Woody Guthrie - Workin' Hard Blues

November - March

During the winter months, new products are investigated and sourced, potential new suppliers are contacted and new techniques are tested and photographed daily. Chefs attend specialist courses and visit food and drink trade fairs. Inspiration comes not only from visits to restaurants and food markets around the world, but might also come from local hardware shops (where new tools not previously used in cookery might be discovered), museums and art galleries, and walks in the countryside. The chocolate dusts and powders of the dessert Earth, for example, were inspired in 2003 by the colours and textures of the earth in the Australian bush.

“I should advise you to put it all down as beautifully as you can — in some beautifully bound book,” Jung instructed. “It will seem as if you were making the visions banal — but then you need to do that — then you are freed from the power of them. . . . Then when these things are in some precious book you can go to the book & turn over the pages & for you it will be your church — your cathedral — the silent places of your spirit where you will find renewal. If anyone tells you that it is morbid or neurotic and you listen to them — then you will lose your soul — for in that book is your soul.”
