So summer has gone and with it many of my favourite ingredients! I have always been a lover of seasonal ingredients and firmly believe that the only role a cook should play in creating a great dish is to use the best locally sourced, where possible organic, ingredients and to allow the natural flavours of those ingredients to speak for themselves. But fear not because we now enter the ‘hearty’ season for food when robust autumnal flavours dominate.

Talking of ingredients, what a nightmare, my wife has recently been diagnosed as having a total intolerance to gluten (Celiac Disease). I can’t begin to tell you how much of a problem this can be for someone who adores cooking and in particular loves to cook. I am now busy experimenting with various ingredients and am going to dedicate a full chapter to this subject in my new book.

However my biggest project at the moment is the development of our own boutique hotel! We have just acquired a fabulous townhouse on the Isle of Man called Birchfield House and we aim to open mid February 2008. Imagine stunning antique furniture, including the most romantic four poster beds, luxurious bathrooms and a beautiful intimate dining room set in the original library and you have the essence of what we want to create. This coupled with some of my fantastic dishes using superb local organic ingredients, make it my most exciting venture yet!
