Chocolate Plants

Last Friday we had an informal dinner party at Katherine's house. Following Katherine's tabasco-ridden disaster of a soup the night before, George showed how it was done by whipping up a delightful roasted tomato affair (thanks for rubbing it in, George). For the main course we had mouthwatering beef with parmasan and polenta, but it was the pudding that really was icing on the cake so to speak.

 George had sent Katherine on a pot-finding mission to find a bundle of terracotta plant pots to serve up the chocolate plants in. The chocolate plants are actually several textures of chocolate with a star anise caramel centre topped off with fennel to look like real sprouting plants.

Looks like soil, tastes like chocolate.

Definitely one for the next supper club!

This evening George is helping out Ben Spalding of Roganic at the Young and Foodish Burger Monday pop-up at Andrew's.

Katherine isn't feeling very well, so is drinking lemsip and watching Clueless with her housemates.

Goodbye for now,
