Recently, I had the opportunity to work on the Greek island of Mykonos as a villa chef. My principal, who I am employed by in London as a private household chef, asked me to accompany her to work in the villa she had rented for two weeks. What a great opportunity!

Over the last year a wide range of food and drink trends have appeared reflecting our changing attitudes towards health, the environment and the ethical impact of our food choices. The rise of veggie and vegan cuisine has turned the emphasis to vegetables more than ever. Long gone are the boiled carrots, broccoli and cauliflower side dishes. Now we are seeing sides of interesting vegetable combinations, all tossed together with oils, dressings, and the added crunch and texture of toasted seeds and nuts. Mixing different vegetables together also adds diversity and flavour to the side dish. We love Yotam Ottolenghi, he makes vegetables taste amazing! Granted his recipes are complex with lots of ingredients but they are well worth the effort. Better still, eat in his restaurants or delis. Eating veggie or vegan needn’t be boring, planning and thinking a little more about the dish can be very rewarding.
