Keith Floyd - simply the best
Bruce Poole - great quality and skill personified
Rick Stein - for fantastic recipes, boundless enthusiasm, and for bringing an educated approach to food programming, that isn't always present.........
Nigel Slater - for a writing style that I don't think can be beaten
Giorgio Locatelli - because my wife fancies him, and he made her birthday by signing her menu, and coming out to say hello... (sometimes its the little things...)
Ross Hunter - owner of Surrey Hills Brewery - an old friend who followed his dream
Antonio Carluccio - his passion his food, and his country, are infectious
Eric and Sarah Guignord - who run the brilliant The French Table in Surbiton - my new favourite place! Great food and excellent service every time.

Smoked Salmon Pin Wheels


Party food is my favourite food to make. This is a really simple dish - that looks great on a plate - and makes smoked salmon 'go' a bit further.
A great canape, or as part of a mixed seafood starter.
Not so much a recipe - just an assembly line - no cooking involved.
I generally do some with spinach, and others without - which give a mixture in the presentation.

I haven't given measurements - and it can be scaled up or down depending on how much salmon you have, a small pack of smoked salmon will do two - three wraps.
Ingredients:-

Smoked Salmon thinly sliced
Spinach - washed and ready to use
Cream Cheese (eg Philadelphia)
Wholemeal wraps
Salt and pepper

1 Open the wrap and spread a layer of cream cheese over the entire surface.
2 If using, lay spinach leaves on the cheese in a single layer - to approximately 3/4 of the way across the wrap.
3 Spread a very thin layer of smoked salmon approximately half way across the wrap.
4 Season with salt and black pepper
5 Roll the wrap tightly from the end with all three layers, across the the edge with just cheese.
6 Once rolled, wrap in cling film, tighten the ends, and chill in the fridge - this helps form the wrap, and will help it hold together when cut in to slices.
7 When you are ready to serve take off the cling film and cut the wrap into slices.
