Another slightly indulgent dish. Spaghetti carbonara, with Canadian maple pancetta and muscovy duck cracklin'. Comfort food at its finest.
Boeuf "Chinois": cabernet braised short ribs with "sauce de soya superieur", shiitake mushrooms, shallots and thyme. Both the soy and the mushrooms add a deep meaty undertone to the sauce.
Yet another non-heart healthy dish, but this one looks pretty. Sweetbreads, fleur de sel, red wine poached pear, garlic crouton, with port glaze.
Couldn't resist this one..... Ly's fire ribs, from the Chez Piggy Restaurant kitchen recipes. Not low fat at all, but a good occasional indulgence!
Cracklin' chicken au jus, with roasted potatoes, creme fraiche and chives. A teaspoon of creme fraiche never hurt anyone!
Pork bone soup, with shiitake mushrooms and lemongrass. Perfect for a cold winter night.
