I`m a father to 2 daughters & a grandpa to 2 boys,i`m a hairstylist by trade who simply uses his kitchen as a chill out zone.I love to travel,and in doing so i love to pick up lots of cooking tips,have met many English celebrity chefs & admire them,i love the USA as i adore the BBQ,so when i`m in the states i pick up lots of spice blends ,seasonings & sauces.
My favorite things to cook
Steaks,Ribs,Peri Peri Chicken,Chinese,Mexican,mostly outdoors on the bbq,also love to cook a spanish paella,i adore cooking anything that gets everybody around the table.
My favorite family cooking traditions
As a family we never socialise without food,my grandad was a cook in the army so i guess my skills came from him,thankyou George ,we get to gether in the garden whenever the english weather allows us to.
My cooking triumphs
I once cooked a bbq for over 60 people in my garden,using a variety of 5 grills ,that was for our 25th wedding anniversary,great day
My cooking tragedies
Again at a friends bbq i cooked for them ,but did not supply the food,they tried to do it on the cheap & presented me with cheap pink sausages,so full of fat that they flared up & caught the bbq on fire,burning all the food in the process.Great if you love a little charcoal on your plate.
