About me
My name is John, I am 60 years old and have been married to Maureen for 40 years now; we have lived together, worked together for most of those 40 years. For over 10 years we worked for Lord and Lady Hanson here in the UK at their London town-house and at the country house in Berkshire. We also looked after them at their house in Palm Springs, California spending the winter months in California and Summer in the UK. I was the Chef and Butler Maureen was senior housekeeper. In 1978 I was elected to the Institute of Master-chefs so I suppose you could say I can cook a little and know a little something about wines and etiquette. What we want to do on MyDish is to include all our favourite dishes and the recipes we both learnt from childhood, I also want to include recipes for those dishes we used to serve to the good and the great and in most cases tell the story of Who, What, Where and When. There is quite a lot to include a little bit of "What the Butler Saw" I think. We would love to hear from anyone who has any questions, and do our very best to answer them. Bon Appetite Astrochef
