorry, I know a lot of people have aired similar opinions, but I don't want to upset anyone. I enjoy the site and wish we had a proper chatroom, but please don't get rid of me because of my views!!!

Where's your post gone Helen's mum?

I agree actually - whichever channel chooses to air and pay the chefs for the programme should include a clause that they are allowed to reproduce the recipes on their websites.

Just found this!

Only 15 but hey!

Does anybody know which one of Gary Rhodes' recipe book this chicken recipe is in?

Thank you livewire will check out local book stores

Sianny - afraid you won't find any Gary Rhodes recipes on site, nor can anyone post them, for copyright reasons.

You will have to buy his books, or try your local library.
