Being a judge of these prestigious awards made my winning a star even more special! I designed a spice paste to be used in two of my menus with recipe company Cookaway and I worked with Alice of Northumbrian Pantry to produce it. Seeing the appeal that the paste had with their stockists, Alice and her husband David decided to submit it to the Guild Of Fine Food as a result of which a star was awarded. You can try the paste if you order my Chicken Pastitsada or Aubergine Kritharoto from Cookaway or buy direct from Northumbrian Pantry.
