How we approach certain vegetables, suppliers or challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>BACK TO BASICS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gavin suggests small, clever swaps that make a big difference. One of his favourites is spent milk ricotta &#8211; a straightforward way to use the leftover milk. Instead of pouring it away, he stores the milk for up to two days, then heats it to 93 degrees with a squeeze of lemon. After 15\u201320 minutes, the curds separate, ready to be lifted into muslin. The result is a soft, delicate ricotta that\u2019s perfect with roasted butternut squash or folded into a warm salad.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ricotta being made out of leftover milk\" width=\"2245\" height=\"1587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1.jpg 2245w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-2048x1448.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-1280x905.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-1600x1131.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-1-1920x1357.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2245px) 100vw, 2245px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gavin ferments potatoes to create crisp, salty and vinegary chips that are super addictive!

Spring crops aren\u2019t ready, and winter stores are running low. His solution is rooted in tradition: preserve autumn and winter vegetables so they can carry you through the gap. Ferments, pickles, cures and preserves become a bridge between seasons, ensuring nothing is wasted and flavour is always available.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18533\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>RETHINKING KITCHEN HABITS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not all waste is edible.
