What Makes Curtis Tick

Ever since I was young I've always been fascinated with food - whether it was making marmalade with my Nan and Grandad or fudge with my Granny. I've always realized it was food that brought my family and friends closer together. I often hear people say that they don't have the time to cook. Well, actually, a good home cooked meal can take less time than waiting for a take-in pizza! And be a lot more fun. It's one of life’s' great pleasures."

Keep it Fresh

"The key to great cuisine starts with great ingredients and that's why I'm always interested in how ingredients are sourced and produced. My favourites are organic and natural foods - preservative and chemical free. You often hear people say, "Tomatoes just don't taste like they used to." Well, the fact is, they don't taste like they used to because they're not grown like they used to. I recommend that we always try to buy fresh, seasonal produce."
