Nice one Phil !! I'm a huge fan of the Trimbach CFE and I'd have to say the 90 and 01 are probably my 2 favourites. I'm a tad jealous !

Firstly, to give it the full nameÃ¢â‚¬Â¦. Fillet of Sea Bass on Toast with White Aubergine and Garlic Emulsion, Tomato & Mussels. I have to say this was the most perfectly cooked piece of fish with its apparent simplicity and from a proper sized fish too. Just incredibly moist, meaty & above all tasty with the combination of ingredients. BUTÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ the inspiring thing was the Ã¢â‚¬ËœtoastÃ¢â‚¬â„¢. Crisping the skin conventually leads to one half of the fillet being overcooked. This was replaced by an amazingly fine skin of bread, fried in some decent fat & then put on the fish to mimic the skin. Heaven.

NowÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ how about next course.... Rump of Veal Baked in Bay with Girolles Cooked in Apricot Juice, White Carrots & Coffee Potatoes?

Awesome pictures. Not a mobile phone camera I'm guessing!
