Restaurant food at home
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 home about. Once I tell you that this dish is made up […]
The old adage of not playing with quality ingredients holds strong in this dish of chicken and morels. Morel mushrooms are actually harder to find than truffles, fresh ones especially. I’ve found them online at Fine Food Specialists in Covent garden, but they are roughly £100/kilo. Ouch. Amazingly though, I […]
