Right folks,
Tonight was their first night back in the US after months on the other yacht in Europe.
Shit can go wrong really quickly. Vegetables taste of nothing in Miami generally, same for fruit. I buy my vegetables from Chef's Garden in Ohio - not bad but still no where near the same sweetness and flavour as in Europe. Seriously, honestly, I have been doing this a long time. Everything in the fruit and vegetable department tastes better in Europe.
Anyway, I tried to keep it simple and serve the things they like and they know.
This is what I served tonight. Not the best looking mind you, but tasted great.
Madame enjoyed hers's. Mr didn't. Captain had the third bowl and loved it.
Roasted vegetable soup with toasted pine nuts, parmesan and Vente del Baron extra virgin olive oil
Salad of Heritage tomatoes, rocket, eggplant and zucchini
I marinated the eggplant and zucchini in a bit of olive oil, sabu, thyme and garlic before roasting them.
Main course
Roast loin of Niman Ranch lamb with mash potatoes, asparagus and baby kale
Sous vide poached half the lamb then rolled it in thyme before frying it. Roasted the other half. Put it on a plate, served it with a balsamic lamb sauce.
Fruit plate for Madame
Ice cream, roasted apples and activated walnuts for him.
It worked, they loved the lamb and were fairly happy with everything else.
Until tomorrow.
Michael xx
