Who would you choose to cook for your dream birthday dinner? To celebrate our 30th birthday, we invited a handful of celebrity chefs you’ll likely recognise – along with someone who’s a bit of a local celebrity in our eyes – to help us throw a dinner party to remember.

“Everybody likes sticky date pudding, and, if you don’t, you can stop reading now.”
