Q: Arran, why is Local Organic so important to you and your cooking?

A: The idea of organic is nothing new, before the age of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and GMO,  farmers were organic "Old McDonald was organic!" I feel farming organic is a cycle of giving back to the soil each year instead of depleting the soil and making up for it in chemicals. As far as taste, no comparison, organic just taste better-proof is trying organic Celery against conventional celery...

Cooking tip:
 This Wednesday we are having Roulade of Snapper. The 1st rule in cooking is that "When fish is hot it is still cooking" the objective in cooking fish is to keep it moist and not dry it out, so if we pull the fish a little early and let the residual heat"carry over cook" then flash the fish in the oven just before serving we get a correctly cooked, to proper temperature, moist piece of fish. The roulade concept gives me more mass to work with rather than a flat piece that over cooks in no time at all, plus looks great too.

Thanks for eating with us, Arran
