Morty surprised me for my birthday and booked us into Baslow Hall in Derbshire for one night and dinner in Fischer's, their Michelin Restaurant. It was indeed a surprise because the Chef was one of the competing chefs in The Great British Menu 2008 and I'd seen him cook on the television.
Above are the hot and cold canapes served before dinner. I have eaten Foam now. All modern chefs Do Foam now. The tastes are extremely intense, yet light and delicious.
Above are our deserts, a selection from the dinner menu. Ice creams, souffle, fruit and thin biscuits and chocolate.
Above are the petit fours and lollipops served with divine coffee. A totally wonderful eating experience and my first ever meal sampling Great British Cooking. It was a privilidge. Our room with a canopied bed was utter luxury. Baslow Hall is set in gracious, landscaped gardens and we were made to feel very welcome.
We shall return.

Cooking on the telly? You'd need an old fashioned cathode ray tube for that wouldn't you? And how do you control the heat? Must be one of those daft Blumenthal ideas.
Ha Rob. I need to rephrase that don't I?
Yes. Foam is one of his daft ideas. I heard Pru Leith describe it as Scum On The Telly yesterday.
Done it again.
Great birthday present!
What a luscious surprise.
