Being a chef, you are surrounded by fantastic food and ingredients all day. You cook to your own satisfaction in your kitchen, you are entertained magnificently; but sometimes, at home you crave something simple, something that reminds you of the food you grew up with.

The English repertoire is now very well catered for. There are many good, wholesome, well made meals available through specialist producers and even some of the supermarkets. But the type of food I crave is from my home. The traditional foods of France.

And so I have chosen some of my favourite things; classic French produce, wonderful and authentic ingredients and then beautiful gifts made by French artisans and made them available through our little shop in Milton Keynes.

For many years I have been waiting for the opportunity to let people enjoy my food in their homes.

My Maman Blanc meal range is prepared in my kitchen in Milton Keynes. Authentic French dishes, ready to take away, influenced by the food my mother used to cook in our home. At the moment we have a delicious Boeuf Bourgignon, slow cooked for 6 hours to the exact same recipe as I use in my restaurants. I hope that soon I will be able to offer these more widely to people who would like to eat my food at home all over the UK.
