Good old fish

My boyfriend and I decided to cook fish for lunch as we wanted to eat heathily after a long gym session. We bought a whole salmon and rainbow trout from Tesco and took it home to cook. We first had to de-scale the fish and then clean out all the dirt from the inside. After making sure it is nice and clean we then cut slits so that we can stuff some butter, garlic and herbs to give the fish extra flavour. We used fresh parsley,dill and chives mixed with garlic butter. We cut slices of lemon and then drizzled some olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper before placing it in the oven. The rainbow trout was wrapped up in foil so that all the flavour stays inside and makes the fish nice and soft. 

Lunch at Raymond Blanc's Brasserie

I went to eat at Brasserie Blanc with my boyfriend in Milton Keynes to see how special Raymond Blanc's food actually is. He is one of the most famous French chefs known in the UK and I often see him on television presenting his great French recipes which always look sooo appetising and makes my mouth water every time. He was awarded 2 michelin stars and opened about 15 branches of his famous Brasserie Blanc which can be found all over the country. Le Manoir in Oxford is his most well known restaurant which was given 2 michelin stars and it is one of the restaurants that I would love to visit one day. Anyway here is what we ate at Brasserie Blanc in Milton Keynes. 

My Starter ~ ham hock and pea rissoto

Mains ~ Slow cooked belly pork, roast green apple sauce, spring cabbage

 

 

Mains ~ Mushroom stuffed corn fed chicken, fairy ring mushroom cream sauce

Dessert ~ apple and almond crumble

Dessert ~ Sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream

Overall I would say the meal was definitely very good and better than what I had expected. The taste was spot on and worth the money.
