Sous Chef
@Xocolatl - it’s wonderful that you have been able to incorporate the foods of your heritage into your own food journey
My background is entirely English, and my parents were born before the Second World War, so they grew up in quite poor conditions.
Food was rationed, but it was made to go very far in most families.
This is where many traditional English dishes originated- puddings, stews, porridge etc.
I have many of these recipes in my repertoire, but I don’t often bring them out.
Because I worked so many years as a chef and had access to quality ingredients, my style is much more complex.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
