Describe your cooking style in three words: Rustic. Seasonal. Local.

What’s the best cooking advice you’ve ever received? "Don’t try and be too neat and tidy, sometimes mess looks better." — Eric Lanlard

If you could share a meal with anyone in history who would it be? I’d have loved to sit down with Keith Floyd and have a proper natter about food. He looks like the kind of person who really enjoys a good meal from start to finish with no pretensions.
