This or That
Find out more about me, the chef behind Cotswolds Nutrition Chef.

Fish
I love cooking fish and in my opinion, it’s much harder to cook to perfection than meat.

Italian/French
I love to eat both cuisines, I couldn’t pick one.

Summer/Winter
You may remember yesterday I said winter was my favourite time for seasonal ingredients, but of course there’s always the pull from the variety you get in the summer!

Coffee
No brainer. It’s the only way to survive long days in the kitchen….and parenting!

Main
Can often pass when it comes to ordering dessert. Doesn’t mean i’m no good at creating desserts though.

Rugby
A random one to end with, but incase you’re new around here rugby plays a huge part in my life. These days not finding the day after games feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus that fun but the camaraderie of being part of a team is a feeling that’s hard to replicate.

Let’s play a game. Get the same answer and you’re out…plus a little chance to get to know me more.

Thanks England Rugby for the inspo.

Best time of year for seasonal ingredients?

For me it’s winter. As a chef it makes you get more creative to use the ingredients in different ways.

Worst vegetable?
(Need no convincing on this one!)

Sprouts! So bad they haven’t even created an emoji for them!

Favourite style of knives?

Lighter than other styles and easy to maintain profile. And…they’re beautiful!

Style of food you could eat every day?

Asian.
It has is all..
Flavour
Colour
Texture
Freshness
Local

It’s so broad - sushi / Indian curry / ramen / pad Thai / pho / kimchi / Thai curries / rendang / kebab / dhal / reaching all the way to flatbreads and hummus, to name just a few!

Name a 3⭐️ restaurant.

Lasarte, Barcelona. I grew up in Barcelona - it has my heart. And so, it’s where my wife and I went on honeymoon and Lasarte Restaurant was a truly special dinner and experience.

Creating great food is actually simple when you understand flavour.

One thing I’ve learned over the years as a chef is that not everything needs to be fancy. You don’t need gels, foams, or complicated techniques to make incredible food.

Cook simple ingredients well. Give them care, attention, and respect. Focus on building flavour, and you’ll rarely go wrong.

One of the biggest things I see missing these days is seasoning. Learn how to season properly. Taste as you cook. Salt, acid, herbs, spices—used at the right time, they can completely transform a dish.

Food isn’t about showing off. It’s about bringing people together, creating memories, and sharing moments around the table.

Keep it simple. Cook with confidence. Cook with flavour.

A lot of people tell me they do not need more recipes. They just want to feel more confident in the kitchen.
That is exactly what my cookery sessions focus on. Practical skills that make everyday cooking easier and more consistent.
With spring ingredients starting to appear, it is a great time to sharpen the basics.
Message me if you would like details on upcoming sessions.

With spring getting closer, my diary for private chef work and meal support is starting to fill.
This is usually the time of year when many households begin reviewing their weekly routine and looking to get better structure in place.
If you have been thinking about putting proper food support in place, feel free to message me and we can talk through options.
