Cooking up success in a financial storm

Operating a new business is challenging even at the best of times. But now that budgets are stretched and wallets tightened, start-ups are feeling the pinch. Green Mouse Restaurant on Peel Street, Central, opened at the end of August oblivious to the troubles that lay await.

Luckily for head chef Dimitri Bastiani, his high-quality but affordable French food has already attracted regular admirers. Nevertheless, he tells White Collar host Enoch Yiu that he's wary of business falling off and claims that the government could do more to help.

Also in the video, the Metz-born chef rustles up two items from his Christmas menu. Dimitri explains that foie gras is always a popular item during this time of year, while a traditional chocolate "log" is a festive favourite
