“We have spent many evenings discussing how we could tell our journeys through food. From childhood memories to our most recent trips to a restaurant, we have spent our lives experiencing and learning about new flavours, ingredients and tastes… we are so excited to finally launch The Chateau Kitchen – a collection of our favourite recipes by us, and from our family archives”.
“We both grew up in families that showed love through food, and there is no question that this is where our quests for knowledge began. At different times in our lives and careers we have been in the kitchen. From simple family fun to the Celebrity Master Chef final, the more serious side of running a restaurant, and the decade that the Vintage Patisserie served very many high teas. It feels like food is in our DNA.
Every recipe in this book has a meaning and is part of our combined history. From the pancakes that our mums made, to apple pies, kidneys, to our wedding; indeed, all the way to the ‘now’, to the much-loved recipes that our children Arthur and Dorothy adore too. They all tell a story.
Recipes stay in families for generations and passing them over to loved ones is an important responsibility that cannot be taken lightly!”.
