Lockdown restrictions eased – so what’s next! I
was recently asked what I had missed most during the recent lockdown restrictions imposed due to this tragic virus crisis? I did not need long to deliver my response; unsurprisingly to many who know me, simply dining out. Rather than eat to live, I live to eat! There is no greater joy, in my humble opinion (family celebrations apart)
than experiencing great food; but as a former Michelin Guide inspector, with a somewhat differing view from that of the current red book regime, the environment, ambience and service do make a significant contribution to one’s overall feeling, including perhaps whom one is accompanying? I have avoided Michelin starred restaurant deliveries,
both Thai and Western, not that I do not wish to support, but I sadly suspect I would be disappointed. It can never be the same as dining in these stellar establishments. I have, so far, chosen to survive on my own limited western cooking skills. But eating at home, no matter how good the food or grand the environment, cannot truly compete
