Took lady Apone and firstborn to Hix at Brown's Hotel yesterday. I do love treating ourselves to a genuinely posh nosh up once in a while. Had Oysters followed by Deer Wellington (venison in black pudding and pastry) while the ladywife had beets and goats cheese and roast beef off the trolley. The level of service you get in places like that makes you not mind the eye-watering price for what was essentially a (fucking amazing) pub lunch.

Paul Smith was at the next table which was fun to spy on but him and his impeccably turned out family made me feel self consciously scruffy in my bobbling jumper and un-ironed shirt. Damn him.

am thinking of upping my bbq/smoker game by adding a pellet smoker ( @Pistanator would love one of them)

if i hit buy today, it could be here by the weekend. just need to find some people to feed

i really want to start doing pekin duck at home, but fuck it looks like a faff

separate the skin from the carcass using a bike pump, wash the duck in boiling water/vinegar/lemon juice/maltose and leave to dry for a few days whilst varnishing it with maltose/spice mix.

smoke with cherry wood and then cook it until the skin puffs up and goes crispy and the meat is almost slow steamed inside the skin.

Cheers for this. Worked a treat and very tasty indeed.

Good to hear! I am a sucker for things-in-tomato-sauce. Did pan-fried halibut steaks last night in a similar stylee.

@TW
fancy testing my HKK style pekin duck this weekend? smoker has been ordered and should arrive Thursday, duck will take 2 days to prep and aim to eat on Saturday

Peking Duck is one of those dishes that was made for eating out, fair play to you for giving it a go tho'...

Three days prep, gone in five minutes... 😬

Woke up early to bake some fresh madeleines.
Girlfriend was happy.

Happy international women's day

You may well be right

Been away all week eating all the tagines in Morocco. I'm in.

@Jung can help you with this.

Ate way too many Oysters in Oualidia in Morocco. They weren't actually that cheap but fuck they were good.

ah didn't generate much interest and now I can't do 17th or 18th.

Asakusa restaurant in NW1 1BA - PM meal - how about 7th or 8th April perhaps? - indicate preference
