Apricot Soufflé Omelette

Sea Bass with Aubergine Caponata


Complex dish, but worth the effort. Even filleted the fish myself for this one. Aubergine, peppers, celery, nage, paprika, mini capers, golden raisins and toasted pine kernels.

Some basics


Home made tagliatelli with tomato and basil sauce. I have adopted a new recipe for my home made pasta and what a difference. 480g '00' flour, 2tbsp olive oil, 120ml cold saffron water, 4 egg yokes, 1 egg and pinch of salt. The secret is to add the water and oil very slowly and the essential ingredient to a good tomato based sauce is add some gastric (equal weight of white wine vinegar and sugar) to give it that sweet and sour experience.

North Indian chicken curry.

Chicken, chirozo, puy lentils and sweetcorn
