Most of us know you can’t copyright a dish (see this article on The Guardian) but the correctness of dishes is highly debated from Chicken Tikka Masala (is it Punjabi… or Glaswegian?) to Jamie Oliver coming under fire last year for putting chorizo in a paella recipe.

As we were waiting to pick up our kids recently one of the other mums asked me how my restaurant, Gloucester Studio was going. I gave her a brief update of what’s been happening since it appeared on Hidden Restaurants with Michel Roux Jr and suddenly it was as though everyone wanted to talk to…

Coverage on Gloucestershire Live The Gloucester story…
I happened across a copy of Broccoli and Brains recently and my curiosity was piqued (enough to order the other copies). As a complete nerd, reading material on the topic of dieting which wasn’t illustrated with women laughing at salad was something I could actually sink my teeth into (so to speak). Before I reached…
I have a secret and I’ve been keeping it for ever so long but the word is almost out. There’s a new TV program coming and it’s going to be so exciting. So officially I’m not saying much but there aren’t many fine dining sheds which seat just eight are there? In fact I’m pretty…
This month Karen Keygnaert made news when she rejected a Michelin star. Her reasons make a lot of sense. As she told The Independent, “The star brings along a whole circus that’s outdated.
