The LRF quiz is all about fun, food and culinary know-how. In 2010 Anne Robinson lived up to her ‘Queen of Mean' reputation firing questions devised by LRF chair Fay Maschler and chef Rowley Leigh. Last year's combat was just as engaging, with the great Jeremy Lee (Quo Vadis) as the host with the most.
