Fareham

Not so much a dish as I was asked to loan a bbq. I didn’t and when I got there I was given hat, apron, tongs, jerk chicken and fish for fifty hungry members of the local Afro Caribbean community.

Failure was not an option but fortunately guests went home thinking I’d been a hired chef for the event!

Lobster hotpot with filo pastry lid.

Theyre to die for but it is so so challenging, timing is crucial, patience is crucial, and filo pastry... well put it this way when i built the kitchen having a large enough island to make filo pastry was top of my agenda!

Ooh, I saw a programme with a man making filo pastry the other day. He kept stretching and stretching it. It was enormous and thin when he had finished.

A mixed fruit Pavlova - trying not to break the meringue... One of the layers cracked despite me cooking it properly but was a bit careless in assembling it!

Crispy duck! Did a whole duck! Finished it of after roasting on a rack with a hairdryer to make the skin crispy! Was a tedious affair! Easier to get it from chinease takeaway! Not that I eat meat anymore! X

Ravioli. Hard to get those buggers to pack in without getting ruined in the water.

A friend has IBS, so coming up with a suitable menu which would be interesting, gluten and lactose free, and tasty, and would push my cooking skills which I do enjoy.

I am looking forward to seeing how it goes

Never cooked lobster or crab but it's knowing what bits to cop out as it's not good for us humans!

Then you need a good garlic butter sauce for dipping....

I can't remember what he was making at the time. It was something that was folded many times and was sweet. The presenter didn't just take one polite bite, she kept on eating

Well it used to be kinda my job

I was a dessert development chef

About a 1000 disks of ccookie dough to be sent to fance for testing and quality checks. They had to be nearly all perfect and within specc weight of each other.

Turning older recipes for products like Red Velvet cake into lower sugar varients off themselves while keeping the same flavour was quite annoying.

Some stuff just took ages to make as it was layers that had to be frozen inbetween each step
