Finally, a new Show ! I’ve been really busy, as you will here. This is sort of a come-back show. This may not be suitable for work, or small children because I get a little hot under the collar at a few places…..

This week’s show is the first, post-holiday and is packed with updates. Lots going on. Podchef talks about gardening, a horrible bout of bad weather, the polytunnel, forcing rhubarb,  and much more before getting stuck into making a fish pie.

This week’s episode is here!  The new Zoom H4 gets its test drive in this slightly longer show. In addition, a new oven has arrived in Kitchen Studio. I managed to score a new but never installed oven off of Craig’s List for a fraction of the cost and it works brilliantly.  We use it to make Profiteroles filled with Quince.

This show began way back in October. I had some technical difficulties, which are now solved. So here then are a couple of Cider Making 09 fragments joined together to create something I hope you’ll enjoy. First I gather Rose Hips to make syrup and then I cook a Green Tomao Curry.

Finally, after a long pause– a new episode! I’m sorry it has taken so long to post this. My life is not my own these days, as you will here. Hopefully, though, things will even out and I can continue to bring you a weekly show and more videos soon. Meanwhile, enjoy what you can.

Here’s a short film about what I got up to in the Month of August. From teaching an on-farm workshop, to harvesting barley, traveling across the country to cook and back to give a cooking demonstration at the county fair, it was a busy month. Enjoy.

Here’s a short film about my recent trip to the East Coast and the local meal I cooked there for some listeners to the show. After touring around the region where I grew up, I selected some cheese from Cato Corner Farmstead Cheese, some produce from Woodbridge Farm CSA, some excellent lamb from Sankow’s Beaver Brook Farm, and some interesting wines from Priam Vineyards. Along the way my host and I stopped at many farm stands to get additional items for our meal and at Jon’s Fish Market to get some amazingly local, fresh fish. Within a 20 mile radius of our base, Colchester, we found everything we needed to eat well, and that was all within 35 miles of where I grew up. Not bad for local dining with local food.

A new episode!  In it we cook a garden inspired Cold Chicken & Pea Noodle Salad. I also go off on a rant about the current, tragic compost poisoning issue in the UK.

Sorry about the pause in shows. It has been crazy here with haying, summer work, trying to earn a crust, and some exciting projects I’ve been working on. Thanks for hanging in there!

  Finally, a show! I’ve been busy with many things, so I apologize for the lack of shows.  This episode is a bit of a catch-up show. It’s been so long that I’ve even forgotten which episode number it was. First we catch up, then I take you out tilling, and its back to kitchen studio to learn about arugula and cook a pepperonata.
