Thank you to the entire team at Chefi La Cutite for inviting me to Romania as a guest chef to share a pinch of Euphoria. Such an awesome crew and a truly wonderful and equally random experience! 📖 🥚 This dish is very special to me. My interpretation of Dr Seuss’s book ‘Green eggs & Ham’. This one takes me straight back to my childhood, when my dad used to read me this bedtime story. At its core, the story embodies the idea that persistence gets results…that with enough desire, one can manifest any goals and dreams, even if you have to be a tad delusional to get there. My take on ‘Green eggs and ham’ is this St louis cut pork rib, which has been slowcooked, pressed, caramelised and glazed with Quince. Compressed fennel lies underneath a buttery Kataifi nest. The eggs are cauliflower puree and a pea and runner bean ‘yolk’. Served with a smoked onion jus. Once the page of the story is lit up, it will unveil a different message within, all related to the importance of staying faithful to your inner child… Big thank you and appreciation to the extremely talented @naomitatemaghen who brought my vision for this book plates to life. ♥️✨ A special shout-out to my legendary friend @magiccox for hooking me up with the exquisite flash ‘pages’ 💙🪄 Big love to my bro @handsome.devil.studios @thunderjaco for the video edit!🙌📹 #chefilacuțite2024 #chefilacutite #guestchef #chefsaroundtheworld #cookingshow #romania #bucharest #greeneggsandham #drseuss #bedtimestory #cheflaranorman #euphoriabylaranorman

The bookkeeping, lack of rest, the sacrifices we make, mistakes we stumble upon, and the moments we undervalue ourselves.  It can all get a bit overwhelming, can't it? It’s easy to lose belief in the the ball of energy that got you started. Depressing thoughts that become the blockage to your light. You feel choked by the pressure, drowned by the admin, such little time left to dedicate to the actual craft that fuels your fire. And then, when you most need clarity, things can become even blurrier.  Feeling uninspired, distressed and alone… if only there was a helping hand… You see, being your worst critic, It’s easy to forget how far you’ve come and all the things that you’ve done.  The mentors and all the people that you’ve met along the way. The tribe that has your back, the creations that you’ve brought to light.  Here's the thing… amidst the chaos, the doubters, and the falls, there's something magical waiting to be discovered. It's called resilience. That fire burning inside you, refusing to be extinguished. Now, I want you to imagine something. Picture a world where the negativity of others doesn't define you. A world where you realise that you are your biggest cheerleader, not your harshest critic. Those haters, they’re just noise in the grand symphony of your journey. And hey! You might even be surprised, share your canvas with the world, there are two sides to every coin. It’s not the attention we seek, it’s the sensation of not feeling alone. YOU, my friend, are extraordinary, you possess a power inside you.  You are the author of your own story, and the pen is in your hand.  #FuckTheStigma

What a special week to be cooking with a fellow member of the tribe @gastronaikraphy Bursting with pride to see what Alex, his family and team have built for the last few years, I still remember the conversation about getting the keys…and seeing it all unfold has been a real privilege to witness. The passion, determination and grit is contagious. What a blast cooking together for our pop up and excited to plot the next one! More BTS to come… @thirteenrestaurant one of those places that truly stays with you. If you haven’t experienced it yet, make it a priority. #thepowerofcollaboration #thirteenrestaurant #euphoriabylaranorman #chefalexnaik #cheflaranorman

HRC highlights 🔥 What a week at @hotel_restaurant_catering . The buzz around Aussie red meat has been incredible. Chef HQ was a highlight, with @mikereidchef and @cheflaranorman serving up live demos. On stage, in a panel discussion, we tackled UK supply challenges, consistency and the role of Australian red meat, plus sustainability, provenance and animal welfare, showing how aligned the UK and Australia really are. A huge thank you to our producers and exporters on the ground, the people behind the product who connected directly with chefs, buyers and the wider industry, showcasing why Australia’s red meat is so outstanding. We also couldn’t do it without the support of @Austradeofficial , Myrelemon and the Victorian and Western Australian governments - their partnership makes this possible. This is why we show up… to bring the full story to life and be part of the conversation. Key takeaway? People aren’t just interested, they’re excited! * * * * * #AussieBeef #AussieLamb #HRC2026
