Have you ever thought of dining with:

The Ancient Romans

The Vikings
Lord Nelson's Fayre
Crusader Cuisine
Shakespeare
Romeo & Juliet 
Samuel Pepys
The Tudors
Christopher Columbus
Guy Fawkes

Have you thought about getting your family and friends to dress
up in costumes of that time to add more fun.  

Tudor Feast

Guy Fawkes

Shakespearean Meal

Elizabethan Dinner

Titanic Supper

     

 

Our geographical themed dinners are based upon personal experience of having lived and cooked in these areas:
 

 

Dorset

Dorset, my first home, has a great store of wonderful local ingredients. Fresh fish and shellfish, its wonderful lamb, apples
and cheeses and I have often been asked to recreate these dishes when I am working abroad.
 

     

Malta

Malta is my second home. Its cuisine is some of the finest and 
has been influenced  by its indigenous people and many foreign invaders. Have you thought of trying Aljotta (fish soup), Fenek
(rabbit) and Bragioli (Beef olives) without having to catch a plane.

     

Sicily

Having been lucky enough to  work in a Palace in Sicily,  Casa Cuesini, then owned by the now sadly late Miss Daphne Phelps, author of A House in Sicily. Not one piece of  pizza was eaten! 
I came home, with thanks to Concetta, Daphnes retired cook and housekeeper, with a wonderful but uniquely simple Mediterranean recipe base, using fresh ingredients such as fennel, artichoke,
smoked aubergine, chicken, prawns and not forgetting the
delightful Sicilian spaghetti cake.  

     

Scotland

I was flown to Scotland to prepare for a 70th birthday party as
the second chef.  I worked with a wonderful Scottish Chef called
Betty who taught me a great deal in the ways of Scottish
Culinary skills.

     

     
Our list is for Themed Dinners is endless and has taken over three years to research.

 If you have any ideas that we have not listed please don't hesitate to ask.
