Congratulations to Aidan Brooks, the twenty year-old chef from Hackney whose eponymous blog has justed celebrated its second birthday.
Aidan's first blog, back in August 2006, described a dinner of sardine salad and fruit salad he had just cooked for his brother and his brother's girlfriend. The meal was eaten "with a selection of wines to commiserate Phillips Idowu's failure to win a medal at the triple-jump earlier in the day. Still - there's always another day." Indeed there is: two years on, Phillips has just qualified for the Olympic triple jump final.
I like Aidan's blog because it provides a window on his life. Over the last two years we've seen him prpgress from being a trainee chef in London, to working full time at Barcelona's Commerc24.
Which Hospitality blogs do you go back to time after time? Let us know.

Can I just assure readers that this is a genuine mutual appreciation society and not some sort of reciprocal deal. I just finished posting a review of Cinc Sentits on my blog in which I drew heavily on a CatererSearch interview with Jordi Artal. Only after publishing did I discover this kind piece on the CatererSearch blog. Thanks guys. It must just be telepathy.

Thanks for getting in touch, Aidan. I'm glad you find the site useful. I'm coming to El Raco de Can Fabes in October as part of the Roux Scholarship trip's entourage. Is that near to where you are?
