McDonalds breakfast when I’m hung over
What is your signature dish?

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…

Benniras beach with some beers
Your favourite Ibiza dish
Paella, a Spanish classic
