In this time I have also have been working on my pastry skills taking on a role at a London restaurant for a couple of months . This has been an eye opening experience providing me some huge learnings to take forward & create with .

🌊🌊 Gorse flowers in season. Smell like coconut . Taste like coconut with a hint of camomile I thought . Working on a dessert as we speak which will also feature sorrel which grows in abundance down every path here and has a definitive citrus taste with a slight salt finish due to the sea air

Moved to Pembrokeshire to get some fresh air before a big move to London. Re United with the AGA country kitchen which was the story of my summer working at various manor houses . It requires a while different approach to cooking which I'm looking forward to embracing . Will be back soon with odes to the place I now inhabit and the produce at my doorstep. Watch this space .

Strength is probably the most misunderstood concept in our culture . It is definitely the most dangerous concept in hospitality which I have seen time and time again destroy lives . I used to believe like many it was your ability to take on the world and succeed. It was the ability to not moan and get on with it . Find a way. How wrong I was and the price I paid was near fatal if I am totally honest . As we see light at the end of the tunnel and we return into hospitality I think it is time for a drastic rethink .
Sure that described above is part of strength . It's resilience which we will all need time to time as chefs as it's a tough gig . But I question whether this is enough . From my experiences notably navigating COVID I have come to realise that strength is alot to do with your capacity to engage your vulnerability . It is your ability to fail and for this to be OK. It's the ability to buy time to process . It's your ability to rely on others . It's your ability for kindness to yourself . It's your ability to establish boundaries .
I wish all my fellow chefs who have struggled in these dark times returning to work soon the best of luck . I hope you re enter a workplace which takes into account what real strength is. If not join a union and be part of the change . You are more than just a chef you are a human too .
Big Love
