Mr P made a delicious cream cheese croissant thing for breakfast today. IT was basically torn croissants topped with a sauce made of cream cheese, butter and demerara sugar and then baked in the oven for 15 mins and sprinkled with cinnamon and netmeg. Absolutely gorgeous, but hugely fattening.
As we ate this at about 12ish we didn't really have lunch, but after a trip to the gym I was feeling rather famished, so I had some good old marmite on toast.
Mr P certainly proved he is a man not to be messed with in the kitchen with tonights dinner. It was simply amazing and looked beautiful - I should really have taken a picture to post on here as my description will not do justice to the food, in this case a picture really does speak a thousand words.
We had gressingham duck legs which was resting on a potato rosti and cabbage, with chantenay carrots and a plum sauce. The rosti was deliciously crisp and not too greasy, which I often find rostis are. The savoy cabbage which sat upon it was perfectly cooked, not soggy at all. The duck leg was then placed upon that. The skin was so crisp and tasty, ye tht meat underneath still tender and moist. Mr P had laid a few of the mini carrots around the plate and put a spoonful of plum sauce on top. I am not often a fan of sweet foods in savoury but the sauce perfectly complemented the meatiness of the duck and the earthiness of the cabbage. A beautiful dinner.
