Another enjoyable cookery lesson yesterday.

I had the pleasure of procuring the ingredients and conducting a cookery lesson for John.

John is already confident in the kitchen but wanted to learn some new skills and techniques, so we decided to explore a Chinese-inspired menu:

🥟 Starter: Prawn dumplings with dipping sauce
🍗 Main: Kung Pao Chicken
🥬 Side: Garlic & ginger greens
🍚 Rice: Egg fried rice

I genuinely love sharing my knowledge and helping people develop their confidence and skills in the kitchen, whether you're a complete beginner, an experienced cook looking to expand your repertoire, or simply someone who loves good food and wants to learn something new.

If you'd like to discuss cookery lessons tailored to your interests and abilities, drop me a message and let's chat about your requirements!

What a fantastic evening collaborating with Rugby Gin Distillery!

Guests enjoyed delicious tapas paired with three complimentary award-winning gins – a perfect match of great food and exceptional spirits.

As proud Foodie Award winners, it was a pleasure bringing together the very best of local food and drink.
Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, I created a selection of tapas designed to complement the unique flavours of Rugby Gin's incredible range.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. The atmosphere was brilliant, the food was flowing, and the gin certainly didn't disappoint!

Keep your eyes peeled for our next collaboration...

For all my new followers, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself...

My journey back into the food industry began when I won Home Cook of the Year, sponsored by Aubrey Allen.

Winning that competition gave me the confidence to pursue my passion and return to my original career as a chef.

What started as a love of cooking at home reignited the ambition I'd always had to work professionally in kitchens.

Since then, it's been an incredible journey of learning, creating, and sharing my love of food.

From home cook to chef, every step has reinforced why I fell in love with cooking in the first place.

I'm so grateful to everyone who has followed, supported, and encouraged me along the way.

Whether you've been here from the beginning or you've only just joined me, thank you for being part of the journey.

From lockdown to recipe development,
Food demos to food judge,
Staycation Catering, cookery lessons and awards,
Pop up restaurants, private dines and podcasts,
Celebrity clients and corporate catering,

Wow what an incredible journey to date.

"Turns out the route from the Scottish Highlands to Warwickshire goes via Coventry Market, FE Ellis and a rather excellent local gin distillery..."

Tuesday's Recipe Book Club took us on a British food adventure without anyone needing to pack a suitcase.

From squid ink risotto and charred squid to Dorset Blue Vinny stuffed porchetta and blackberry gin jellies, every dish had a story.

And behind many of those stories are some amazing local producers who help me turn cookbook pages into supper.

Massive thanks to our Coventry Market fishmonger, the team at FE Ellis and our local gin makers for supplying the ingredients that make these nights possible.

Supporting local isn't just good for business – it tastes better too.

Same little coffee shop. Same slightly over-ambitious menu ideas. Same wonderful guests willing to come along for the ride.

Who's joining the next adventure?
