New for 2018 - monthly Saturday Cook Club in Colvend

The Saturday Cook Club will take place once a month at Colvend Public Hall. This is for anyone that loves food. I will be demonstrating and sharing recipes and there will be lots of tasting as well as some hands-on fun. All welcome (children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult) and look out for updates on social media.

10/10 from Michelin star chef Glynn Purnell!

In 2017, I took part in a TV cooking competition filmed by Channel 4 called My Kitchen Rules UK.

Rebecca Hodgson from Birchfield Tea Room and Garden Centre in Dalbeattie and I, working together as a team, managed to get through to the quarter finals.

Glynn Purnell and Rachel Allen were the main judges and we also had the pleasure of meeting Gizzy Erskine, Thomasina Miers, Paul Ainsworth, Claude Bosi, Allegra McEvedy and Nigel Hogarth, who were all guest judges.

The highlight was receiving a 10/10 from Michelin star chef Glynn Purnell for my lemon polenta cake (pictured above). All in all, My Kitchen Rules UK was an experience I will never forget.

Great Taste, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, is the acknowledged benchmark for fine food and drink.

 In the 2017 competition, 12,366 products were entered and I'm very proud to say that my Toffee Fruit Nut Tart won an award. As only 35% of  the entries were accredited, my award is even more special. Roll on the 2018 edition!
