iPhone diary for Sunday 29th January 2012..
This last week has seen me spend as much free time in my studio as possible. I love it in there, it’s a quiet, relaxing and inspiring. My friend Laurie has recently become the main UK distributor for an American bodybuilding brand of clothing and I’ve been photographing some […]
iPhone diary marks a landmark birthday-Part One!!
It’s a rough old couple of months for the boss (me) I’ve got three chefs with landmark birthdays; twenty one, eighteen and thirty. Doh! First up is Carrole, twenty one and a hell of a worker, she started working for me when she was nineteen and reminds me very […]
iPhone diary entry…
I was in two minds about this one if I’m honest. When I saw the scene I was struck by the bitter irony of it. Someone sleeping rough in the doorway of a bank.
I was walking through the city centre and on my way to check my bank balance when I saw this […]
iPhone entry…
I sometimes wonder how much ground I have covered in all the years I have been a chef, in terms of distance how large an area would I have covered if you added every step I have taken in kitchens over the years? Probably doesn’t bear thinking about. Here’s my boot, steel toe capped, […]

iPhone diary for Sunday 22nd January 2012…
Just back from another fine lunch with the family at my parents house. I try and get over most Sunday’s, an eighty mile round trip but well worth it for mum’s gravy and my brother’s sparkling wit..My father, eighty five years young this year still carves a fine line […]
iPhone Diary and observations…

It is difficult to write about […]
The iPhone Diary….
This entry means a lot to me. Two of my chefs, both from very different backgrounds but neither have had it easy. The girl is my seventeen year old trainee, hard working and full of promise. The man showing her came to me from France ten years ago and couldn’t string three words […]
