About Me
A professional chef and freelance photographer based in Lincolnshire, England. After years of plying (and sweating) my trade in various kitchens from Switzerland to Germany and the English Lake District I returned to my home county in ’97 and have never looked back (or forward)
When not in a kitchen I enjoy:
Photography (commercial and personal)
Good Wine
Travel
Lifting heavy dumbbells to aid injury
Music (Motorhead, John McLaughlin, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Stanley Clarke, Free, Thin Lizzy and Chris Rea)
Don’t Like:
Photo being taken
Bad Wine
Traffic
Cardio
Music (Boy bands, Rap, Techno, Nu Jazz (?), Death, Thrash, vomit Metal, Cliff and bagpipes)
I actively encourage anyone who is interested in any of the posts I write to add a comment should they wish to, our ‘community’ of readers and contributors stretches from Britain to America, Germany to Singapore, Canada to Thailand and back again. Should you wish to contact me directly please e mail me at: miles@gourmetfoodsource.net
For anyone interested in how I got to where I am today, which isn’t particularly far or what a chef’s life is really like you can find it all in a series of ‘warts and all’ autobiographical posts starting in the mid 1980’s as a trainee in England. The posts are in chronological order with new posts being added as and when my memory allows it. Feel free to click on the links below for a laugh at my expense…
