hendersons Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I would have made the drive down if it had fallen on the right day. So as others have said definitely date depending. Just out of curiosity where did the chef achieve his two Michelin stars? Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local Baker bakes Novelli's bread for him , bakes them in terracotta flower pots and then they are served in the same size flower pots, but not the ones they are baked in. I think Novelli warms them through just for appearances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlander Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I should think the £25 cost is whats putting most people off, sounds a lot of money for something you can see on the tube of you. Outlander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendersons Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi Terry I'm good at the moment. Had the worst august and September at work that we have ever had.So things were looking not too rosey for a while. We Were even having to start thinking about who we would lay off first. Fortunately october is tuening out to be the best weve ever had so all is well again.How are you and yours? Have you managed to get me that piccalilli recipe yet or are you still sworn to secrecy? Interesting stuff about Novelli. I used to find it a bit strange that French chefs with all their history of making fine breads would buy bread. As my experience becomes greater though I can see where they are coming from. It would be a shame if all restaurants made their own and we lost all the quality bakers of this world.I once had dinner with Novelli the man is completely mad. I have never met anybody able to sink champagne at the speed he can and still remain compus mentus. It is a shame I can't make th date as it would have been nice to meet up with you again and meet a few more of the guys from here. It would also have been good to see the chef prepare the food I could have picked up a few pointers. As far as price goes £25 including dinner and a drink seems very fair infect without looking at his web site I feel sure that this would be a discounted price. I find more and more with food and anything to do with food you really do get what you pay for. All the best Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cookery course has now been cancelled, it is a shame, Peter had worked hard to get it sorted but to no avail. Sorry to hear you have had a tough time but pleased to know you are getting over it. Hope to meet up again soon. Regards Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
