Really pleased to announce my fifth cookbook – Rustica – Mediterranean village food is out now!
When writing Rustica I took inspiration from villages around the Med. It’s also a blueprint of how to eat and maintain a healthier style of eating; eating like a villager.
Today marks the launch of FiveDinners.com – a new weekly meal planning service created by Theo and his wife.
Each week Theo creates five easy family friendly recipes with one complete shopping list for families and couples to download.
In addition to the actual meal planner there is a host of other key features:

Theo appears on the Kenwood RealCooks website, and is now hosting a live cookalong with Kenwood Kids Club on their youtube channel here.
Theo started doing LIVE cookalongs at the very start of the UK lockdown to help give kids (and parents!) something to do during the Corona Virus isolation period.
View all previous and upcoming episodes here.
Theo says ‘it’s just me, my kids, in my kitchen making a mess, cooking easy simple dinners and trying to have an hour of normality during these, frankly surreal times. Hopefully the kids watching will have some fun, learn a thing or two and maybe, just maybe, the parents will get dinner at the end! This won’t be pretty…’
#KidsCookWithTheo is live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4pm (GMT) with the ingredients needed for each session announced the week before.
It is live streamed on Theo’s YouTube channel and his instagram
I’m so proud to announce that SHARE is now out and available!
Click here to order a signed copy!
The philosophy behind SHARE is all about creating an interactive and exciting dining experience to be ‘shared’ amongst friends and family. SHARE was inspired by the work I do at events where I’ve been creating sharing boards and grazing tables for 10 people to twenty foot long grazing tables for 300 guests.
SHARE is my fourth cookbook, it’s published by Ryland Peters & Small and the extremely talented Mowie Kay did the photography, and my good friend Jean-Cristophe Novelli kindly wrote my foreward.
SHARE is broken down into 10 chapters ranging from Meze, Feast, Ocean, BBQ, Vegan, Sweet and many more; there is literally something for everyone with over 80 recipes and detailed step-by-step guidelines on how to build your own grazing table.
Here’s a few sneaky peaks from the book..

I’ve been working with David Lloyd Clubs for a few years now (time flies!) and we’ve created dozens of brilliant recipes. Here’s a quick video showing some of the highlights.
This beautiful, simple recipe brings new life to the classic dish of chicken kiev, in this instance we’re using a gorgeous piece of cod loin, stuffed with garlic butter, rolled in breadcrumbs and then roasted in the oven.
The secret is to freeze the butter for an hour so it just melts enough to ooze out by the time the fish is cooked. Enjoy at your peril – this will become a favourite!
Full recipe on David Lloyd Blog.
OK, this was developed as a great way to use up all that festive food on Boxing day after gorging yourselves on Turkey over Christmas. However, this is a great quick meal at anytime of the year when you have some leftover chicken or turkey from a roast.. enjoy!

Everyone needs a good roast chicken recipe up their sleeve and this one is a real winner! The trick is to firstly cook the chicken covered in foil to help keep the flesh incredibly moist and succulent, before uncovering and blasting with heat for that irresistible colour and crispy skin.
