FAQs

How would you wow the judges on Masterchef?
To wow the judges on MasterChef, we’d create a dish that combines bold creativity with precise execution, highlighting our signature style of elevating simple, seasonal ingredients into something extraordinary.
For instance, we’d present a deconstructed Welsh rarebit-inspired starter. The dish would feature a delicate cheese custard infused with aged cheddar and ale, served alongside a crisp parmesan tuile and a tangy tomato and mustard chutney. Each element would pay homage to classic flavors while showcasing modern techniques.
For the main, we’d craft a fusion of Welsh lamb and Middle Eastern spices—a perfectly seared lamb loin accompanied by spiced aubergine puree, a fragrant pomegranate and mint couscous, and a drizzle of honey harissa jus.
Dessert would be a showstopper: a smoked sea-salt caramel tart with a black treacle glaze, served with a quenelle of roasted pumpkin and orange ice cream, and a crumble of toasted hazelnuts for texture.
The aim would be to wow the judges not only with flavour and presentation but also with our ability to create a narrative on the plate that reflects our culinary passion and heritage!
What is the most innovative dish you have created for a wedding?
One of the most innovative dishes we’ve created for a wedding was a "Tasting Tower" designed to offer guests a unique, interactive culinary experience. The tower featured several mini courses served in stacked tiers, each representing a different aspect of the couple’s love story.
At the base, we started with a smoked salmon and beetroot tartare paired with a delicate herb crème fraîche. The next layer was a coconut and lemongrass-infused chicken ballotine, served with a tangy mango chutney. On the upper tiers, we offered mini Welsh lamb koftas with a cooling mint yogurt and a seared scallop with pea puree and truffle oil.
The idea behind this dish was not only to showcase a variety of flavours but to let guests enjoy a playful and visually stunning way to experience the couple’s journey. Each tier was presented in a way that encouraged guests to share and sample, sparking conversation and excitement throughout the evening. It was a true showstopper and an unforgettable culinary experience!
What is the food of love?
The food of love is all about comfort, connection, and indulgence. It’s the kind of food that brings people together, evokes memories, and makes moments feel truly special. For us, it’s dishes that are rich in flavor and meaning—something as simple as a lovingly prepared homemade dish, or an elegant feast that shares a couple's story.
What is your secret ingredient?
Our secret ingredient is passion. While we use the finest, freshest seasonal ingredients in everything we create, it’s the love and dedication we pour into each dish that truly sets our food apart. From carefully selecting every element of a menu to perfecting the balance of flavors, we believe passion is the key to turning every meal into an unforgettable experience. It’s this passion that drives us to constantly innovate, ensuring that every dish tells a story and leaves a lasting impression on our couples and their guests.
