A RECIPE FROM RAYMOND<br />
I sit writing this in the most<br />
bucolic of settings - we are<br />
lucky in that our offices are<br />
within farmlands (we are<br />
actually housed in a former<br />
hen shed - we say that’s why<br />
we sometimes run around<br />
like headless chickens).<br />
From my desk, I get to<br />
watch the seasons change -<br />
we welcomed the swallows<br />
who put on the most<br />
wonderful of shows - and<br />
only occasionally knocking<br />
into the windows during<br />
their frenzied activity!<br />

COMPETITIONS<br />
We are really looking forward<br />
to the warmer months,<br />
and this issue is certainly<br />
a celebration of that. We<br />
caught up with French<br />
chef Raymond Blanc and<br />
were lucky to have a really<br />
insightful chat with him<br />
about the British food scene<br />
and his love of teaching -<br />
we also managed to nab a<br />
recipe from his latest book.<br />

Until then, school’s out!<br />
