I am thus a happy cook! My inspiration comes from a combination of the Southwest of France, where I grew up and from the Mediterranean, which seduced me from a young age. But I also remain a curious cook. My roots carry me but do not hold me down. My arrival in Monaco was a magical and momentous moment in my life. It is on this rock, nestled between France and Italy that I encountered my Riviera. I know today that this land was my destiny. All my cooking is inspired from this area that sings sunlight. From it, I draw strength and truth. « Riviera »: the word alone echoes a certain invitation to dolce farniente. However, the Riviera is a land of farmers and breeders who, historically, have toiled to bring abundance from an arid land.

  • London Food Guide: 2
    A Short Guide To London Restaurants By Kit Hume, Rob Hume, and Judy Milhous 15th Edition Revised July 2009 What follows was originally written in 1984 after a year’s sabbatical in London. It has been revised every couple of years since then, reflecting our experience dining out several times a week during a sabbatical from August 1990 to August 1991, half a year in 1995, sabbaticals in 1997-98 and 2004-05, and numerous short visits in the intervening years. The basic organization of this guide is geographical. Some of the restaurants are new to this edition; others have been in since the original 1984 edition, and have been revisited with pleasure every year since then. We retain a few places we have not visited recently because friends have enjoyed them and The Good Food Guide continues to rate them highly. If you look for an old favorite from our previous guides and no longer find it listed, it has probably perished. Rodos closed in the spring of 2003: second generation owners failed to keep it viable. Poons is no more. We still sigh over both those extinctions. Note that Chez Nico and La Tante Claire passed into memory when their chefs retired. Prices are given in current British pounds, the £ being worth roughly $1.65 at the time of writing. London continues to be a fantastic place to eat out, but inflation and the mediocre exchange rate have made it less of a bargain. One of the best buys in London is still Indian food. If you are unfamiliar with this cuisine (and Indian menus can be dauntingly unhelpful), see the Appendix for some basic definitions and explanations.

Contents Introduction ROASTED MEATY CHEESY EARTHY MUSTARDY SULFUROUS MARINE BRINE & SALT GREEN & GRASSY SPICY WOODLAND FRESH FRUITY CREAMY FRUITY CITRUSY BERRY & BUSH FLORAL FRUITY Bibliography A Note on the Author Copyright Page “. lamb and apricots are one of those combinations which exist together in a relation that is not just complementary but that seems to partake of a higher order of inevitability—a taste which exists in the mind of God. These combinations have the quality of a logical discovery: bacon and eggs, rice and soy sauce, Sauternes and foie gras, white truffles and pasta, steak-frites, strawberries and cream, lamb and garlic, Armagnac and prunes, port and Stilton, fish soup and rouille, chicken and mushrooms; to the committed explorer of the senses, the first experience of any of them will have an impact comparable with an astronomer’s discovery of a new planet.” John Lanchester, The Debt to Pleasure Introduction I hadn’t realized the depth of my dependence on cookbooks until I noticed that my copy of Elizabeth David’s French Provincial Cooking had fingernail marks running below the recipes. Here was stark evidence of my timidity, an insistence on clinging to a set of instructions, like a handrail in the dark, when after twenty years of cooking I should surely have been well enough versed in the basics to let go and trust my instincts.

  • The Courtside Provenance
    THE COURTSIDE PROVENANCE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAIN LAMB – MID WALES Inspired by HRH The Prince of Wales, who is President of the Cambrian Mountains Initiative (CMI); The Cambrian Mountains comprise a distinctive upland, Welsh speaking area forming the heartland of Wales. It is an area of exceptional, unspoilt landscape that supports valued habitats, species and ways of farming that have roots stretching back to the Middle ages. The CMI premium quality Welsh lamb is born and reared in the Cambrian Mountains region of mid-Wales by a group of 21 producers who are part of the Cambrian Mountains group. The lamb producers who supply the Cambrian Mountains Lamb adhere to strict principles to ensure best practice land management, maintain valuable habitats and eco-systems and actively encourage vibrant rural communities. Native breeds in the Cambrian Mountains are from traditionally ‘hefted’ flocks on farm-assured farms that use the old ‘Hafod and Hendre’ system. After a winter in the valley, the lambs are shepherded up to the hills for the long summer grazing on natural pastureland rich in varied grasses and herbs. This results in a special, slightly lighter weight lamb (around 16–18kg) with great conformation for succulent, juicy meat with a delicate, sweet flavour. We work with the CMI to ensure that the lamb is ready for Wimbledon. It is a seasonal product and as such is available from late June so we have one farmer Rhys who brings his lambs earlier for slaughter to ensure we can have them in time for our Wimbledon menus. THE COURTSIDE Our menu descriptions do not include all ingredients.
