I’m Stu - chef, husband, dad, writer, and someone trying to work out how you actually change things when the rest of your life doesn’t conveniently stop while you do it.

What you will find here

A book, some writing, a lot of talking to cameras, and whatever else seems worth making along the way.

Videos
