The idea for The Chef's Secret is sharing the top 8 most-searched online recipes, with tips from the experts on their secrets to success. We cast chef Adrian Richardson from La Luna and celebrity chef and nutritionist Georgia Barnes to share their secrets to the perfect steak, crispy skinned salmon and other family favourites - all cooked with gas.
