HUNGRY. Paul Ainsworth: Building a Restaurant Empire, Winning a Michelin Star and Becoming "Next Level Chef" Mentor with Gordon Ramsay
I was lost and confused and ain’t-gettin’-no-satisfaction
My noggin’ a pavlova of palaver
Soul craved a big pudding of deep-melting green and bright-bouncing yellow countryside
Voluptuous blue skies, stress-incinerating views and salty kisses of
sea air
And, of course, mighty Avalanches of Food-Glorious-Food
Padstow, Cornwall 2022.
At Paul Ainsworth at Number 6 - I devoured a wondrous experience.
