We just love to receive feedback like this from a happy client! ✨

Last week we did a private dinner at luxury kitchen showroom in King’s Road, Chelsea demonstrating one of their ABSOLUTELY AMAZING kitchens in action to their clients. 👨‍🍳

**Attention busy professionals**

When you’re busy and time poor, often one of the first things to suffer is your diet, I know, I’ve been there myself!

It’s a vicious cycle as eating healthy, balanced meals are crucial to help you perform at the highest level, but you’re too busy to worry about your diet, so your performance could suffer!

This is where I come in! I offer in home freelance meal preparation, where I come to your home and prepare and stock your fridge or even freezer with delicious, healthy meals for the week or month!

I only have space to take on a couple more clients, so if you feel this service could benefit you, get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Here are a few kind words from Mr. Williams, one of my current meal prep clients every month for the past two years:

“My brief to Mick was to produce dishes which were exciting but which at the same time would go in the freezer. He more than surpassed my expectations with dishes such as boeuf bourginon and fish pie exceptional not to mention the champagne Charlie ice cream and the Pear and amaretto sorbet!”

Head to my website (link in bio) for more info and to get in touch:

Two different perspectives from the same event! 👀

It’s so funny how subjective the hospitality industry is! Here are two reviews received by two different guests who attended the same event…

If ever a reminder was needed that you really can’t please everyone no matter how had you try! 👨‍🍳

It’s been a very busy week this week with events every day back to back! Thank you to all who have joined us 🙏

As you know I love local, artisan products 🍯

Ian popped in on the off chance this afternoon to give me some of his raw honey to try which he produces in Wickham Bishops, a stone’s throw from near Maldon! 🐝

It is absolutely delicious, so delicious in fact that I have persuaded him to provide me with 20 jars to sell to my clients at the cookery school as well as at 💫

Look out for it next time you visit either venue as I don’t think it will hang around for long 👀

Last nights oyster of the day 🦪

Grilled Maldon oyster Mornay… a beautiful Maldon oyster topped with a bechamel sauce finished with 36 month reserve cheese and Dijon mustard, then gratinated under a hot grill. 🧀

Oysters can divide opinion, but I can honestly say I have never had anyone in my restaurants or at my Chef’s table experience at say they didn’t like it once they’d tried it!

If you’re unsure about oysters, trying them cooked and served with a delicious sauce is a great way to ease yourself into them!

Would anyone be interested in an oyster workshop at the cookery school? Let me know in the comments 👇

Throw back to last December when I had the absolute pleasure to cook privately for and guests at Kimberley’s family home! 👨‍🍳

As we are now in autumn is it acceptable to start to think about Christmas yet?? 😬
