Show Notes

Chef Daniel Doherty set for OnBlackheath (©DavidCotsworth)

  • 12th & 13th September: OnBlackheath returns for its second year and promises a celebration of music, food and arts, alongside a vast array of entertainment and activities for families. The Chef's club line-up looks good.

  • Hospitality and Catering News kindly invited me to their recent #HandCSocial round table discussion. A lively bunch and a good debate.

  • Another @MarkKleinmanSky exclusive: Food Group Brakes Cooks Up £2.5bn Float Plan. Is this another business trying to become "too big to fail"?

  • Greggs has reported a strong first half of results. Chief Exec Roger Whiteside outlines why.

  • Some top chefs make their food predictions for 2015. Only four months left, so yeah.

  • Tim Martin DIDN'T complain about taxes or wage increases this week. So have a look at his expenses instead.

  • Shakfuyu in Old Compton Street. A pop-up we're also glad is hanging around for a bit.

  • Management Tip: Sharing calendars with your team - Guide to setting up Microsoft Outlook.com here, Microsoft Exchange here or here. Savvy Gmail users follow these instructions, and Apple aficionados can follow these 5 steps. Share permissions to edit and encourage collaboration.

Campaign: Save the Food Tech A-level

Food Teachers are campaigning to save the Food Technology A-Level. Another half-cocked decision that should be re-considered. You can support their campaign on Twitter @FoodTCentre and use the hashtag #savefoodtechAlevel.

You can read the consultation paper here (Food tech on page 17) & respond before 24 September 2015.

Oh, and this is the consequence when a generation of schoolchildren are starved of any cooking skills in class (pun intended):

You know there's a nationwide shortage of chefs when the Waterside Inn has to advertise vacancies: https://t.co/vSl1Hndqh2

If you're not familiar with The Waterside Inn, just check out this video of a dish being dressed on at the pass. There's more of a rounded profile of this seminal restaurant on YouTube here.
