Though I’ve been lucky enough to cook in very special London homes I can’t help but feel excited when a home county private dining opportunity comes my way. More so when it’s in someone’s country home. One of my clients lives in Hunton, in a converted barn. A couple of weeks ago I visited her...

Summer feast(ival)
This summer’s festival occasion was The Big Feastival, a family-inclusive summer feel-good festival of food and music. I was asked by Moretti to design the perfect bite for their new beers.

Summer cookie baking
When I take time off I tend to visit my family in Spain. This summer break I organised a cookie baking session for my nephew and my friends’ kids. They loved it.

Octopus and pancetta paella
An unusual Paella. A combination of sea and mountain, pork belly and Octopus. Also the fried onion adds a lovely sweetness to this great paella.
Pheasant , cauliflower and “ Muixernons” ( Fairy ring mushrooms) Paella
I always loved game Paellas. Really rich in flavour . If you have time and leave it simmering so the pheasant is really tender , you gonna have an amazing stock and its gonna be one of this paella that you remember for a long time
Black rice with squid, artichokes and lemon sole

Pork ribs and butternut paella
Beautiful pork Paella. Really easy paella with not many ingredients, but the sweetness of the butternut complement perfectly the pork.
