 Friday: Day off I was in bed when I get a call asking if I can work, so on my bike and off to work I go. I am on cold today with one of the new but very slow guys, so got to make sure we are set. The slow guy is called Guy, I sent him down stairs to do prep, get him out the way!

HIX FIX FLOAT !

HIX FIX FLOAT is a take on the classic kids coke float but with English sparkling wine "champagne" chopped Hix Fix cherry's and cherry ice cream yummy!


Saturday : Double shift I am down stairs doing prep, Half way in to the shift we here about the snow, I pop out to see half a foot of snow and now I know I am not riding home.
I lock up and dig my bike out the snow and start walking. I had a go at riding but got covered by icy sludge.. 1 hour later I am in bed.

Digging my bike out. 

Sunday: Did not want to fall of my bike today so took the hour long walk to work not such a bad walk .cold section tonight, good shift things are staring to pull together and go smooth now. Got the tube home with a little direction from one of the other chefs.

The end of my walk.

HIX BELGRAVIA

GOOD MORNING ALL.

So this week and next week I will be in London helping out at the opening of HIX BELGRAVIA ten floors of rooms thats a lot of food to cook.

Monday: Train to London, made my way to the hotel on my bike for a tour of the kitchen, turns out theres a main kitchen ,pastry kitchen and prep kitchen. I ended up sticking around for the tasting to see what food I would be making.

Tuesday: After a few pints in the star the night before this made my journey to work a lot harder because I had no idea where I was going :). Today I was on Cold this is all the cold food on the menus, a lot of prep for a busy day, lots of new dishes lots to learn. All went well had a real good day

Wednesday: Pastry... So first things first waffle machine on, re churn the sorbets and set up the up stairs section for service. lots of running from pastry to the main kitchen today so my legs now hurt. To end my shift Ronnie the head of pastry chef asks if I can ride over to Selfridges to pick up some cake cutters, " yer why not " its so cold!!!.

Thursday: Today checked out of my B&B 4mins from work and moved my stuff to Ronnie's over 30mins in the cold, my ears felt like they where going to shatter. Do not start till 3 so going to have a wonder in london and get some warm things for riding .
