What is Chef-explorer?

Excuse me if I am new to this blogging business, so I will learn as I go!


Since I published my first book and presented myself at a few book events to read a story, I often get the big Q, like Who, What is Chef -Explorer? Hmmnn, good question. Well to cut a long story short (and that can be hard for me, once I get going, believe me! Ask my students!), it and I am a combination of being a Traveller and a Chef. Thats the simplist definition. But its more about Exploring the Culture as well as the Food and that can open all sorts of exciting possibilities from exotic ingredients, adventure, music and even some mind boggling philosophy!

Over the last 30 years I have kept diaries, and even with my first book, I have not even touched the surface of them yet. So expect many an entertaining Tale to come.


Ultimately the aim of Chef-Explorer is to get families and especailly kids sat around the table But also link to local suppliers and seasons, protecting the envirionment in the process. Lets all do our bit for our World. This blog is only the beginning, so jump on board and come exploriong with me!

Subscribe to my Youtube channel below folks for another live video on Catalonian dishes. This is the lovely Spinach & Pine-nut Dish-very quick to make/just a 10 minute video. I was in a rush (life!) so I mentioned  chicken from last week, just ignore that-its live! i also toasted the pine nuts in the oven but all details are in my recipe on my website on the 'Classes' page. This video shows the main points. For Vegetarains you can miss out the Ham and replace with another seasonal veg of your choice. Enjoy!
