London dinner party September 2019

I like nothing better than a challenge, as as a private chef you never know where your going to end up, who you might be cooking for or what it is you can be cooking. Everywhere from private houses to villa in rural Italy and France to ultra modern apartments in Singapore. I’ve cooked the simple and the complex for all manner of clients, from poached eggs on toast to a banquet based around the book “A hundred foot journey” I have become pretty good at arriving, usually flying in a few days in advance and instantly having to cook. Below is a menu and a few photos from a dinner party in London

London and a few wines from the Cotes-du-rhone

While in London I regularly purchase wine from the Jeroboams store on Heath Street, which is an agreeable distance from my flat. I like, on each trip, to concentrate on an individual wine region. Last year it was the wines of Tuscany. Mainly Sangiovese based wines. Super concentrated wines with tight tannins and big flavours, Chianti’s and Montepulciano and the like.

Bistro Officina. Bowral, Southern Highlands NSW

There are dishes, and then there are dishes. These are the culinary moments that stick with you, in the very front of the food memory bank. The meals that everything else is measured against.
