Love ’em or hate ’em, you’ll be hard-pressed to get through Christmas without coming fork to face with a sprout. We put chefs’ recipes to a very special cook-and-taste test…
TASTE TEST
HOW WE DID IT We chose a sprout dish from six of our favourite cooks and chefs, then followed all the recipes to a T, served them up and held a side-by-side taste test.
