My primary interests include food, drink and fashion. For many years, the preparation and delivery of food and fine cuisine has been my focus, having established and run my own cooking and catering company, including teaching, passing on recipes and tips, encouraging friends and associates to develop their skills and appreciation of the finer things in life.  My culinary interests and appreciation have extended to the supporting cast of compatible wines, cocktails and the classic spirits which enhance the dining experience. Obviously one cannot truly enjoy fine dining without being appropriately attired and therefore fashion is also an integral part of my life.

My website and blog is therefore a reflection of my views, based upon my preferences and criteria which I regard as critical to enjoying the dining experience and being successful. I enjoy reviewing my experiences by photographing and commentary. What I believe is important is the presentation, the actual taste against expectation, the ambience, the service and, very importantly, attention to detail and the small things that matter.
