Poached & Seared Duck breast
Slow poached in stock and pan finished, served with a Garnaxa reduction

Rustic Lamb with garlic & rosemary
I've slowed down the cooking time and lowered the temperarure, to produce an incredibly succulent lamb dish - or as a guest said recently: "the best lamb I've eaten"!

Chicken de Pages
Chicken baked & finished with a fruity sauce of Apricot, Prunes and Pinenuts, this farmhouse chicken dish is based on a meal enjoyed in a village restaurant in Orfes - Girona.

Papilotte de Lluç
A parcel of Hake cooked with ribbons of courgette and saffron.

Galtes de Vedella
This cheeky beef is Cooked in cider slowly, it is a very different beef dish, tender and tasty.

Mar i Muntanya
Classic Catalan synthesis of chicken and prawns cooked together.

Salads
Ever popular are the Goat cheese salads - perfect for summer, or the new 'warm' mushroom and asparagus salad. Avocado too is a justifiably popular salad choice.

Deserts
I've recently started working with Puig Pastiseria in Castello who provide delightful chocolate cakes and the layered icecream & sponge cake Saint Jordi. Popular as ever is my Pears in red wine - which has a finely finished syrupy wine sauce.

BUFFET

Having a party or want something a bit different:

We can provide a Tapas buffet with a wideselection of carefully crafted plates.

 

Please pay a £150 deposit to secure my services.

Payment taken via 7daywonder. See our holidays: 7DW
 

The foods above are not definitive. Talk to me if you have a special request. I believe in real cooking with the best ingredients, our suppers are freshly cooked for you and can be adapted to suit your tastes and needs.

The main courses are served with vegetables and potatoes or rice; for example Braised Fennel & Dauphinoise potatoes.

Good Local red/white wines are supplied and included in the price. Reserves, Gran Reserves and Cavas are available on request.

Please note, you do not have choice on the night. If you have any specialist dietary requirements please notify me before the arrangement. It's easier & more cost effective for everyone to have the same menu selections. All the menus are subject to seasonal change and availability - ie I buy from the local market.

Final prices will be agreed depending on choices, numbers, special arrangements and location; a minimum charge applies for smaller groups. Average prices per head are from 30 - 60 euros, depending on group size.

If you require a simpler service such as 'cook and drop' meals etc I am happy to provide this. Please email me.
