A Private Chef

Working as a private chef on a small family farm, deep in the countryside of rural England. I make vinegar, forage, preserve, smoke and ferment the ingredients around me and am also the guardian of two rather obstinate honeybee colonies.

“A Private Chef seized hold of my appetite weeks ago with enticing black currant leaves wrapped around beetroot, charred from wood-fire, and he hasn't stopped titillating my palate since. Not only are his recipes beyond inspired. His images are tantalizing, and his writing always leaves me hungry for more. ”
