Welcome to my office !

Everyday starts with a prep list that must be done for service !
The game of Russian roulette that stove top creme brulee's can be !
Passing the brulee's
Vanilla and white chocolate shots that form one component of a Chocolate platter dessert plate. A milk chocolate peanut square, chocolate Brownie and a dark chocolate tart are the other low calorie components !
Kaffier lime leaves, lemon grass and lemon juice make a lovely Lemon Posset.
10.30 am and the tea lady arrives. She used to be a super model but has let herself go a little bit in the last few years.
Lunch service starts ! 60 booked but expect 150 and you will not disappointed.
This weeks kitchen burn champion. Just oil from sealing some chicken breasts.
Richard. A chef who is a bit of a word smith.
Today's quotes from the great Philosopher.
" Co us Co us is just a vehicle for flavour Kev man "
" We ping, we bling and then we sling that's service Kev man "

2.00pm the French arrive.

One of the great things about working as a chef is sometimes getting the best ingredients. Wild mushrooms a pain to clean but worth it.

A dollop of horseradish and dill creme fraiche and its good to go in my stomach.
