Strictly Fine Dining: June 2012
http://strictlyfinedining.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 June 2012. Brunch Series Dish 3: Poached Lobster Benny, Waffle, Plum Tomato Jam, Gruyere, Chive Hollandaise. Here is a dish just recently launched onto our brunch menu. We use 100% Oceanwise lobster from Fabian Bates at Sing Sing lobster. This is a really nice balance of sweet tart tomato jam and rich gruyere cheese which sitting on the waffle absorbs all the released moisture. Its a nice twist on the classic eggs benedict and has gone down very well with our guests. Posted by Craig Dryhurst.

Strictly Fine Dining: Eggs and cheese on toast
http://strictlyfinedining.blogspot.com/2010/12/eggs-and-cheese-on-toast.html
Friday, 31 December 2010. Eggs and cheese on toast. Here is a free range duck egg cooked in a waterbath for 1 hour at 63C. It is paired with almond toast, parmesan custard and shaved truffle. The duck egg cooked in this method cooks the white so delicately, almost transclucent. The yolk though remains thickly runny and rich.
