My apologies. I’ll edit the post immediately. I’ve also joined up. I’m rather hoping there’s a hat or cloak involved.

Of course you’re a fan. Been watching for a few months and it’s brilliant stuff, esp the evocation of a landscape less examined. And oh the food. It’s Keith F before the bottle took hold. Also intrigued by just how few foot prints he’s left in the digital snow. There’s something of the le carre character about him, in a very good way.

It's fascinating. He's followed by lots of chefs, but, as you say, little trail. I'm secretly hoping he's AA Gill's brother.

A particular favourite video is where he cooks a rabbit two ways. One a french fricasee and the other a Spanish style rabbit dish thickened with a Picada of the liver. The same ingredient treated very differently. Shows off the two cuisines and their differing approaches brilliantly!

Well, I'm not getting any work done today now.

Apologies. But at least by tea time you'll be relaxed, happy and hungry.

If he tried to do this in England, he'd have someone with a lanyard and hi-viz vest asking if he had permission to film. And that portable wood burning stove!

Well I know what I’m going to be doing in the rain this week!

Bugger! I’ve already got too many cookbooks and now I’m on Abe Books tracking down the ones I don’t have. Thanks. Great recommendations.

He’s wonderful. Makes you want head to Menorca, but some clay pots and head up a hillside with some local grog and some garlic.
