Renewed Enthuasiasm

Hi there,

I've decided to renew my interest in this blog. It's been well over a year since my last post and in that time i've managed to fit in quite a bit.

I've just entered my fourth year in Culinary Arts in D.I.T. and during this, my final year, I'll be doing a thesis. I'm going to investigate Biofuels, whether or not they are a good thing when you consider that the grain used to produce Ethanol could go to feeding the world poor. Its a very current topic and something which is of huge global significance.

For the past summer I worked in Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire. This is a two michelin star restaurant which is owned by Monsieur Raymond Blanc. RB is currently hosting the BBC programme The Restaurant, a reality show in which eight couples fight it out to win a restaurant that they will run with Monsieur Blanc. Working in Le Manoir was great and a huge eye opener for me in terms of what can be achieved through food.

Recently I began writing for the D.I.T. Student newspaper. I've been lucky enough to get some stuff published. I hope to post some recipes and reviews onto this blog in the coming weeks so stay tuned as they say!

Food and Wine Magazine


Just finished my internship in Food and Wine Magazine. Had a great time, did a few articles, hopefully they'll be in the July/August issue. They go to press on monday so it should be on the shelves over the next week or so. Go out and buy it, its a really good magazine. Even if you've no interest in cooking, theres always good articles on wine, restaurant reviews and lots of other stuff. But your all gonna bu it anyway because I'm gonna be in it right!!!

The really nice people at the mag gave me a case of wine as a thank you, sweet!!! 6 bottles of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, its barbeque time lads!
