John was born about 30 years ago on the south coast of England (well, in a hospital, not on the shoreline or anything).
Since then he has lived and worked in seven different countries, doing all sorts of random things, and is very soon about to move to an eighth.
John has worked in a few kitchens at various times. His first experience of a commercial kitchen was cooking breakfast in a busy department store restaraunt and frying hundreds of eggs in an incredibly short space of time – the scars are faded but still there.
His current day job has nothing at all to do with food, but it does pay the bills. It’s a temporary measure until either this website becomes hugely successful and influential and he becomes a full time food blogger, or manages to save enough money to put his other plan (ominous, eh?) into operation.
John likes smelly cheeses and until recently wasn’t really sure what he wanted to be.
“Every dish is like a little art installation, on display for one person for one fleeting moment of time. It’s like a private one night show, with hours of work, skill and passion poured into it, for the sole consumption of a one person audience.”
“It’s as if it cuddles you from the inside as you are eating it. Bread isn’t sexy, but it feels like a food that wants to make you safe and happy.”
