Welcome to The Accidental Chef. The goal here is to cook according to the Great British seasons as much as possible. Of course, there will be store cupboard recipes, drinks and times when we just cook what we fancy, that’s the joy of food right? This is my personal cookbook and a place to document my ever-evolving food journey and keep my favourite recipes, forever.
