A few odds and ends….
Not quite a week in pictures, more like a morning and the final selection of photographs from the International Balloon Festival at Chateau d’ Oex in Switzerland. It’s also an opportunity to let you know that I’ve been working on my photography site and have refreshed, twiddled and changed a few […]
A European dash…..
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, some projects in Switzerland followed by a visit to three of our restaurants in southern Spain. Back to the cold English winter and a ton of photographs to download and work through.
More about my tips later, here’s a few ‘off cuts’ to give you a taste…..
I […]
A pictorial look back at the last few days….
Here’s a selection of photos which I snapped during a bit of time off, mostly not relevent to what I would write about but hopefully they will tell their own story, good or bad.
I am battling the onset of manflu as I type so forgive me if […]
A pictorial week in the life of a chef at Christmas….
This year was my 26th Christmas in a working kitchen and I’ve never missed a single Christmas Day in all that time. As an extension of the week in pictures thread which runs on this blog I thought I’d share a few images of the […]
Snow comes to England….
Here’s a pictorial tale of snow, snow and more snow. Here in the UK we all go hysterical at the drop of a snowflake. You’d think we were in Bombay and had never seen snow before. Anyway, in true adventure style I decided to not try and drive my rear wheel drive […]
Photographs of chefs from a kitchen service….
It’s been a testing week in a number of ways, my last photographs for this section were obliterated in a computer instant hence the delay in the new ones. This week is unsurprisingly about the workplace. It’s the only place I’ve been so I thought I’d share with you […]
A snapshot in the life of….me.
I’ve been pleasantly suprised at the popularity of this recent addition to the blog so without further ‘to do’s’ here’s a few random shots of my life since the last time you had ‘a nosey’…
My attempt at a Bob Carlos Clarke type photo from when he recorded life inside Marco […]
Another mixed bag….
Time for another bag of off cuts, how time flies!!…..
Serving Afternoon Tea
I loved the size of this dog in relation to its owner, that and the fact it stopped and posed for me!
One Man and His Dog
No comment…!!
My Bette Noir
I regularly watch this fella feeding over the […]
This week’s photo Journal….
Time flies by when you’re having fun (apparently) so it’s that time again. Here’s what I’ve been up to…..
A simple starter for a dinner for forty five last week; salad nicoise….
Tuna Nicoise
I’ll leave you guessing…..suffice to say it’s not my house!
How the Other Half Live
Middle of dinner service […]
Time for another selection of random shots from the past week…..
One of my head chef’s in action, the halogen heat lamps which keep the food hot whilst being served do little for aiding good photography. The hotplate is the main area of the kitchen, the place where the chef calls the shots….
The Head Chef […]
