Social distancing means no social gatherings whatsoever. Which definitely means no restaurants but also means no family and friend dinner parties. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t order a delivery to support your local restaurant business – and enjoy the talents of local chefs.

In our new series, Manchester chefs share their secret and not-so-secret recipes for you to try at home. It shows how they make it look easy – and also just how much effort actually goes into their restaurant dishes every service. But this series aims to help all of us improve our culinary skills, using ingredients most of us already have or can easily get hold of. Even if you’re an absolute beginner, it’s a chance to learn the basics from the best in the business. The Manchester way is to do it yourself. So definitely do try this at home…

POLICE ADVICE from NPCC (National Police Chiefs Council):
How to stay safe when accepting help from others:
If you are receiving voluntary help do not share financial details like credit/debit card numbers or personal information.
If someone you don’t know calls at your home, always ask for ID and always ensure you are comfortable sharing details like your phone number or address.
Only provide information on a need to know basis and if you have seen ID. Do not feel pressured into providing information.
If you have doubts about those who are approaching you, and are concerned, it is advised that you don’t engage, and report serious suspicious behaviour to the police.
Remember that genuine volunteers have been instructed not to enter your home and should all have documentation proving their status.
