A great Jamón Ibérico dinner party where we were bound together by good food and wine. If food is the language of love and care, then wine is bottled poetry.
A simple weekend dinner but the quality of the ingredients is key as it helps to bring out the best of the dish.
Miso black cod, sweet potato puree, asparagus.
Wagyu petite Tender, Gratin Dauphinois, burnt broccolini, roasted garlic paste, Demi-Glace.
I took note of the dishes and ingredients that brought sparkles to her eyes during our recent restaurant visits and curated this 3-course menu for Mrs C&S's birthday dinner last evening.
I always enjoy long dinners with sharing platters all on the dining table at one go so that everyone can try anything and everything with the wine free flowing.
Slowed cooked oxtails in veal stock with garlic, cinnamon and some root vegetables for about 7 hours and served on bed of potato puree with glazed carrots, garlic butter mushroom, burnt broccolini and vine tomato for our dinner last evening.
Created this version of "Bak Zhang" using short-grain rice flavoured with sushi vinegar, sole fish powder and five spice powder.
Breakfast by @ashinthekitch - Sourdough crepes, chantilly cream, berries.
My eldest @ashinthekitch made dinner - Lemon butter Pappardelle with prawns.
