Restaurant food at home
Some may think this dish sounds an odd mixture of flavours. Cheese, fish and Japanese all in one. Firstly the cauliflower cheese is a delightful clam veloute thickened with cauliflower and cheese. This mellow fishy but distinctive flavour marries beautifully with the Brown Trout. The Brown Trout, along with […]
I wouldn’t rate this cod and lentils dish as the most attractive dish in the world. Where it lacks in presentation it certainly makes up for in taste and smell sensations. I’m sure most foodies have tried and enjoyed the world of truffles, I have a few pointers on this, […]

This is a step into the unknown for me, my wine knowledge is nothing like my food knowledge. If you are planning a nice treat for someone on Valentines Day maybe this is something new to try. Together with some recommended recipes below which aren’t too difficult, but offer maximum […]
