I have been really busy at the weekends on the run up to Christmas this year so it was great to be asked to do a Private Dinner Party mid-week, cooking for a lovely bunch of friends and family near Fareham.
I had a great time putting the final menu together as John had emailed me a few of his favourite dishes from each course and then asked me to narrow them down, creating a surprise for the actual evening. It was a really rewarding day, meeting a benevolent group of people and receiving fantastic feed back from everyone after each plate of food. It was a complete pleasure and as always, I elicited great pride from a brilliant night's cooking.
