Trout Fillet served on Risotto and Almond Sauce

This weekend I’ve payed a visit to my local butcher , where I always find some lovely cut of meat. Since my last visit the shop has been extended, and now they have a fish counter as well. That’s where I’ve found a nicely cut trout fillet from the local Test Valley. I just couldn’t leave it there.

Pear and Amaretto Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate

I finally got around to make this cake again for my friend’s request. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe, which is by Gordon Ramsay. It has few stages to follow until completion, but nothing difficult or extravagant. Forget baking! This cake only needs a fridge and a 23-26cm springform cake tin. The flavour of the filling with the dark chocolate base is divine.

Sables Biscuits

This simple French biscuit has it all; Taste, texture. Topped with some homemade jam or lemon curd and it can be a great company for the afternoon tea.
