A track you love to hear on a sunny morning…

MW: Debussy ‘Clare Da Lune’ so beautiful, always brings a smile to my face, a beautiful way to start the day.

DD: D Train ‘You’re the One For Me’ nice bit of funk to awaken the senses…

Your perfect breakfast would be…

MW: Not the most health conscious brekkie but a fabulous fry up scrambled or poached eggs, sausages, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and chips, but all organic and from locally sourced outlets. Not every day, this is a treat my normal breakfast is far more sedate and of course healthier.

DD: Steak and eggs.

The most unusual thing I have ever eaten…

MW: Sun dried spider, actually ‘Cheg’ (not is official name) is a Cambodian speciality which is a boiled egg, half chicken and half egg (embryo) – think it is called Balut.

DD: A slug and it wasn’t for a bet.

The dish that reminds me of my childhood

MW: Baked beans on toast, proper simple British fare from when I was a child.

DD: Jerk chicken.

Who taught you to cook?

MW: Both my mum and dad started me off on this journey, they made sure all us kids had those basic skills.

DD: I just picked it up along the way.

A DJ or musician that has surprised you with their cooking skills at home/their home…what did they cook

MW: Paul Reynolds of Melon Bomb fame, that guy can cook, his cooking is next level, he could actually be a big time chef if he wasn’t a DJ, I would say without a doubt he is probably the best DJ Chef in the world!!!

DD: Daddy J and he cooked.

Your guilty pleasure food. You know you shouldn’t but you always do…

MW: Ice cream, is it really a food???

DD: Haribos and Malibu erh not quite food again.

What is your signature dish?

MW: A good old roast, any style, making the perfect roast potatoes and all the trimmings. I do like to experiment and dive in with other dishes though.

DD: Thai green curry and omelettes smash these out like no one’s business.

If you could have a master-class with a celebrity chef, who’d you pick and why?

MW: Well after hearing about her stepping out on the dancefloor here in Ibiza I think it would have to be Mary Berry, after a great day of cooking we could hit the dancefloor and cut some shapes.

DD: Toby Gritten he’s a good friend, and he got honour by the queen for his food  But mainly because he’s a good laugh and loves to party when he’s cooking, kitchen rave special.

Dead or alive – 3 famous people you would invite around for dinner…

MW: Einstein, Prince, Nina Simone.

DD: Homer Simpson, Alexander O’Neil, Stephen Goldman.

A dish you have yet to master…

MW: I do a lot of touring around China and Asia and Chinese/Asian food is something I love, I can rustle up something that’s OK but I never quite get the authenticity of the dishes as to when I visit these countries, but my Thai curries are coming along very nicely.

DD: Fish Stew.

Your favourite pizza topping

MW: Super spicy pepperoni meat feast with Italian sausage.

DD: Ham and pineapple, a nice tropical flavour.

Your biggest ever food mistake

MW: Bread and butter pudding, not difficult to master but for some reason (at the time) I made it with just bread and milk in the oven, wasn’t my greatest moment, know how to cook it now though.

DD: Eating bad chicken from Ibiza town summer 2017. I was sick for three days!

A dish you just cannot eat

MW: Sea Urchin, just too gooey, way too gooey.

DD: Tongue or pigs cheeks! Yikes

You get in from the club pissed, dive in the fridge and usually come out with…?

MW: Nothing that doesn’t happen to me anymore, but when I was younger wouldn’t be the fridge it would be hitting the Kebab shop after the night out.

DD: Malibu and ice cream.

The most expensive meal you have ever had?

MW: Somewhere is LA can’t remember the restaurant but there was a lot of expensive wines drunk on top of the food, the bill was obscene, or somewhere in China were we literally had one of everything on the menu

DD: Las Dos Lunas in Ibiza, beautiful food.

The perfect 24 hours in Ibiza would be…

DD: Keeping it on the dancefloor, Monday afternoon Circo Loco then on to Amnesia…
