I love cookery programmes of every shape and size. I am always interested when a particular format takes off in such a way that you wonder what the next one will be. The current trend is the type of contest where there is the cut and thrust of an elimination battle, with ever more intricate recipes and presentations. Take those thoughts as the background and then this tweet exchange with @PumpStBakery as the catalyst….
Mix in a dollop of reading A day at El Bulli, a book about insects, blogs about botflies and the result is the short story ‘Take Three; Chefs’ published on ether books.
When you finish the story let me know if you have worked out who the winner of the cookery competition is. The answer is there, but just a bit cryptic. I must go back sometime and write the story of why Sinita changed her name to Cynthia.
Ether books can be downloaded to iPhones and iPads (other formats will follow) via an app which you can get HERE.
Within the app you can look for my name Vivia Bamford in the author’s section to find all my stories.
