A whimsical breakfast

A little toad in the hole with challah bread and quail eggs, given the size of the eggs and bread the Edvard Munch’esque faces simply presented themselves and the rest is history. Also on the plate is some rosti hair and a bacon bow tie.


Toad in the Cornhole

More whimsy, polenta sheets with quail eggs, topped with pan fried cremini mushrooms, shallots, and cognac, dusted with Parmigiano-Reggiano and garnished with fresh chive from the garden.DSCN4683-29-JUN-2008

Jiggs Dinner 2008

One of my favourite times of year, which is the annual Jiggs Dinner, turkey, salt meat, boiled veg coming out the ears, simply great. Get to know someone from Newfoundland and finagle yourself an invite.DSCN4554-19-JAN-2008

Italian Lamb Shanks

For starters veal pinwheels in consommé. The main course is Italian Lamb Shanks in a tomato based braising liquid, along with brocolinni and potato pavé with cheese.
