yesterday i learned to watergild...putting gold leaf or silver leaf on objects using water and gelatin...amazing...i'm hooked. pictures soon.
but for right now i'm still blogging in last week...
this was the last dinner with Pippa Dickson and her boyfriend Mark. He was a chef for many years. french training....so it was a special night since he agreed to give us a lesson.
the menu besides the chateau CONDOM:
potato-leek soup
roasted leg of lamb, roasted with rosemary a bit of garlic and salt and pepper.
the juices were then mixed with a stock made from trimmings and drippings and cooked down with red wine. butter, more fresh rosmary...incredible.
frenchie style potatoes peeled and one side cut off. face down in a deep pan with broth and butter....ahhhhh.
ta daa......
i think this picture best indicates the levels of satisfaction and this was only barelyinto the massive amount of wine consumed that night!
and finally dessert! of course...rhubarb creme brulee no less!
