It's an unusual book this week, one which I don’t believe you can buy. It has me in it, and was a book produced when working on board The Royal Scotsman train. Consumables was put together in the 1990’s as so many guests who stayed with us on the train would ask for recipes of dishes, so we decided to put this little book together for them to take home with them. The images are funny to look back on now, but yet again, it feels like yesterday. I look so young, and the food looks fresh and as great as I remember. We cooked some great food on the train. Remember we were moving about 70 miles an hour during the day, serving breakfasts and lunches but always stabled in the evening and overnight. It was a magical way of seeing the whole of not just Scotland, but the UK too as we ran tours in the West Country and Wales and into London. Guests stayed at the Goring hotel the night before and were piped on board at Paddington station and the adventure began. It was 3 of the most enjoyable years cooking and where I met a certain Mrs Chef. If you for some reason have a copy of this book, it will be worth a fortune….or possibly not.
