Today’s Dish is a fillet of roasted sea bass served with salt and pepper squid rings!
Seabass is a local specialty where I’m from, and is brought in from the waters almost daily by the local fishermen, which are based just 50 meters from the restaurant where i work at, meaning we are getting fresh fish brought in from the local fisherman, almost daily, which certainly keeps us on our toes when it comes to specials

Sauce chasseur, sometimes called “hunter’s sauce”, is a simple or compound brown sauce used in French cuisine. It is typically made using demi-glace or an espagnole sauce as a base, and often includes mushrooms and shallots. It may also include tomatoes and a finishing of fines herbes. The name is derived from the French word for “hunter”, alluding to the traditional pairings with venison, rabbit, wild fowl, and other game meats. Traditionally, while returning from the hunt, the hunters would allegedly pick the mushrooms that they would subsequently use for their preparation.

So today we have a triple layered cheesecake, which uses milk, white and dark chocolate! It’s set in different layers, which are set at different times, sure it will take a bit of time, and will make a hell of a lot of washing up, but the end result is defiantly worth it!

Today’s recipe is for a white chocolate blondie, It’s pretty much just a white chocolate version of a brownie, which lets be honest can only be a good thing! The dish pictured here is served with a white chocolate glaze and a homemade raspberry sorbet. The blondie is full of white chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, so it really is a super tasty dessert!

So summer time is over, which means i can get back to blogging! It’s been a hard real push over the summer, but i made it through to the other side, and a better chef to boot, to get an idea think long hard hours, a never ending prep list, constant checks coming through during service hours, and your half way there!

Pork belly is one the most delicious cuts from a pig that you can buy, in my opinion, and it is often underused within the world of catering. However its had a recent surge in popularity, whether that’s due to chef’s looking to experiment, or it’s to do with the current trends, i’m not sure, but it has found itself back on the British menu, which is only a good thing, as it tastes so good and readily available!

Today’s dish is Cajun spiced swordfish!
On my day off today, I wanted to cook something a little different, and came up with the idea of Cajun spiced swordfish steaks, with a sun-dried tomato rice and a fresh salad and the end result was delicious!
