So You’d Like To Be A Chef!

It’s true what they say, long unsocial hours, split shifts, low pay, hot kitchen, firey temperaments, growling chefs and demanding managers with budgets. A life of catering can be hard work and often seem relentless and unrewarding, “but”, like any profession or trade, hard work does pay rewards!

The Culinary Delights of Spring Recipes

Rhubarb is an unusual crop, it can sometimes be found (if your really lucky and have a keen eye) wild in amongst the hundreds of mile of the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire winding country roads, mind you, you need to be pretty sharp and quick as usually someone’s usually got to it before you!

Cookery School Review – The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy

After an easy drive from Southwell to Goxhill in
North Lincolnshire, I arrived at The Nigel
Brown Cooking Academy to begin my course entitled
‘Meat, Poultry and Game Galore’. Nigel’s wife
Lisa greeted me as I pulled up in front of their
lovely home, and guided me through to the
kitchen, where I was introduced to Nigel, and
given a welcome drink of warm winter berry
mulled wine and a plate of perfect homemade
florentines. As Nigel and I began to chat, Lisa
made the first of many pots of coffee, so I knew
that I would be in for a great day with lots of
fresh coffee to help me along.
