Did a really great soup of the day last night and here is the recipe for you all.

Mushroom, Lemon and Garlic soup!!

500 grams mushrooms (roughly chopped)
2 Lemons (Roughly chopped)
1 Leek (Roughly chopped)

Salt and Cracked Black pepper
250mls Double Cream
20mls Vegetable oil
20grams butter

Heat the oil and the butter in a pan and then add the vegetables and garlic. Cook over a low heat for ten minutes until the leek onion have softened and then add the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and the simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes. Whisk in the flour and boil for two minutes and then add the cream and bring back to the boil. Pout the soup into a liquidiser/ food processor and blend until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper and serve with some good quality crusty bread.

Bon apptite!

 As a fish special we had; Poached Salmon, Carrot and Passion fruit sauce, Spinach Emulsion and Char grilled Leeks. The dish was very popular with the guests and was a total sell out.

Tonight, as the fish special, I'm doing Sea bass, Red Cabbage, Spinach powder.

The red cabbage is being served in three different ways.

1) Pickled in a honey and balsamic emulsion

2) Braised with red wine, molasses and chili flakes.

3) Red cabbage juice at the base of butter sauce with garlic an spring onions
