Over a decade ago I trained at a culinary school French Classical cooking, and attained my Red Seal. However I prefer cooking with seasonal ingredients, native to the land or homegrown ingredients, and easily found ingredients. Most of the dishes I prepare are simple, rustic but comforting. Meals that satisfy and are packed with flavour. Nothing fancy, just good, simple food. It’s very hard for me to duplicate a dish, since I usually just wing it, but people have been asking for the recipes, so I’m going to try harder to remember and record what I do. Cheers!
