Does he still have a restaurant? “God no, not any more. I have a civilised life,” he says. These days he makes a living through his books, demonstrating and running a video production company which films food and drink content for internet TV. “I do several hundred cooking demos a
year all over the world. I’ve just got back from Australia. I’m getting involved in their food waste campaign as well.” Fox was a guest at the first Nottingham
Food and Drink Festival in 2009 talking about his passion for beer and food. He says: “I like Nottingham, it’s lovely place. “I’ve got good friends in Nottingham. My friend Jasmin at Homemade, she’s brilliant so I’m looking to hanging out there for lunch between cooking demonstrations.” He raves about another city eaterie but he
can’t remember the name. “There was a restaurant that we went to which was brilliant and I can’t remember
what it’s called now. Hang on a minute I know they’re following me on Twitter. I’m just at my computer now do you want me to have a look?”
He turns to his computer and goes looking for tweets. “My publishers made me,” he says, apologetically. I did actually resist. They made me start doing Facebook first of all. I put my recipes up there.” Trawling through his Twitter followers, he
says: “I’d like to give it a plug as it was great. It was upstairs, on the first floor.” Then he finds the reference. “It’s The Larder, that’s the one. Brilliant!”
When it comes to personal tastes, nothing beats a hearty slow-cooked dinner for Fox. “As I’ve got older, I like simplicity and I love long slow-cooked dishes, with cheaper cuts. If I could only eat one meat again it would be pork rather than beef or lamb... belly pork; I love pigs’ ears – it’s nose to tail eating – I love offal, chitterlings...” See Richard’s recipes at w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / r i ch a r d f o x c o o k s
