This led to some surprisingly varied\njobs. A lot of it was teaching but I was also hired to cook for a reality TV programme called Regency House Party – a\nsort of Big Brother in corsets. More TV work followed including a request for 780kg of an iron ration called pemmican\nfor a polar expedition. \nI have done demonstrations at food festivals\, taken part in The Kitchen Cabinet with Jay Rayner for Radio 4\, created\nfood for magazine photography and given a talk on taste for the testing panel of a major food company.
