Mike and Josie Kirkham's - Friday 16th May 2008
Well, what an evening!
From the Champagne and canapés to the 'Un Petit Assiette Gourmand' we traveled through a food expedition of the highest quality.
Mike & Josie exceeded last years 'BIG K' evening with the following menu:
Smoked
haddock and asparagus open ravioli with asparagus veloute |
Mille Feuille de Confit de Canard |
Slow Roasted Boned Leg of Organic Norfolk Lamb |
Smoked Haddock and English Asparagus open Ravioli from "Gordon Ramsey - Secrets"
Mille Feuille de Confit de Canard from " Raymond Blanc - Cooking for Friends"
Butternut Squash and Parmesan Soup from " Galton Blackiston - Cooking at Morston Hall"
Pan Fried Black Sea Bream with Endive Salad and Tomato Salsa - "James Chant"
Slow Roasted Boned Leg of Organic Norfolk Lamb with Roasted Lemon and Garlic Vegetable and Dauphinoise Potatoes from "Jamie Olive - Article"
Selection of Cheeses
Un Petit Assiette Gourmand - "Josie"
Mmm
- red, white...water!!! |
So
much wine, so little time! |
Nick
Mills swots up on his wine knowledge! |
We enjoyed 6 wines to compliment the above dishes (plus a dessert wine if you could stomach it!)
4 French and 2 Spanish - please don't ask me what they were as by 12am I was a little 'squiffy' and just about managed to get into the taxi!
(Mike, if you've just about finished clearing/washing up, perhaps you could confirm the wines we quaffed - thanks!)
If you were unable to come this time don't miss next years - EH, MIKE & JOSIE!!!
