The Personal Chef service
is firmly based around the philosophy of sourcing the highest quality ingredients
possible, preferring to work within the seasons - thus ensuring the freshest
produce available. Where clients
specify, organic ingredients can be used.
With London offering such a vast array of suppliers, The Personal Chef is able
to source a rich variety of both conventional and unusual ingredients right on
the doorstep - Fine aged Herdwick lamb & Galloway beef from Farmer Sharp,
top quality poultry from Wyndham House, rare
wild mushrooms from Booth's and
an abundance of fresh vegetables from New Covent Garden Market.
Culturally diverse, London is also home to many fascinating and richly stocked
international importers and suppliers -
Italian delicacies from Fratelli Camisa,
Spanish products from Brindisa, the finest Indian spices from Dadu's as well
as many less well known stores selling Arabic, North African and Asian treasures.
With such a mouth watering choice of ingredients at hand, London offers wonderful
opportunities to sample some of the best produce available. Jens will discuss
all of the possibilities with your budget - before going to buy the ingredients
(usually on the day of cooking) and finally combining them sensitively in the
kitchen..
