Peter's ambition is to give the Lake Distinct the same profile as Padstow (Rick Stein). He gives his homely yet imaginative style of cooking an emphasis of lifestyle and the Lakes to produce six chapters of recipes that combine local produce with other influences: Out & About (includes Sweet garlic chutney and local Brie on foccacia bread, Japanese beef wrap and Espresso fruit bread); Family ( includes Pizza with the kids and Lemon syllabub), Boys' Weekend (includes Black bacon butties and Salmon by the lake), Cafe (includes Posh fish fingers and Blueberry and passion fruit cake), BBQ (includes Lakeland burger and Baked sweet potatoes with chilli and cumin butter), Something Special (includes Porcini and roast garlic soup, local venison with potato fondant and port and juniper sauce and White chocolate ice
cream with Grasmere gingerbread).
Peter is a keen fisherman and fell walker, who loves living in the Lake District and cooking for family and friends. He says of his Good Taste cafe in Keswick 'We go for simplicity, quality and freshness - and our customers pick up on our passion for good food. The same regulars drop in at the same time every day.'
