Chicken slow-cooked in sherry vinegar and brown onion


Almond tart with mascarpone and mandarins marinated in saffron syrup and served with toasted pine nuts

The pre-dessert scene

Guest numbered nine and empty bottles at the end of the evening numbered 11. Is that the verdict of the dinner party right there?
Religion may have featured in conversation...

It was a pleasure and a priviledge to host such a fine group of people.
