One of my favourite things about being a chef and working so closely with food is the attention to detail! When you sit down and order something, you simply look at the produced result and decide... ok this looks like something I can enjoy! But for me working with food is about so much more than just the result at the end of the day, it is about food preparation, understanding flavours, knowing which textures compliment each other and which ones should be left for another day! Deciding on a tantalising menu of canapés to compliment an evening of colourful cocktails takes time and consideration! Here's what ultimately went down....like a treat!
