The Grumpy Chef: June 2009
http://thegrumpychef.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 June 2009. Audacity of a Patron. Bon après-midi mes omlettes gargantuesques de baleine! I'm sure you can guess the outcome of my three delightful days off.I did bugger all! Nothing got done, the 'to do' list grew quicker than a genetically enhanced super melon and I endured the wrath of my Wife who would have been quite happy if I had just managed to put the kitchen clock on the wall! Five words projected themselves from my vocal chords."You gotta be f* * *g me! So, to now answer the questio...

The Grumpy Chef: May 2009
http://thegrumpychef.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 May 2009. Bring Back the Allotment and Chicken Coop! Bonsoir mes sorbets blancs scrumptious de chocolat! A little nostalgia for you this evening. This wondrous Bank Holiday has had me thinking of traditional grub. Good, wholesome and home-cooked. The type of food your Grandma would rustle up of an evening.Egg and Chips, Shepard's Pie, Toad in the Hole and even Cheese on Toast. Every single dish being served up 'en masse'! A good honest and wholesome meal the size of the latest M.P scandal?

The Grumpy Chef: September 2008
http://thegrumpychef.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 September 2008. Buena tarde mis gambas condimentadas sabrosas y blandas! O, to be back upon the shores of this green and pleasant land we call Home! All I can say, is that since the Balearic's and Spain adopted the Euro as currency, they have had only one objective.to screw the British out of whatever cash they have brought with them. Then charge 0.83 cents to the British Pound when you have to withdraw money from one of their 'convenient' Banque Marcs'! Bloody why, its not Germany! If you a...

Saturday, 22 May 2010. Viewing of a Chefs' Soul.Sick Bags Optional. Food is an experience! It can define a moment in time. It can inspire, invoke emotion and and cause Families to debate the human lottery of who will be peeling the spuds for Christmas dinner! Is it better to plump for the regular and everyday dishes? Play safe with the cooked through and well done plates of normality? It is time we began to experiment with our taste buds! As a Nation we have lost our way when it comes to food. We are...

http://thegrumpychef.blogspot.com/2010/09/cook-like-kid-as-published-in-one.html
Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Cook Like A Kid (As Published in ONE Magazine). Good god.being a chef can be boring at times. It’s not the hours or the getting changed 8 times a day or even the laborious meetings with officious officials from the FSA. (Damn killjoys banned unpasteurised foodstuffs and are proceeding to bring down the culinary elite by forcing us to microwave and to cook things “well done” the bastards.). The first thing you’re likely to remember is texture, that’s number one. ...The love of f...
