Iced forest fruits with white chocolate sauce

22 February, 2007 Veronica Leave a comment

This recipe has apparently been on the menu at The Ivy since it opened in 1981. Simple to prepare, and terribly naughty. Just tell yourself it’s one of your “five portions a day”. This quantity serves about 4.

Crème au muscat et pruneaux au calvados

22 February, 20073 April, 2010 Veronica Leave a comment

You must make the prunes at least a week and preferably a month beforehand. Do plenty … they are very moreish! (and they should keep for months anyway).

If you want to be less wicked, replace up to half the cream with milk – I did, with no ill effect on the final result.

The Polynesian national dish, as prepared on a Tahitian beach.

Carpaccio aux deux thons

21 February, 2007 Veronica Leave a comment

You may be dubious about raw fish, but I can assure you that this tastes superb and is a very elegant and original starter (if you can get hold of the fresh tuna of course). It’s very rich — you only need small helpings.
