Food lover , Blogger , amateur home cook , Wild food forager and hobby photographer . Father of 3 amazing children and based in Whitehaven Cumbria…..ok , so it`s in the back end of nowhere but its beautiful , pretty peaceful and the gateway to the English Lake district.
As for my day job…well its a world apart from my hobby – I work in a safety related job in the Nuclear industry , a far cry from Gastronomy.
Welcome to my blog and website and please leave any comments that you might feel would improve my site , as i said above …Its only a hobby.
Hi,
Congratulations, that looks amazing. Can you contact me by email please?
Thanks.
Really amazing photos and even more amazing food. I’d like to actually experience food like this some day.
Great photos! I just started a blog also can you give me your professional opinion on my blog.beercanbbq.com THANK YOU
Hi Alan. I’m a Cumbrian too and trying (emphasis on trying) to write a food blog myself. I’d be interested in getting in touch with you – do you have an email address? Thanks, Helen
sure do sped98@sky.com
Hi Alan,
I’m writing a story at the minute about, a family that live in Bowness, Could you help me with a bit of foraging knowledge?
What are the first edible plants and foods available each year in Cumbria?
I googled it and found you!
Cheers
Sam
Hi Sam ,
everything normally starts coming through early spring , March april time. Most of the photos on the foraging story were taken then.Check out the foraging post.
cheers

Hi, love this site and your photos and will add a link to you when we re do our food page on Visit Cumbria. Vanessa
From one Simon Haslam to another, this looks great.
brill stuff! if a little mad x
Oh wow. This blog is brilliant! I came across it while looking for meal ideas for guests tomorrow. I’m hoping to make some of it tonight, ahead of time. The guests are real foodies, people who have never been to our place but who have done so much for me lately – I want to try something special. I’m a veggie but OK at cooking meat. Any ideas? Good to know even if you don’t see this in time. I’ll be popping by your pages for food inspiration again and again. I’m also Cumbrian but living in London, so I’m now off to the photography section to pine for ‘home’ x
Hey Kim , well im more than certain you can get some ideas off here.For veggie food you cant beat the natural dishes from Lenclume , you can adapt and simplify quite easily with a wee bit of imagination.Unfortunately i dont really do a recipe section , i should give that some thought.
Tell you what….Hit them with the “Meat fruit” girl.
