Kitchen Jazz

Jazzettes Celebrating Life with DELICIOUS food, inspirational conversation and sunset drinks. I was so taken by the Spinach, cheddar and leek flatbread that tonight I will endeavour to recreate my own version. Still dreaming of the flavours and textures!

Some ideas for your next charcuterie board!

Very tasty lunch at Waterman’s. Wood fire cooking at its best with a perfect blend of spices. Very inspiring!

End of summer celebrations - ripe tomatoes, puff pastry, soft goats cheese and freshly picked basil

Lovely Seamus was in my kitchen 16 years ago and last night he visited again with his gorgeous mother who is one of my Frequent Fryers. This gives me great joy. It’s why I do it.

A 2 hour skewering job was surprisingly relaxing and fulfilling. Fresh tasty morsel combos to have with bubbles for a client. . .

Would I go back to Olympus Dining? Yes! The standout was the Octopus - Sensational! The woodfire char was perfectly complemented with Greek honey and lemon. Totally inspired to recreate it this weekend

Strawberries in France in Summer soooo juicy and red and sweet!!

I picked up fresh fragrant produce at Amboise markets this morning. Can anyone guess what Iplan to make for dinner ce soir?

International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate women’s courage, achievements, equality and peace. Christine and Caroline (my treasured Jazzettes and in the early days, Maree) have supported me and shared the ups and downs with patience, strength and humour. Thank you also to all of my beautiful women friends and family who enrich my life 💕

Our annual Jazzettes Christmas Lunch. We eat, we drink, we swap stories and we laugh. Merry Christmas everyone!

Parmigiana Risotto with lightly smoked cod and nettle puree - a humdinger of a local dish in Griffith. Delicious!
