So we had a fantastic weekend away, and the restaurant had a Michelin Star chef, so food was ace. I had:-

• cabbage butter and whipped butter with a poppy seed bread roll and a squid ink and parmesan roll
• wild mushroom and tarragon ravioli
• parmesan custard and pea taster, with something that sounded like "neegas" but don't know what it was - looked like parmesan shavings or thin croutons
  
• a beautiful rump steak with triple cooked chips
• passionfruit jelly, yoghurt and ginger
• warm pear tart with cardamom ice cream
• and our wine was an Alsace white

Don't eat like that often, but sooooo good!

With an allergy, you are smart to avoid such food, although steak and oysters are really quite delicious, when it is cooked just right.

It is not usual for people not to like shellfish, even though they have no allergy. Some change their minds, once they have tried a fresh dish of oysters, others prefer to leave well alone.

With the weather giving us blue skies and sunshine and 23c heat this last few weeks, we have been barbequing a lot. Pork chops is one of my favourite on the BBQ with barbequed new potatoes and a green side salad. We have recently enjoyed the introduction of s'mores on the bbq and those of you within the Americas will know what they are.

I have been tempted to do a lot of posts in this section as not only am I a cookery teacher but also I entertain a lot and do a home made meal for my family every night. A three course meal for 20 every couple of weeks is great fun if not exhausting and highly satisfying!
