Chef Paul Ainsworth makes Cornish steak with oyster mayonnaise with salad dish on Spring Kitchen with Tom Kerridge.

Paul Ainsworth recently picked up his first Michelin star at Number 6 in Padstow. Having worked under the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Gary Rhodes and Marcus Wareing, the chef has gone from strength to strength on his own; also running the Italian restaurant, Rojano’s in the Square, appearing on the BBC’s Great British Menu last year and capping off a successful 2012 as one of the highest climbers in the National Restaurant Awards, with Number 6 placing 36th.

Paul makes use of Cornish new potatoes, peas and broad beans as the base for his salad because these vegetables as right in season and complements his stake beautifully.
