-
Rabbit with Grain Mustard, Honey & Apple
Serves 4 in 2.0 Hours
Rabbit is not really seen very often on our menus. The image of Bugs Bunny or the children's pet does not really help. When I was young I remember an Italian family that lived a few streets away they reared beautiful big rabbits, we kept rabbits and I didn't think it unusual that they had similar pets. Except their rabbits seemed to stay forever young and bright looking. Unlike ours that grew old and a bit tired looking. Must have been the selective culling and restocking. They had a detachment from keeping rabbits as pets.

Roast Potatoes
Serves 4 in 50 Minutes
Roast potatoes are not as easily understood as one might think. There are all sorts of abominations going on. This is really easy to do. there is no need to boil them first or to put rice flour on them or to use goose fat. these are all peasant ideas that have no place at the table of 'haute cuisine'. As always the simple root is the best. It's not difficult so don't over complicate the job. Desiree, Maris Piper or King Edward are best for the job.

I've always got some salad in the bottom of my fridge and this dish is one that I make up when I?m looking for something simple and I just quickly roast the peppers to bring out the flavour of the natural sugars in them and toss them all together before adding the cheese and splashing with some good quality olive oil.
