I took three years out from the kitchen to manage a local fishmongers, which I believe was an invaluable experience to get hands on with some of the best fish in the world!

However, being married to a Cornish farmer I can’t get away from my love of good Cornish reared beef, lamb and pork.  I use two local butchers who are able to tell me the exact farm and location of their produce.

The cheese from Cornwall is second to none and indeed Cornwall is home to many great award winning cheeses, one of my favourites being the ‘Wild Garlic Yarg’.
