Growing a Youtube channel is a full of ups and downs, the competition just to get seen is fierce and each year I have feelings of elation and frustration in equal measure.

Through it all , the number of subscribers continues to grow, in fits and starts….but never the less it is growing – since August 2025 I have added 3,000 more subscribers which is wonderful.

If you haven't yet visited my youtube channel why not take a look?

In recent years on both sides of the Atlantic, January has been renamed as Veganuary to encourage more people to become vegetarian or vegans. Whilst becoming a vegetarian is not for everyone, it is an ideal opportunity to eat a few veggie meals and shed some of those Christmas and New Year pounds. So with that in mind I decided to make my first recipes of 2026 vegetarian, because after holidays I need to lose 5-6 pounds myself!

Here is my latest Youtube recipe, Lobster and Roasted Pepper Risotto. 

Since 2015 I have been a judge at the World Steak Challenge a competition to find the very best steak in the world.  This year, over 500 entries competed for this industry respected accolade. The sixty judges (chefs, butchers and meat experts) from around the globe came together in Amsterdam for the contest.
