Fishbones: November 2008
http://thechefsnet.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 November 2008. Fish and Chips – reign supreme…. Those of you who know “Pappa Cod” well will know I am a big fan of the establishment “Chez Fred”. In Westbourne, Bournemouth. I have long said this is the epitome of what good fish and chips should be and it still continues to impress. Every table also has a customer comment card that is so well worded it makes filling it out a real pleasure. On top of that the fish and chips is really the outstanding feature. Even when they get it wrong ...It wa...

Fishbones: New Year...more blogging...
http://thechefsnet.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-yearmore-blogging.html
Wednesday, 13 January 2010. New Year.more blogging. Some highlights to the end of 2009 for this old fish was a dinner at Le Cafe Anglais.much enjoyed for a starter was a fish quenelle that was a classic - a light earthy flavour and delicate texture had me enraptured. Then just before Christmas I paid a visit to Zurich in Switzerland that enabled me to visit some old stomping grounds and partake in some Swiss hospitality and efficiency! Someones research had not been totally thorough and correct. Publishe...

Fishbones: May 2009
http://thechefsnet.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 10 May 2009. I recently came across the following article "Menus by design". That makes some very interesting reading. It is by Nick Lander a venerated writer in the Financial Times and he hits the nail on the head with his comments. Friday, 8 May 2009. Chefs and business, do they mix? By Gary Witchalls, Chef Patron, The Mole Inn. Toot Baldon, Oxfordshire. I was asked to pen a viewpoint for “Fishbones”. The answer, of course, is yes. The real question is "Do they mix well? And "well" must surely ...

Fishbones: Keith Floyd R.I.P.
http://thechefsnet.blogspot.com/2009/09/keith-floyd-rip.html
Tuesday, 15 September 2009. Keith Floyd R.I.P. It is with sadness to think a legend in terms of TV/Celebrity Chef has passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting the man a couple of times but I am sure he would not have remembered me. The next occasion was when working for Egon I was asked to inspect his Pub/Restaurant in Totnes, South Devon in the late 80’s. The Malsters Arms that he then cleverly renamed - "Floyd’s Inn". His legacy of cookery programmes will have inspired a generation of cooks and chefs...

Fishbones: March 2009
http://thechefsnet.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 20 March 2009. Following a recent trip to Spain’s most southern region “Pappa Cod” was blown away by a visit to the daily market of the small town of La Linea on the border with Gibraltar. Here was locally grown oranges being sold at one euro for three kilos, an amazing and outstanding bargain. More impressive was the display of fresh fish in the market that had a permanent queue of patronage eager to purchase. Madness in a recession. Following an even more heated discussion the receptionist even...

Tuesday, 27 January 2009. Virgin on the ridiculous.
