Tessa Bramley is chef/patron of the highly acclaimed Old Vicarage
restaurant at the village of Ridgeway outside Sheffield which was
awarded a Michelin star in the 1999 guide. Tessa is a self-taught
chef, whose food is bursting with flavour. It is real county cooking,
made with the freshest of ingredients, many of the vegetables, herbs
and fruits coming from her own kitchen garden. She says: "I want to
show people that cooking is a lot of fun…. And that the rules are there
to be bent according to your own individual style." Her
innovative modern menus mixes British and Mediterranean influences with
those from even further afield to earn her high marks in The Good Food
Guide. In 1995 she was awarded two stars by the Egon Ronay Guide - one
of only six restaurants to achieve this status outside London. The 1997
Egon Ronay awarded the Old Vicarage the Dessert of the Year Award. Kit
Chapman devoted a chapter to Tessa, her life and her cooking, in his
book Great British Chefs 2. Tessa was selected by Channel 4 to be
a regular presenter on its daytime cookery series Here's One I Made
Earlier, which ran for two series. Each programme demonstrated a three
course menu which is imaginative and simple to prepare. She was a

strand on ITV's This Morning. She has featured on BBC's Food &
Drink programme, MasterChef, Channels 4's Light Lunch and she has
filmed three of her own series for Carlton Food Network: Country
Cooking (13 parts), Tessa Bramley's Seasonal Kitchen (26 parts) and

Cook, was published in the Autumn of 1995 by Merehurst. Classic
