Could you imagine a view any more Scottish than a loch at sunset?

This dreamy vista was all mine, following a one week residency at Cove Park in Helensburgh, catering a unique artist collaboration, which involved feeding guests foraged fare from around the area, as well as come of the invasive plant species that has come to dominate the landscape.

Feb was a very busy month for me - leaving Brighton for a new adventure, but not before a special request to cook for Song Sleuth.

A good friend, and CEO of the company, had been asking me to cater for his team for months, and we finally found a time that worked perfectly.

It seems like gone are the days when hen parties were all about plastic willy’s and dressing up in loo roll (such a lie, I went to one such hen this summer!).

Sophie’s hen was a very chic exception to this general rule, and so invited me to cook for her friends and loved ones in Henley, for a very special pre-wedding feast.

July is such a wonderful time of year for seasonal produce, so I jumped at the chance to be involved in a summer birthday.

I asked the birthday boy to choose some of his fave ingredients for inspiration, and he came back with an array of many of my favourites too…

A private dinner party for Jane's 60th, with a 4-course meal using her favourite ingredients.

I really wanted to produce a more pared down menu, so took inspiration from classic food combinations, with a simplified yet modern twist.
