WE all have foods we love and hate, but as a nation what do we collectively deem food heaven and food hell?

And what’s the key to turning something you don’t like into something you crave?

A new survey by BBC Good Food has revealed what we deem as food hell and food heaven.

Chicken, pasta and cheese are the nation’s favourite foods, whilst traditional food hates such as liver and Brussels sprouts continue to make it onto the food hell top ten.

But while marmite’s name is synonymous with being loved and hated in equal measures it’s now curry has stolen the spread’s crown as the food we most love or hate.

In a survey of the nation’s views on food by BBC Good Food, curry was named fifth in a list of food heaven but fourth in a list of food hell.

Marmite meanwhile was 7th most hated but nowhere to be seen in most loved, 74th.

But surely life is too short not to try everything, so to help John Torode shows us how we can turn our food hells into food heaven by using very simple ingredients.
