And fianlly, here is a greaat little comment that my Dad left on Facebook......

Yes we do have memorable experiences of Paul' cooking, in the main good memories. In the early days a little hit and miss but usually quite edible. Now, well his preparation, presentation and taste are second to none. He can readily compete with the chef's on Ready Steady Cook making a banquet out of scraps. We look forward to meals prepared by him. The down side is the washing up. Look out Master chef this guy is on the way. Un-biased Dad.
