Restaurant food at home
This dish is a quintessential British summer on a plate, not that it has arrived yet! It’s actually two desserts in one so feel free to steal whichever one appeals to you more. The treacle tart is something I’ve been meaning to make for years. While making it I was […]
I’ve seen a few versions of encased pastry dishes made with brioche rather than puff pastry. I’ve made a brioche before and hence when I was looking for a Salmon Coulibiac dish the two blended together and ended up with this. For once though, I have step by step photographs […]
