Kitchen Rat

I bumped into the very knowledgeable and well known chef Shaun Hill at the launch of a new magazine for chefs called Yes Chef! yesterday evening. Interestingly Shaun Hill, formerly of the Merchant House and now the owner of the Glasshouse Brasserie and Bar in Sidbury, Worcester, was less than complimentary about the new publication, even though he is included on the magazine's inside cover as one of its "specialists", although he wasn't entirely sure he'd agreed to be one. Hill is doing the magazine's book reviews, but I doubt he'll be giving up his day job. "Vanity publishing" was what one of the chefs at the launch called it and Hill joked it would only last "three issues".
