The Aussie Butcher in London…comes to PCH

*warning* pictures of meat – vegetarians be advised!

When my nephew Kane Webster decided to follow his heart and move to London to be with his true love, I felt some sadness. Sad that, he would be on the other side of the world. However, it was over-ridden by the sense of excitement for him and recognising how everyone must follow their heart and dreams. Not to mention, that as an avid traveller myself, I would always encourage others to follow their own adventure.

However, settling into a happy lifestyle is what you wish for those you love. London appears to be good for our Kane. He has landed a couple of jobs since arriving in London and he has gained the nickname of the “Aussie butcher in London”. When he advised us he was homeward bound for a short visit, I could not pass up the opportunity to have him deliver a class at Plough Creek Cooking School.

Kane has had an impressive career as a professional butcher, considering his young age. Working in numerous outlets and venues since completing his apprenticeship, he has worked in numerous establishments to enhance his butcher skills and his knowledge of excellent quality produce.

His enthusiastic personality and commitment to good primary product has meant that since arriving in London he has worked for various “top end” butcher outlets including some time managing one of  “The Ginger Pig” stores in London.

Most recently Kane has been working with HG Walter in London, purveyors of free range and organic meats, poultry and game, supplying some of the most renowned chefs, celebrity chefs and Michelin star restaurants across the United Kingdom.

I was a little surprised that no women took up the opportunity to do a Lamb Butcher class…it seemed to me that it would be a great thing to develop those skills, so I was the only woman among the guys!

Great class with some interesting techniques that I look forward to developing with practice AND some very tasty end results, were enjoyed across a Saturday afternoon.
