“Plate this Bourdain”….Indian Vegetable Curry

“I gotta get better at plate-up Tony, I literally suck at this – how the fuck do you do it”? I stared down at what looked like a pile of elephant crap on the pristine white flat-to-rim plate. This was my own personal favourite plate type, a ‘God’s-beard-white’ with just a slight cross groove running… Read More “Plate this Bourdain”….Indian Vegetable Curry

Fresh pasta and learning to cook ‘at source’

Fresh Egg Pasta

  Andrea’s hands are powerful, they have a vice-like grip that panics me……but at the same time her touch is soft and comforting. She has a firm grasp of my right bicep..my lower arm is turning blue as she talks loudly and at great speed in dialect to her partner in crime Teresa. My limited Italian… Read More Fresh pasta and learning to cook ‘at source’

The very ultimate of pies – Venison

I’m very much affected by the weather, my kitchen is equally affected……as is my garden – which at the moment is lifeless and bare.

These bad boys will knock your socks off – Gnocchi or ‘little lumps’ are an amazing alternative… Read More Herb and cheesy Gnocchi

I like to describe myself as a pop-up chef - I'm not a planner - I stick my head in the fridge and see what I can do with whats staring back at me! Now this leads to disasters...which you will never hear about and spectacular miracles which you will. I'm not 'passionate' about cooking..that's the biggest cliche in the business. I am passionate about live and food is just one small part of it.
