Emily's Frankies' Ginger Ham and Green Bean Salad

The recipe student Emily Schmidt selected includes the use of ginger beer and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to prepare her Frankie’s Ginger-Beer Poached Gammon. I know that as you look at the photograph (taken by the school’s new photographer, Kate Martens) and read up the recipe, you’ll be asking yourself why you save gammon for Christmas.

Chocolate Profiteroles

Karen Edwards' photograph of my chocolate profiteroles clearly illustrates how tasty these little chocolate delights are. I would have a chocolate profiterole every day of my life; if that was at all possible.

Smoked Trout Terrine Salad

As with most of Karen Edwards' suggestions, this smoked salmon trout terrine is light, fresh and simply delicious. I consider it an ideal way to make and present smoked salmon trout. I hope we taught her some cooking tips along the way.

Avocado & Asparagus Salad

The avocado-and-asparagus salad was from my last shoot with Karen Edwards so it was a very memorable day - busy but unforgettable. We always wished for an afternoon off so that we could sip on a glass of wine and just chill. This didn’t happen - maybe on her return…

Apple Puff Tart with Amarula Ice Cream

I’m not sure whether it was the poached-apple puff tart or the Amurala ice cream that convinced Karen Edwards to keep coming back for tasters. At that stage my sous chef, Elaine Boshoff, and I were taking very unprofessional photographs with our very basic cameras.

Trout Spring Rolls & Sweet Chilli Sauce

Karen Edward's photo of trout spring rolls with sweet-chilli sauce brings back memories of such a happy day. The weather was glorious, the laughs were uncontrollable and the entire team got stuck in to find all the fishing equipment that was available to use as props for the shoot.
