@mkeats Don't give up, there's a lot of experimentation, but it's worth it when you get it right :)

@mkeats Yeah - the quantities involved are too small. I bought some that measure down to .01g on ebay for a fiver.

The Fat Duck

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I was 30 last week. Great. The good thing was that we got a last minute cancellation The Fat Duck in Bray and were there like a shot for dinner service on my birthday itself.

Everything was just perfect - the food utterly out of this world (and I think would have been even more amazing if I didn't know quite a lot of the courses already), service impeccable, decor was muted yet somehow suited the mentalness of everything else.

I didn't take pictures of every single course (most people did take cameras though) but I snapped a few. You can see other peoples' up on Flickr.

Even though it was £130 a head (goes up to £150 in January) I still think this represents amazing value for money. We had 15-odd courses and were there for 4½ hours. I've had three courses at other places that were nearly as expensive.

Go. Do anything. Sell an organ, anything! Just go!
