In the Test Kitchen

Hundreds of recipes pass through my purpose-built Test Kitchen each year, all meticulously measured and timed to ensure that each dish not only tastes fantastic but works perfectly and is completely reliable.

What goes on inside the Test Kitchen

Inside the Test Kitchen no two days are the same, whether it’s recipe testing and development, filming content for tv and social media or washing up the dishes at the end of a busy day, it’s always a fun place to be.

A typical testing day is pretty much cook, eat, test, cook eat and test all day long… my team and I, fine tuning quantities and ingredients and modifying our notes until we’re all 100 per cent happy that we’ve created the ultimate version of my recipe.

Of course, all of this cooking requires some serious organisation and a rolling stock of ingredients to ensure we have everything we might need to hand. Much of our food is ordered ahead online these days, but we also use local produce where possible… sometimes so fresh and local we only have to take a step outside the doors into the Test Kitchen garden.

Test Kitchen Garden

We’re very proud of the garden – a lot of hard work goes into its maintenance and in the Summer months it’s teaming with life…. courgettes, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, carrots, aubergine, spinach, rhubarb, blackcurrants, apples, gooseberries, rocket, runner beans, lettuce to name just a few; plus just about every herb that will grow in the great British climate

 

Healthy Eating

The majority of my recipes are created with healthy eating in mind. So, whether you are looking for a hearty family meal, a new twist on a summer salad or just a simple supper for one, each dish is made with nutritious ingredients with reliable results guaranteed.

I post many of my creations on social media – see my Instagram page for updates and my Facebook page for more news on what’s happening in the Test Kitchen.

Feeling like a break from all that festive food? T Feeling like a break from all that festive food? This roasted veg salad may be just what you need. I’ve topped it with yoghurt that I’ve strained overnight in the fridge until it’s really thick - it’s lighter than cheese and is the perfect addition to a warm salad. I’ve sprinkled the salad with a few mixed seeds, added some leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. An easy way to kick off a healthy 2021! 🥗

It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's one I made in the test kitchen. Eat at home or on the go. To avoid soggy leaves, put the dressing in first and the leaves last, then only toss – or tip – when you are ready to serve 🌞
