Duck Tagine

View ArticleChicken with a spiced red wine jus, aubergine caviar.
If you read my article on Lameloise, I mentioned the delight of a Bresse Chicken. The only place I have found these in Britain is Harrods. They are about £20 each, but are fantastic. A different treat...
View ArticlePineapple Ravioli
This is quite a simple dessert that will have your guests amazed. It is a slight cheat on a ravioli, pineapple slices are softened in an acidic sweet syrup. You then lay one as the base and stuff...

View ArticleCauliflower and homemade raisins
I do like to understate things rather than over egging them. I’d much rather have a surprise than a disappointment any day. If this dish read as it does on the menu, there wouldn’t be much to write...
