Yard One

The London producer certainly knows his way around a kitchen…

 

A record that always reminds you of Ibiza….

Dan Berkson’s ‘If I Was A Man’ became a personal anthem throughout the summer when we were hosting Square One vs Jaunt at Savannah’s…

If you could have a master-class with a celebrity chef, who’d you pick and why?

Anthony Bourdain, he’s brutally honest so you know you’d learn how to do things properly, the post master-class drinking session would be undoubtedly great too

Dead or alive – 3 famous people you would invite around for dinner…

Miles Davis, Jim Morrison and Hunter S Thompson, this could get messy…

A dish you have yet to master…

Aubergine wrapped ricotta gnocchi, I can never get it to look as amazing as Yotam Ottolenghi does though

Your favourite pizza topping

Buffalo Mozarella and basil, keep it simple

Your biggest ever food cock up

Cutting into a steak right off the grill, you need to let it sit for a while and retain all the goodness you’ve put so much effort into

A dish you just cannot stomach

Anything gelatinous, I can’t stand the texture

You get in from the club pissed, dive in the fridge and usually come out with…

Something stodgy/deep fried to soak up all the booze, cook some chips and make some chipotle mayo and you’re golden, or lots of fruit if you can’t stomach much else

The most disgusting thing you have ever eaten at a festival

Nothing for a few days was a bad move. Festival food’s never overly appealing in the midst of the madness.

The last time you used a cook book for a meal…

A few days ago, I made Ottolenghi’s Caramelised fig, orange and goat’s cheese salad

Ibiza…

My favourite restaurants on the island…

El Chringuito Cala Gracioneta, I used to spend a lot of time in Cala Gracio when I lived in Ibiza, it’s a stunning spot just outside of San Antonio

The best sunset spot for a cold drink…

Benniras beach with some beers

The perfect 24 hours in Ibiza would be…
