The Year Chefs Cooked At Home
It’s amazing how, when we’re forced to stay apart, we find ways of coming together. Lockdown brought us closer in unexpected ways. We finally had the time to engage with our neighbour for a socially distanced chat or see the faces of family members across the globe thanks to the wonders of technology. We were also invited to see the inside of chefs’ homes to see what they really cook when they’re not working.
