A gorgeous commission for The Simple Things magazine that I created the recipes, styled and photographed.

Starters of Ancient Bread with whipped butter sprinkled with hazelnuts and truffle followed by Gloucester Pork Belly with toffee apple sauce and a turmeric seasoned giant Yorkshire pudding.

Service was friendly, relaxed and very down to earth and if you want to have the best mashed potato you’ll ever try - head here now. The Olive Oil Mash was just outstanding.

A gloomy winters day in Spitalfields, London but inside 65A Brasserie, it couldn’t have been more of a sanctuary from the weather outside.

fancy a tour of Birch & The Zebra Riding Club?

I’ve been photographing at these hidden woods in Chalfont St Giles for a few years now, each time I arrive the experience awaiting the lucky diners has evolved and deepened. New touches added, an elevation of the services offered whilst still keeping the fundamental principles that I fell in love with on my first visit when Nomadic was exploring it’s style and finding it’s flow and rhythm.

This is a set of images I never managed to push publish on and it got lost in the draft folder. The wonderful Anna Barnett hosted a brunch for a few lucky guests in her then newly renovated flat in association with Falcon Enamel. It was full of spring sunshine and gorgeous flowers and wonderful food.

I wrote this recipe for a collaboration with Milk & More. We’ve used them for our milk delivery way before I started working with them. I absolutely loved the idea of having a milk man and also really wanted to stop buying milk in plastic bottles. They also provide alternative milks now in glass bottles too as well as sell a whole range of fresh produce and seasonal items usually from smaller suppliers and locally sourced.

I made this recipe in collaboration with Panasonic Kitchen and their new Microwave oven, the concept being to use up left overs, save time and washing up by creating a new meal within the microwave. The great thing about this recipe is creating a risotto that doesn’t require 20 mins of stirring and stove watching. I’m sharing for anyone who sometimes wants a delicious meal made from scratch but doesn’t have the time to pot watch on a weekday evening.

I wrote this recipe for a campaign with the Mushroom Bureau and their just add mushrooms campaign, an idea to reduce meat consumption by replacing a portion of your meat with mushrooms adding vitamins and reducing fat. Of course you can forgo the meat completely and make this veggie.

Mid January, probably the nicest time to be leaving the UK, I flew to Geneva, then after a two hour drive arrived in Courchevel for a 3 day stay in the French Alps. The trip was organised by Alpine Escape a boutique chalet company run by Jo and Neil, that has around 18 chalets in the area. Offering fully or self catered accommodation complete with professional chefs, hot tubs, saunas and a whole host of in chalet activities such as yoga and spa treatments as well as of course organising everything to make your skiing experience easier.

It’s delicious, hearty and warming, I added extra ginger. It’s perfect for January and makes for a great Vegan dish, I have three more portions to look forward too! You can find the full recipe here.

A few weeks back, I flew to Aberdeen at the invitation of Walkers Shortbread.

I knew a factory tour was a big part of our visit as well as a visit to the town of Aberlour and aside from knowing (and consuming) many a tartan box full of shortbread, I really didn’t know much else. I came away pretty much a Walkers Devotee, no other Shortbread will make it into our pantry and I can talk endlessly about the company like I’ve worked there for many a year, not just spent 48 hours in Walkers company.

Amsterdam in April, there was still blossom in the trees and tulips starting to fill bicycles and flower beds and boxes. We were celebrating both our wedding anniversary and 48 hours child free, we clocked up 60,000 steps, ate pancakes, the best ever apple pie, walked up and down nearly every canal, crossed all the bridges, visited the Botanical Gardens, peered into various hotels, found the plant and globe house and sat watching sunrise by the pool atop of Soho House Amsterdam. Here are our favourite images from our trip and our recommendations….

On Saturday I was hired to photograph an outdoor event in Buckinghamshire, a private wood is host to Nomadic’s unique dining experience. Guests experience an immersive foraged feast surrounded by nature with dinner cooked by a talented chef. Each event differs, depending on the time of year, the chef and the weather. The chef creating Saturday’s feast was Chris Hruskova, a Danish michelin starred chef who now runs a bakery in London. It was a joy to photograph, something I just love shooting observationally, capturing events as they happen and this event gave me so much to capture. Thanks for having me Noah!

Aubergine Curry

I made this simple but ever so tasty and nutritious curry that will see you through the dark days and cold nights, for the Laura Ashley blog. Usually made with Coconut Milk, swap it out with a plant based alternative; I used Innocent’s Coconut drink. Yes it will mean the sauce is a little thinner after reduction but you get that same, creamy indulgent tasting coconut sauce but with far less calories and fat. Perfect for January/February intentions without feeling like you are missing out.

This hot pot was made for an Autumnal Walk feature I did for The Simple Things magazine in their Nov 2017 issue, if you follow the link you’ll also find the recipe for the Mustardy Greens side dish to go with it!

I’ve posted the recipe below if you fancy making it this weekend.

Sprouts Farm, is a farm in Jersey which is not only organic but has a great schools initiative that I feel is a step forward in tackling ours and our children’s attitude to food and what we eat…
