This is one of the simplest and nicest soups you will ever make I promise you. It’s called ‘Royal cheese and potato soup’. Taken from the @downtonabbey_official unofficial cook book, I made this for a dinner party last weekend. It went down a treat. All you need is two potatoes, two white onions, six cloves of garlic, six cups of chicken stock, I cup of full cream, a tea spoon of English mustard, one table spoon of butter and two cups of grated cheddar cheese. Melt the butter in the pan and add the peeled and chopped garlic and potatoes to the pan. Stir well and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat. Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for a further 10 minutes. Remove the potato and onion and blitz into a pulp. Heat the cream in a pan and add the mustard. Add that to the blitzed potatoes and season to taste. Add the grated cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Serve with crusty bread. Make a great starter or even a small lunch item. #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #foodinfluencer #foodwriterlife #foodtodiefor #unclepeteskitchen #foodiegram #bloggersofinstagram #soup #potatosoup #cheese #cheesesoup #downtonabbey #cookbook #edwardiancooking #edwardianrecipes #souprecipe #starter #lunch #foodcritic #foodphotography #bristolfoodie #bristolinfluencers #recipes #dinnerparty #dinnerpartyideas #edwardianhome (at Charfield, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/By-t-1YgSsK/?igshid=w74pz4qkqwob

Dinner tonight consisted of fresh salmon fillets marinaded in a combination of olive oil, honey, garlic, chilli flakes, soy sauce, parsley and fish sauce. Baked in the oven for 30 minutes they tasted beautiful. For the best effect I’d suggest leaving the fillets to marinade over night. If you have a vacuum packer put them into one of the bags with the sauce and seal them tightly. This will open the pores of the fish and allow all that flavour to penetrate the flesh deeper. #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #foodphotography #foodlover #unclepeteskitchen #foodcritic #restaurantcritic #salmon #salmonfillets #marinade #soysauce #fishdinner #fishsupper #salmondinner #foodinfluencer #dinner #dinnerideas #cook #homecook #homecooking #homemade #marinades #tasty #deliciousfood #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #healthyfood (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxvqyBg_Sv/?igshid=1uii7lk6c3ebn

Apart from proper Sunday roast potatoes I never peel my spuds. Why? Because there is a lot of goodness on potato skins, so it makes sense to leave them on. Cooked with fresh parsley, garlic and olive oil they make a lovely side dish to any meal. #unclepeteskitchen #potato #roastpotatoes #oliveoil #parsley #garlic #potatoskins #nutrition #healthy #fresh #tasty #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #recipekitchen #recipe #spuds #chef (at Yate) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJyFOnnOI4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15m5ep7w8022k

Another fabulous formal night last nigh, on board this magnificent ship @navigatoroftheseasofficial par of the @royalcaribbean fleet. I really love this dinner suit. I have gotten quite a few compliments about it so I know it’s gone down well. #unclepeteskitchen #foodinfluencer #vacation #holiday #royalcarribeancruise #navigatoroftheseas #foodwriter #dinner #dinnersuit #whitetie #whitetiedinner #restaurant #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelinfluencer #aristocracy #eccentric #englisharistocracy #gentry #landedgentry #aristocrat #yourangmlord #duke #dukedom (at A Coruña, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BowdL9AFXNs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g00wtge7q6mh

I think I missed it this year because I was away, but whenever it is on I love to visit the Gloucester food festival which is held at Gloucester quays. It’s a weekend filled with every foodies delight and I absolutely love it. Artisan breads, craft beers, exotic meats and desserts that will blow your mind. Every food you can think of from around the world is there to be sampled. Plus there is a whole host of celebrity chefs giving demonstrations on how to rustle up some of their signature dishes. #unclepeteskitchen #foodielife #foodwriterlife #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #chef #cook #celebritychef #tvchef #tvcook #homecook #gloucester #quays #foodfestival #gloucesterquays #eat #recipe #dishes #gastronomy (at Gloucester Quays) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_c8pCnAD4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oitm0jui2fpz

An espresso martini is the perfect way to round off any meal. In fact it makes a great substitute if you really can’t manage a dessert. #unclepeteskitchen #espresso #martini #espressomartini #afterdinner #afterdinnerdrinks #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodwriter #foodinfluencer #unclepeteskitchen #foodiegram #bloggersofinstagram #bristolfoodie #millerandcarter #steakhouse #influencerlife #influencer #blog #blogger #bloggerlife #coffee #coffeebeans #foodielife #dinner #dinnerdrinks #cocktail #cocktailrecipes (at Miller and Carter Bristol Cribbs Causeway) https://www.instagram.com/p/By6DJenAMVx/?igshid=vn4ufwh6lpe6

Who doesn’t love a bit of mussel action? Served with spaghetti and drenched in a tasty Thai green curry sauce these went down a treat. Only problem is I’m hungry again now. Mussels are a great starter, but not so great as a main course!! #unclepeteskitchen #food #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #foodporn #foodiegram #foodtodiefor #bristolfoodie #bristolinfluencers #foodinfluencer #foodwriter #foodcritic #shellfish #mussels #thaigreen #thaigreenmussels #tasty #fish #seafood #seafoodlover #healthyeating #spaghetti #seafoodspaghetti #dinner #dinnermenu #dinnerideas #musselsmonday #musselshells #bristolfoodbloggers (at Charfield, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/By04rtSgwOA/?igshid=17hatdq6uc5yf
