Simple Pleasures

Wow. Been very slack on this little thread, haven't I? And I fear I may have done this one before but: a) it's a blog not a bloody encyclopedia; and b) it's worth repeating anyway.

This year has been perhaps the best year I've ever had in terms of memorable culinary experiences. There have been amazing opportunities, amazing flavour combinations, amazing skills in amazing countries from all sorts of amazing chefs. Man cannot live by Michelin Stars alone, however. Sometimes man just fancies ham, egg & chips - especially if it comes with a pint of Doom Bar and the company of my Dad.
