Recipes
A collection of recipes where I hope to spread the word if it needs spreading and give away my trade secrets on request, many of which have been inspired by the children’s workshops in Kent that I run.
Click on the following images or drop down the menu to find some easy and healthy dishes that will hopefully inspire!
Eat Like a Viking
Ever popular, very healthy and simple to cook, these Scandinavian recipes conjure up the very image of food cooked over a warm campfire by our forebears.
The reality of these meals is that they were likely to have been cooked up by many North European civilisations over thousands of year and were not just exclusive to our friends in the North!
Chilli Time!
Some like it hot or at least I do!
Here are some of my most popular dishes, both meaty and vegan. Jam-packed with flavour and simple to cook. These dishes taste even better prepared outside over fire!
Roman Recipes
It is only until recently that life expectancy matched that of the Romans. As well as the many things they brought to these isle, their food and cooking techniques continue to inspire nearly 2000 years since they landed on the shores of Kent.
Apples, Apples, Apples
Living a 20 minute walk away from Brogdale, the home of the National Fruit Collection, it would be impossible not too include some of the cuisine that I’ve used on my workshops and event days at this awesome location
Stone Age Cooking
This must rank as one of my favourite time periods of history (also the longest spanning 3 million years!) Here you can find some of my favourite Stone Age meals that I have enjoyed cooking in schools and at home. For me the sheer simplicity of some of these techniques shows us how our forebears were able cook and enjoy the food they hunted, gathered and eventually grew.
Kitchen Garden Recipes
As someone who tries to grow as much food as possible in my own kitchen garden, it is of course an honour to work with the gardening team at Belmont where I hold many of my public workshops. Included here is perhaps my most popular dish, my vegetable stir-fry, which I have cooked with thousands of children, some as young a 3!
Eastern European Delights
Inspired as ever by the wonderful children I work with, here is a collection of tasty and traditional dishes from our continental friends. Here you will find child- friendly recipes for Borscht, Blinis and Bigos, plus more..
Beach Recipes
Over the past few years I have been lucky enough to join up with HatHats Coffee at their Reculver Country park venue, and run a series of healthy cooking workshops on the beach. Here is a selection of recipes that I have used in these sessions.
Classic Comfort Food
On this page I have decided to write down my most loved recipes with tips on how to cook them outside over fire. Far from challenging these dishes such as Cottage Pie and Venison casserole seem to have their flavour enhanced by cooking them with fire!
