The days are getting shorter and the nights longer now, with most days being cooler and some having a decidedly chilly nip to them. The central heating is on and I’m looking forward to lighting the log fire soon. Until then we use food to warm us...

Boys and their toys!! OK I have to confess I also like kitchen tools, especially ones that do something slightly clever and out of the ordinary. Mr.P and the chefs acquired a swirly whirly vegetable turner. It’s called a Japanese turning vegetable...

The outdoor rhubarb season is in full swing. Piers from High House Farm Suffolk is supplying us with the most glorious rhubarb. We worked hard this season to build the ever growing rhubarb recipe collection as well as cooking some of our old classics...

Earlier this month when I was challenged to cook for South African rugby players the nerves set in and to be honest I grabbed the phone and called my mother. Living in the UK for nearly 20 years I must admit that traditional South African recipes are...

I know I know - you shouldn't make fish stock with oily fish. But that's just in french style cooking. They don't know everything do they? Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Indonesia - all those places and more they'll cook & eat everything...

We had great fun last season with the Wild Meat in a day Food Safari events. It’s popular and everyone seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. Ray Kent and Robert Gooch from the Wild Meat Company are the experts in this field as they show the “students”...

Had to post this as it made my day. The gingerbread man was made today by Nathan my future pastry chef. He’s only four years old, but I can see which way it’s going to go already. I just need him to use smaller cherries for eyes. Talk about...

Isn’t this a pretty plate of food? It not only looks good but tastes absolutely magnificent. You might frown at the thought of raw cod, but take my word it’s incredibly delicious. The secret is that the fish must be ultra fresh. Only serve...

I absolutely loved the movie Slumdog Millionaire.I not only appreciated the mechanics on how the movie was made but also how it highlighted the way we allow children and other human beings to live. Chanel 4 recently broadcast an Indian Seasons series...

When it’s cold and miserable outside, my body does not seem to want to co-operate and function as it should. It feels as if I want to go into hibernation, curl up under a blanket and not move. After 17 years my body still has not completely adapted...

It’s the beginning of both a new year and decade. It’s certainly time to have deep clean, throw away the hoards of scrap paper with nonsensical squiggles, magazines from the beginning of the last decade, numerous bottles of rancid oils, tasteless...

Recently I inadvertently came across Rick Steins Far Eastern Odyssey but to be honest I do not like watching him cook as I find it a bit cringe worthy at the best of times. However I really enjoyed watching this series as it was very informative and I...

While I spend all day shopping, preparing, cooking, travelling etc. for my clients, when it comes to my own meals they have to be fast. I had two packs of diced pork in the freezer from Home Farm to do something with. The first one made the cajun pork...

This dish is different and rather unusual. Combining pears with mackerel might not sound like an obvious pairing but it works remarkably well. I made a broth using British conference pears and infused it with the schezuan pepper and miso paste. Schezuan...

With the colder days all I want to do is eat, which is definitely no good for the waistline nor for my wardrobe. To stay away from the temptation, I make sure I cook something special for lunch. Most of the days it’s soup, it’s filling and...
