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.

Monday, 22 February 2010. Early last Monday fire severely damaged the kitchens at Mugaritz, the world-famous restaurant in Spain's Basque Country. Luckily, no-one was hurt. For the management and staff of Mugaritz, the destruction of their workplace was a tragedy. But for three other young people, this was also a calamity. Many of you will be familiar with John Sconzo of Docsconz - The Blog. Posted by Craig Dryhurst. Tuesday, 9 February 2010. Febuary 9th du jour menu. Scallop and rosemary brochette.
