**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 🙏

04/10/2024

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 👀

19/09/2024

Thanks so much for sorting this order for me at short notice! Beautiful quality seafood from sunny Cornwall 🦞☀️🌊

Can’t wait to turn these ingredients into part of a delicious seven course dinner for a private chef’s table experience this evening 👨‍🍳

12/09/2024

Throwing it back to 2004 when I was very lucky to be invited to this special dinner at (just look at the chefs’ names who cooked it!)
I spent the evening sat next to Christina and Neil Hamilton and was blown away by the food and the glamour of the event at just 19 years of age! 🤩

Fast forward 20 years, for my next Interactive Chef’s Table Experience on 24th October 2024 (10th October is sold out!) I thought it might be fun to recreate my version of the very menu I had on that memorable evening (minus the champagne!)👨‍🍳

As always it is a bring your own bottle event, for full details and to book online head to the linktree in bio and then tap on the ‘what’s on’ link where you can search all upcoming events and/or select this particular event to book! 🔗

I hope to see you there! ✌️

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! 👨‍🍳

It was for a festive get together and was a really enjoyable evening 🥂

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

In terms of private dining and events it’s definitely time to start getting organised before you miss the boat, so to avoid disappointment, head to the link in bio, decide whether you’d prefer to hold your event at your place or mine, and start planning your festive soirée 🍂

We hope to hear from you soon! ☺️

This could be my new favourite place 🤩

Whilst we were in Cornwall we discovered the most amazing little cafe nestled into the rocks right on the beach in Hayle 🏖️

It’s called and it’s really similar to my little place, in Maldon but with the added bonus of views to die for! ☕️

They serve great coffee, fantastic food with excellent service and a really cool vibe! If you’re ever in the area you must check it out 👨‍🍳
