Food Heroes

Food Heroes

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.


All of these are my food heroes, and many, many more

October 2011 Intro

Hi - this is my first post - and it comes as a result of a meal for 10 that I cooked to welcome my friend Martin's wife to married life in the UK, and to wish Martin's brother Jon and his fiance Sarah well as they head off travelling for a few months before they get married.
As autumn well and truly arrived in the last couple of weeks I have used the last peppers and tomatoes in the starter, and headed a bit more for autumn with the main course, beautiful lamb with a hint of heat.
The dessert is an old favourite - one that never lets me down!!
Menu
Piedmontese Peppers
Butterfly leg of lamb with harissa on roasted new potatoes and onions
