There are two great national food awareness days this week so we thought we would give you two for the price of one. British Sandwich Week is running at the same time as National Vegetarian Week, which is perfect as the two go hand in hand.

It’s National Doughnut Week. If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know we’re big fans of food ‘awareness’ weeks in the SK kitchen as it gives us chefs an excuse, not that we ever need one, to be creative. Unlike some events that are so obviously manufactured to help big companies […]

If you like Star Wars, yesterday would have been your day (May the 4th Be with you), but whilst we are big fans of the movies (apart from Phantom Menace of course!) we prefer to celebrate Cinco de May0. (5th of May). That’s because Mexican food is one of the staples in the SK kitchen.

We have been enjoying Great British Beef Week here in the SK kitchen. It’s one of the meats we use most and if you are a customer at one of the UK’s biggest supermarkets, the chances are that you have eaten one of our dishes. Beef burritos and chilli beef muffins are just two examples. […]

We are still enjoying Great British Beef Week (GBB) here in the SK kitchen this time with shorthorn beef.

It’s also a fitting tribute to mark the end of GBB week for 2017. […]

We love our food-themed events here in the SK kitchen as they give us the chance to be creative, so when we discovered there was a National Garlic Day, the five of us were fighting over who should provide the recipe. The reason for this is that garlic is one of the staples in our […]

Easter may not quite be the same as Christmas when it comes to eating, but it’s not far behind as far I am concerned. There’s certainly no other time in the year when you will eat as much chocolate. Is it me, or are Easter eggs getting bigger? In my day, you got a small […]

The life of a development chef. Where do I begin? After so many years spent working in restaurant kitchens, I admit stepping into a development kitchen involved plenty of adjustment.But now, I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. Working 9-5 obviously has its benefits, especially after so long working ridiculous hours in hot […]

I always find it funny how so many non-Irish people celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Poor St David, St George and St Andrew don’t get a look in when it comes to St Paddy’s Day. When it comes down to it I think it’s because we all just love the idea of the ‘craic’ and an excuse […]
