Chris Neill's Dirty Kitchen

http://chrisneillsdirtykitchen.wordpress.com/

I'm a stand-up comedian and sometimes chaotic cook. You can hear me on BBC Radio programmes quite often on shows like Just A Minute, Broadcasting House and MacAulay & Co where I jabber sixteen to the dozen and often try to get the subject onto food. When I'm not working as a comic, I'm equally happy transforming a pig’s head into a giant wobbling brawn, gutting cuttlefish, or not being able watch my soufflés (sometimes) triumphantly rise as the bulb in the oven has gone.
In 2008 I combined my enthusiasms by presenting a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe called Chris Neill's Got A Bun In The Oven where I told jokes about food and cooking (with some knob gags on the side) all the while preparing a variety of venison offal dishes for the audience to chow down on.

All because the lady loves milk, sugar, cocoa mass and butter, vegetable fat and soya lecithin

Maybe it was because I had been so well-behaved for over twenty-four hours. Sunday afternoon I spent gardening, or rather deciphering what was actually dead by whether something had a bud on it or not.  By Monday I was on a roll with all this treati (read full article)

Desert Island Chicken Chow Mein

My aunt’s choice was something by Aretha Franklin, my cousin’s girlfriend opted for Saturday Night Fever, Mum rather touchingly couldn’t survive her desert island without a recording of Big Ben in full flow and I was torn (and remai (read full article)
