Thierry Laborde & Natalie Richmond
I’m thrilled that my blog was featured in Hammersmith & Fulham News the other day – did you see is? (page 7)
This week I thought you might like to try my Creme Vichyssoise, a popular soup, this must be served very cold. If you have no chicken stock in the fridge, you can make the Vichyssoise entirely [...]
The essence of Gazpacho soup is that it’s fresh – therefore it’s imperative that all the ingredients you use are extremely fresh. You’ll find that there are a number of variations to this famous Spanish dish, but my recipe below is a classic version.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1.5kg ripe tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, peeled
Breadcrumbs (4 slices of day old [...]
We’ve just had a great session making chocolate truffles & mince pies. Here are the recipes for those who came (we’d love to hear what you thought about the session so please leave us your feedback below!) and who those who didn’t make it here this morning, why not have a go:
Chocolate Truffles
Ganache

Good friends of The Kitchen, Streaming Well recently approached Thierry to get involved with a pilot for some diabetic recipe videos.
Type II or adult onset diabetes is a serious and a growing problem in Britain affecting more than two million people. They are a fantastic company building awareness in the UK about Diabetes through wellness & healthy [...]
In celebration of November, Halloween and all that excess pumpkin flesh from your lanterns I have been making pumpkin soup in the cafe and it’s proved to be a best seller! So if you can’t make it down, here’s how to do it:
To make enough for 10 portions:
½ pumpkin, seeded, skinned and sliced into pieces
1 litres milk
2 sliced [...]
It has been no real surprise to us to read and hear all the press surrounding the release of the BBC article stating that there are no real health benefits of eating organic food.
Here at The Kitchen we have always been quite vocal in the fact that we do not solely buy organic food, [...]
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been working hard over the past few months to help support Macmillan Cancer Support around their Worlds Biggest Coffee morning, which takes part on 25th September.
As part of campaign Thierry’s created an amazing recipe for double chocolate chip cookies, which can be downloaded off their website.
And we’ve invited Lynda [...]
We read with interest the recent UKTV Food Channel report that the average Briton can make 10 dishes without a recipe.
We were actually pleasantly surprised by the number. I think the media would generally have us believe that no-one can cook and that we’ve lost the art to create great meals without a book or [...]
It’s been, busy, busy busy, with us launching new recipes, changing the website, creating new Masterclasses, new Session times, loyalty cards, promotions, and holding lots of one off parties. Basically run off our feet.
We’ve also just had a fantastic meeting with Cygnet Sports who run this amazing After School club in Parsons Green. Well worth [...]
Read with interest today in the FT about Starbucks Howard Schultz, Starbucks’ founder, saying the UK economy was “in a spiral”.
Lord Mandelson response was interesting that he felt Starbucks were attributing its own woes to the entire economy. He followed this up apparently a bit later with “Why should I have this guy running down [...]
We’ve been gearing up for Valentines with our new sessions for men only (12 and 13th February). It’s caused quite a lot of amusement, and intrigue. We’ve had women phoning booking in men, and we’ve had men wondering whether they could book in and have Thierry create it, whilst they nip round the corner to [...]
I’ve been meaning to write this for a week, but just not got round to it.
When the announcement is made about Michelin Stars the media naturally have a field day, who’s lost, who’s gained, etc etc. I’d be a liar to say I don’t look on with interest, or that it didn’t help drive me [...]
