I'd rather eat: Ethically sourced food

Bio

I am a private chef, writer, cookery teacher and presenter living in Devon. I’ve been into food from an early age, spending much of my childhood on the family farm in Wiltshire, gleaning a close understanding of farming and fostering a love of the great British countryside, wild food and quality produce which forms the cornerstone of how I think about food today. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege to work with such culinary luminaries as Fergus Henderson, Alistair Little, Marco Pierre White and Mark Hix, as well as a stint managing VIP catering for the Ferrari F1 team in Europe. A return to my roots saw me lead the team at River Cottage Axminster, where I regularly appeared alongside Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on both the River Cottage series on Channel 4 and the Fish Fight campaign. I continue to indulge my interest in broadcasting with occasional appearances on various foodie shows, such as Channel 4's Sunday Brunch and BBC Food and Drink.

The Chef shed grand tour comes to WeFiFo

This is how food should be enjoyed! Fabulous ingredients, cooked with imagination and great skill, by a charming chef who represents the antithesis of pretension, shared with a group of people who are there to enjoy, appreciate, and engage with the food, in an environment that is warm and congenial. The whole evening was professionally presented—yet as informal as eating at a friend's house: a friend who cooks as well as any lauded celebrity chef. Thank you to Tim the chef, and to Jon and Seni from WeFiFo who co-hosted the event at their farm.

The Chef shed grand tour comes to WeFiFo

We have come to expect exceptional food from Tim and last night no exception I shall request the crab soup as my favourite ever. However the joy of Wififo is the experience of eating in someone’s home and meeting new people

Superb cooking, delivered with charm and very unobtrusively! Tim is a great chef and made himself totally at home with the bread oven. He entertained us with stories about the food and his cooking. He even did the washing up as he went along! Will definitely be doing this again.

Another wonderful night, in a slightly more formal style than other events. Very ebullient hosting from the chef which added to the fun of the evening. A lovely menu, with so many delicious flavours. Great to meet some new people who share a love of food. All in all, a great evening.

Tim cooked a truly tremendous meal. As ever there was not a morsel wasted or a flavour out of place - delicious , subtle, satisfying.

Harvest Supper

Tim Maddam's cooking is superb and his explanation of the ingredients and methods he uses both entertaining and informative. The venue and atmosphere were magical. So lovely to enjoy such great food with new foodie friends.

Chef shed seasonal dining

Tim was chatty and a great host, knowing when to leave his guests and knowing when to engage. The food was inventive and tasty, we loved the nibbles served on platters while we enjoyed the sun and champagne! We would recommend this evening, but beware if you visit this venue in the colder months, it is very open and you will need plenty of blankets!

Tim Maddams was of course a brilliant chef, but also charming and funny. The food was superb, the company fantastic - met lots of great new people - and the surroundings absolutely magical. Special shout-out to Mixology for the stunning cocktails, too!

It might have been a damp (ok very wet) evening, but Tim Maddams Game Supper was an absolute triumph. The evening started with imaginative and delicious cocktails. A good start! So, the food... Pigeon with chargrilled asparagus, wild rabbit with gnocchi, Roe deer fillet - and to finish a superb meal a devine pudding of rhubarb, gin jelly and geranium ice-cream. Tim as well as being a fine chef, was very much part of evening as he entertained and informed us between each course. A bonus to all the lovely food was the great setting for the event, and also all the other delightful food lovers who attended the evening.
