I spoke in a recent blog about my preference for smaller, tapas-style, plates when I am eating in restaurants and at it’s National Curry Week, it seemed perfect timing to discuss how Indian food can fit into this category. Back in the day, you sat down, ordered a sauce-laden main course like Chicken Bhuna and […]

Of all the cooking programmes on television the Great British Menu is the one we chefs enjoy the most. Masterchef: The Professionals is great of course but there’s something particularly great about the Great British Menu. I think it’s down to the challenge of cooking four courses to a theme, with the prospect of being […]
