Monday, 3 May 2010. What happened to the month of April? Luckily they got the boat going and I made it back to Haad Rin to catch the ferry to Samui and then onto Bangkok. The first charity has an office in Brighton and is called Bottletop. I'm helping them with marketing projects and also their grants programme. You can check out there website here, although we are working on a redesign of this at the moment. Http:/ www.bottletop.org/. The other charity I am volunteering for is a Theatre production compa...

Tripping2010: Swimming with Sharks: Mon 22 March
http://tripping2010.blogspot.com/2010/03/swimming-with-sharks-mon-22-march.html
Wednesday, 24 March 2010. Swimming with Sharks: Mon 22 March. Following lunch at the Buddha Cafe (where I have yet another veggie omelette made with spinach and shiitake mushrooms - so good I must recreate when I get home! I join the dive school for two fun dives. I'm in quite a small group and have an instructor as my buddy so I see loads of fish including the supercute Box Fish. We also see two different species of Trigger Fish playing together which is quite unusual. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tripping2010: Last day of Scuba Course: Thur 18 March
http://tripping2010.blogspot.com/2010/03/last-day-of-scuba-course-thur-18-march.html
Thursday, 18 March 2010. Last day of Scuba Course: Thur 18 March. I wake to torrential rain which means that conditions out at sea will be choppy. Its a very early start (7am) and I take-up the offer of a seasickness tablet from my instructor, just in case the big waves make me queasy. When we go to jump into the sea the waves are very big and the current strong. We descend down a buoy rope for a bit. This is our 18m dive and it does feel quite deep! Once we are back at Chalok I have a quick lunch and th...

Tripping2010: June 2010
http://tripping2010.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 June 2010. Foraging in Stanmer Park - June 2010. If tempted to try any of these ideas, please remember the countryside code and only pick 1 in every 19 plants and only pick enough for yourself. Leave enough for the animals and the next generations. The beautiful Ash tree has clumps of seeds called Ash Keys. You can just about see them in the first photo above. In Spring, when they first appear, you can gather the Ash Keys and steam them like spinach. In Spring you can eat the new shoots of ...

The Ginger Chef: July 2011
http://thegingerchef.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2011. COOKING art or craft? I was in a book shop recently and saw a book by Escoffier called “le guide culinaire” or the culinary guide in English. The strap line for this book was “the art of modern cookery” This got me thinking whether modern cookery or indeed any cookery is an art form at all. I have been asked many times whether cooking is art or craft and it is a difficult one to answer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Elsewhere on the web. Hello, I am The Ginger Chef also known as Ben ...

The Ginger Chef: Glorious mushrooms, wild and tame
http://thegingerchef.blogspot.com/2011/09/glorious-mushrooms-wild-and-tame.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Glorious mushrooms, wild and tame. The end of the summer is usually met with mixed feelings, some of you will say that they don’t remember a summer at all this year but that is another story. For chefs just as summer starts by bringing lots of different ingredients, think peas, broad beans, asparagus, jersey royals, new season lamb to name a few, so does Autumn. Claude Bosi a 2 Michelin star chef of Hibiscus restaurant in Mayfair had a sweet Cep tart on the menu when I went la...

The Ginger Chef: March 2011
http://thegingerchef.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. Similarly any delay at an airport or somewhere else is no longer a problem if you are not with children because you are so used to having no time, that you are able to occupy yourself easily. Every year we give away hundreds of pounds worth vouchers to various charities across Brighton and Sussex. These are all deserving charities but this year we thought we should concentrate on one charity in particular and try to make a big difference. One of the things we will be doing to supp...
