First time abroad since Nov 2019…in Koutouloufari with a local Cretan wine and this that remains from the last trip (that got cancelled) from @richardosman …the wife has already read it in less than a day so it must be too notch! #BackToHols #PerfectReadingFodder

Pesky Covid got in the way again, but did a meals on wheels style service thanks to @GordonRamsay for the smoked haddock tart, @PaulAinsw6rth for the ragu & aged sirloin and me for the clementine trifle with Grand Marnier, blood orange jelly, chocolate custard & tonka bean cream!

Chef fight…@jamesmartinchef “never wash morels”…@marcuswareing and @Anahaugh “always wash morels to get rid of grit”….who wins? #MushroomGate
Took possession of this bad boy from @fredsirieix1 this afternoon…long time since I tried this before by visiting Vinopolis over 20 years ago…so far so good! #UnderstandWine
@SkyUK this is a joke, I assume? You’re blaming the infrastructure for my lack of home fibre…but what about this?! I can’t even hotspot to work from home! #DiamondVIP #notworththepaper

My first delivery from @WildMeatCompany has arrived…a different take on Tournedos Rossini is in order…pan fried wood pigeon with duck liver parfait on a Iberico fat crouton with morels and a Madeira sauce may be on the cards… #TrySomethingDifferent #FoodDiscovery

Just catching up with @sat_jamesmartin and @JudeKereama’s visit to the house…looking forward to my first visit to @KotaRestaurant next month even more now! #Cornwall #ProperFood

A spot of @jamesmartinchef ‘s goat tagine with toasted nut cous cous for dinner…properly tasty… #UnusualMeats #NotThatUnusual
This afternoon’s starter via @HairyBikers …tempura king scallops & king prawns on a bed of lamb’s lettuce with pickled shimeji, ponzu dressing and shichimi togarashi… #tasteofJapan
My first bat at @PaulHollywood ‘s Scotch pies…properly tasty…but got shouted at by some of my friends from Edinburgh for the glaze…better make more without! #CantHelpBeingEnglish
Sampling better chicken from @CastlemeadP ex @TheDorsetMeatCo roasted with lemon & thyme, potatoes roasted in Iberico fat @marksandspencer, parsnips glazed with Greek thyme honey, buttered British asparagus, black pepper and smoked sage stuffing, giblet gravy & Yorkies! #WorthIt

Used a mixture of ideas from @gbchefs for tonight’s fish.. Pan fried hake (brined in kombu, citrus & parsley, cooked in butter & olive oil), crab velouté, lightly pickled hispi cabbage, garlic & lemon roast mini potatoes and chive oil…not bad for a first go! #UppingMyFoodGame
Managed to claim 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the recent Red Nose Day biscuit bake-off…ingredients matter! @Roddas_Cream for the GF clotted cream w rhubarb & vanilla sandwiches, @lindtuk for the double choc cookies & @LidlGB for the Greek honey & fig biscuits. @comicrelief #fundraising

Badly distributed choc chips…but this is just a practise run for a @comicrelief biscuit off (NOT with choc chips…the actual ones are still a secret!) using @Roddas_Cream and facebook.com/freeefoods/ flour for gluten free clotted cream treats!

It’s odd what happens when you take @jamieoliver’s easy flatbread recipe and chuck more stuff at it..Baharat spiced yoghurt marinated lamb kebabs..with za’atar yoghurt flatbreads and simple salad dressed with pomegranate molasses.
Pre-beer fodder! #CookAtHome #StillSupportChefs
My entry for National Pie Week…Black Bomber & onion made with produce from @snowdoniacheese and Riggwelter from @BlackSheepBeer, served with roast parsnips and purple sprouting broccoli with smoked cheddar sauce…it may even make it on to the ‘home pub menu’! #NationalPieWeek

I might not win prizes for presentation, but hopefully they’ll make some £ in donations for Ukraine tomorrow! Thanks to @BritishBakeOff , @PaulHollywood , @PrueLeith and #MaryBerry for making me realise that I can do bits and pieces like this! #WeStandTogether #EndTheWar
