Easter has been and gone now and a great time we all had here! Chocolate is the abiding theme but real eggs were a bit scarce!! The hens failed to rise to the occasion laying some really paltry little eggs! they got a good talking to and today we had three large brown ones for breakfast.
The devils food cake might not have been entirely appropriate but tasted great and the recipe is in baking and cakes or just use the search window! The roast leg of fellbred lamb was superb , no secrets as to how to roast a leg of lamb but the provenance was good and the flavour and texture was spot on! get it from Booths for easy sourcing!
A really great St Emillion and a good Chardonnay to compliment the food and a few bottles of Peroni finished the job off nicely.
Hope your Easter was as good as mine!!
The Smoked salmon amuse was stuffed with shrimps and bound with a little rose mayonaisse a quenelle of soft cheese pistachio crust and chilli dust.
The salmon was well cured and quite waxy, the flavor was peaty and lightly smoked The shrimps were from Morecambe bay--The best!! The McGuigans was a superb compliment to both fishes!
