Have you ever thought of dining with:

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

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

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 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?

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.

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.
