This weekend, ChefMike and I travelled up together to Durley to cater a fabulous tasting menu dinner party to aid celebrate a very special birthday celebration. Having cooked for Tara and David previously, it was great to do so as part of a duo and also meet Tara's Mother. Each course was appreciated at the table and it was so rewarding after each delicious plate to receive such great comments :) We were cooking on show, with our wonderful guests dining in the kitchen area which made for an equally wonderful atmosphere. Being extremely well looked after for the duration of the evening, it was almost a shame to serve dessert!! A delightful and tantalizing trio of puddings was the last dish to finish off another all round excellent dinner party evening.
