Restaurant food at home
I’ve been quite quiet recently on the blogging front, no real reason except life has been really busy. I’m spending a lot of flying days away from base at the minute. Which means when I do get home there are loads of jobs to do and dedicating much of it […]
When people see my blog or photos of what I cook, a common question is where do I get all my ideas. I seldom copy a recipe ver batim, unless it’s teaching me a new technique, like the consomme I’m making today. I tend to be more inspired from pieces […]

The flavour combinations were so wonderful it didn’t really matter what grain was added to the final dish. Here, […]
