iPhone diary enjoys the view..
Here’s a scene I look out at often. The view from my hotel room whenever I am working away and I never tire of looking at it. The river at times flat and shining, at others fast flowing and aggressive as the water crashes over the rocks under the bridge.
I have […]
iPhone diary does a Hemmingway…
I like this photo, first of all it’s of my father so I suppose I should! Secondly it has a nice retrospective feel to it with the background conjuring up thoughts of seaside snapshots from yesteryear.
I love the sweep of the beach which could be anywhere but it happens to be […]
iPhone diary bashes a paste…
Here’s a green curry paste I made up for a guest last night. Whenever I can i like to use the old fashioned pestle and mortar for my pastes, some days a blender is the only viable option but for this single portion I had time to do it.
Purists will say […]
iPhone diary feasts like a king…
Here’s two photographs to show how lucky I am to be able to eat such gastronomic delights most Sundays. I know I bang on about my mother at times but more and more I see how many of her qualities and standards in life have rubbed off on me […]
iPhone diary puts on its zoot suit..
I was going to start this with the line “You can tell the good weather is here” but then realised it’s rained for forty days and nights! Anyway, this picture is usually a good indicator for warmer weather; the scooter boys are out and about on a Sunday.
It’s a […]
iPhone diary gets caught out…
This is a reminder of my senior sous chef at one of the hotels. He’s worked for me for years and it’s a standing joke between us that whenever he comes up with a new dessert I find faults with it.
Yesterday he asked me for my opinion on a new dessert […]
iPhone diary gets published…
Well it’s been a good month so far. Here’s a picture of the first book to contain a photograph of mine in. It’s a French book called 250 réponses á vos questions sur l’alimentation about food origins and I am very happy to have played a part, however small in its production. […]
iPhone diary has a good day..
This is a photo to remind me of some special news yesterday. Happy and proud, enough said.
Normal service resumes tomorrow.
iPhone diary says ‘Prost!’…
Here’s one of my sous chefs called Tom, blowing the candle out on a crappy cake I bought him for his 30th birthday yesterday. As you may have worked out from the post title he’s German and an all round good egg. Actually we’re quite similar although he might beg to differ! […]
iPhone diary goes mono…
I’ve always had a thing for black and white photography, when it’s done right it’s fantastic. Every now and then I manage to take an image in b&W which I really like and usually it is a portrait. With portraits I think much depnds on the subject, some people suit it, some […]
