I love a nice plate. These were bought last summer in Limogues, France 🇫🇷. Famous for its china. I could have filled the car !

I like my food to present its best side , sitting on/in a plate/bowl that lends itself to the dish.

Many holiday homes just don’t have the selection or quality that I’d like.

So I bring my own. I don’t charge my guests extra. It’s just part of the Noble prawn service.

Making sure that every aspect of my service to my guests is as it should be. Perfect 🤩

A pudding duo is my preference.

Here I’ve made a pear & almond tartlet & a vanilla coffee bean infused panna cotta with an espresso gel.
To ensure my guests got the pear hit, I served a little side of poached pear.
To get the coffee hit, I added the espresso gel.
It certainly was a hit with my guests. Not a scrap left .

Happy days. Chef days. Sunshine days. 👩‍🍳😊

Tonight’s dinner party guests requested veal Milanese. What a joy it was to cook. Thanks to my local butcher for sourcing this for me.

Beautifully prepared and packaged. I only had to FE&BC ( flour, egg & breadcrumb!).

Why don’t we see more veal on menus? It’s a product of our dairy herds; lean and delicious.

Sadly we’re dictated to by large supermarkets as to what we should eat.

Why not pop down to your local butchers and order some. Our dairy farmers can certainly do with our support.
I’ll be putting this on my bespoke menus from now on.

My Mum would make hundreds of profiteroles and eclairs. The eclairs were always for the shops she supplied and as children we were often warned “they’re counted !”, meaning they’re not for us to sneak a cheeky eclair for breakfast 😋 They were always filled with fresh whipped cream and coated in milk chocolate that set hard on top.

Making my own choux pastry now brings back happy memories and reminds me about how much I learnt from watching and helping Mum in our kitchen.

I know how things should look; I know how things should taste. I remember recipes she would repeat to me, helping me store some basics for future.
I have done the same with my Son. He’s a great cook and will get even better over time.

Passing on life skills is so important. Children are sponges and will remember. I’ve been very lucky to have a Mum that was a great cook. And even luckier that I can still cook for her now.

She’s visiting me in August. Maybe I’ll make some profiteroles and see if I’ll pass the test 👩‍🍳😊

The profiteroles in the picture are: blood orange curd & dark chocolate sauce; lemon curd & cream; both with candied peel to garnish 😊

I often get requests for gluten free canapés. I really dislike GF bread bases so always make my own GF bread and pastry.

Here I’ve used buckwheat as it’s got a lovely flavour; the added bonus of being GF.
Making GF shortcrust is just a little trickier than regular flour. But follow the same principles as regular pastry and it’ll work out.
Make a double batch and freeze the rest.
I use recipes from . They’re easy, once you’ve got the basic ingredients. And her recipes are reliable.

I love it when clients dress their party tables. This was an Italian evening and having cooked in Tuscany on a number of occasions, I can say my client hit the spot perfectly. A Tuscan dream evening….in Suffolk ☀️🌞👩‍🍳

My weekly Home Delivery Suppers always include vegetarian and non meat options. Every main course comes with two delicious sides.
My menus are built from the availability of local ingredients, where possible; so if you’re a regular client, you’ll not know what’s on the menu until it lands in your fridge. I’ll make sure that your likes/dislikes & allergies are catered for as well already have clarified details in the brief you give me.
My Home Delivery Service is like no other. Fresh, interesting, local and sustainable cooking.

If you’re wanting a change of your eating habits, get in touch. If you’re worried that an elderly relative should be getting a more nutritious diet, get in touch. If you’re recuperating following hospital care, get in touch.
I will work with you to design a bespoke meal plan if you wish.

There’s amazing ingredients on our doorstep. Let me turn it into something amazing for you 👩‍🍳👩‍🍳

What a fantastic morning I’ve had giving a canapé masterclass -Halesworth. Inspiring young chefs, introducing them to the world of canapé making.

They made three different bases: shortbread, short crust & lavoush. It’s all about the base ! 😋
Then filled, topped, sprinkled with various delicious ingredients.
They inspired me to make different toppings too - so we were all learning.
I’m always so impressed by young minds. They don’t hold back.
There’s certainly work experience for any of them who’d like to.

Welcome to the world of the private chef and the never ending inspirational world of canapés !

In Tipperary we call these turnips. In Suffolk and the IK they’re called swede. A little confusing in my early cooking experiences in the UK.

An underrated vegetable that I love. I fondly remember helping my Dad load the trailer and delivering a huge haul of ‘turnips’ to the local supermarket. He used to supply local seasonal produce to the shops, alongside his dairy farming. No air miles for that delivery!
In Ireland I only ever remember mashed turnips with lashings of creamery butter. For a more special occasion we’d have little cubes; but always lashings of butter. And sometimes a white béchamel sauce with parsley. All were delicious 😋

So for tonight’s dinner party menu I thought I’d switch up the dauphinoise and offer one traditional potato and one ‘turnip’ with wild garlic butter.
Unfortunately I’ve had to call it swede on the menu but in my head it’s a turnip.

So when you’re next thinking of what veg to make, reach for a swede and call it a turnip in your head. Don’t forget lashings of proper salted butter. 👩‍🍳

Who’s looking 👀 at me? The Bass are back with a bang off our .

These beauties were caught overnight last night, landed in this morning, dropped off at and delivered to HQ kitchen by 1630hrs!
That’s how fresh your fish is when you invite me to cook for you.
A huge East coast team effort- fishermen & women risking their lives at sea; fish mongers , drivers, chefs making it happen for your supper.

You’re always guaranteed the very best at my regular fishmongers . But if you’re getting your fish elsewhere, check for bright eyes ( not shadowy), and red gills ( not grey). These guys were swimming less than 24 hours ago.

Silver. I love it. Especially when it’s a mix of different patterns and styles. Sadly mine is silver plated but it’s still fabulous.

In my younger days Mum would always have us polishing the silver ‘for the visitors’. We had to use a yellow thingy that went black when polishing and would get right into your cuticles. A devil to clean afterwards but at least the silverware was polished.

**Cleaning hack alert to follow!

A housekeeper from a big English house once told me how they cleaned masses of silver.

Put a sheet of tinfoil in a basin and add a few large spoons of table salt. Fill the basin with warm water. Drop in the silver but don’t have it touching each other. Watch it . You’ll see the tarnish marks disappear before your eyes. Magic. Science actually.

So next time you have to polish the silver try this method. It gets into all the nooks and crannies. So much more efficient and less time consuming. When you know, you know.

Don’t wait for the visitors. Get out your best tableware and enjoy it. Life is for living 👩‍🍳😊

So looking forward to this evening.
Hope to see you there 👩‍🍳😊

Delighted to have shadow me today on a cooking event. Noble prawn is an Industry partner with where I offer my time to students through giving talks & master classes. I’m a believer in giving opportunities to those starting out in the catering industry and learning from their enthusiasm, new ideas & fresh approaches. I wish that my younger self had such opportunities. Kimika chatted through all the set up considerations of becoming a private chef and then worked with me on site. We both took away insights from each others experiences. Thanks to Kimika for the hard work and to for the opportunities.
