Dave Seaman
One of the alltime superstar DJs who has travelled the world two million times over invites us into his culinary pleasures…
The record you put on in the morning to start the day with a smile…
I don’t have a specific record. Shaun Keaveny on BBC6 Music starts my days for me and never fails to raise a smile. In fact, 6 Music tends to be on all day in our house. They’ve got a great daytime line up of presenters…Lauren Laverne, Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie, Steve Lamacq. Highly recommended.
You travel the world DJing. The most unusual thing you have ever eaten is…
This…Grasshoppers and worms in Mexico. It’s a delicacy apparently. But that’s what they all say!
My favourite restaurant in the UK is…
Although it’s closed for the minute, The Fat Duck in Bray. An evening of pure theatre with food at the very centre.
Your guilty pleasure food. You know you shouldn’t but you always do…
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. The crack cocaine of chocolate bars…
Do you cook?
I do cook although I wouldn’t say I’m particularly adventurous. That’s more to do with a lack of time than a lack of inclination though. I’m afraid a Sunday roast would be my most accomplished offering.
It’s all shit, but the best airline food is…
British Airways long haul business class is pretty decent these days. Not that I get to travel business class all the time these days which probably makes it more of a treat when I do.
If you could have a master-class with a celebrity chef, who’d you pick and why?
Heston Blumenthal. I find the science he brings to cooking really interesting.
When I know I am locked in the studio all night I make sure the fridge is full of…
Beer.
The best food in a restaurant I have ever had was where…
The deep fried oysters at Nobu are out of this world. Stunning.
Dead or alive, the 5 people from history I’d invite to a dinner party and why?
That could change weekly but for now I’ll go with…Jesus Christ, Bill Hicks, Leonardo Da Vinci, Marilyn Monroe and Nile Rodgers.
The dish that reminds me of my childhood…
Strawberry flavour Angel Delight.
My favourite restaurant in Ibiza…
Amante Beach Club at one end of the spectrum and the Fish Shack at the other.
The best spot to watch the sunset in Ibiza…
Mambo in San Antonio. It’s my home from home on the island. Javier, Christian, Alan, Pete, and Dee are all good friends.
The best Paella on the island…
Sa Caleta takes some beating.
A record that always reminds me of Ibiza…
Chicane ‘Offshore’ (Original Mix) A true balearic beauty.
