An award-winning pastry chef has treated over-worked nursing staff looking after the poorliest of patients.

Jill Martin from Deal cooked up a rich and tasty spaghetti bolognese for medics working at the Intensive Care Unit in Margate as a thank you for their work through the pandemic.

Mrs Martin, who in 2019 won the World's Best Pasty Competition for her Kentish Knockers.

Before that she was a joint winner on Come Dine With Me and she now runs her own business, Town Kitchen, from her home, selling her wares at Deal Saturday Market.
