The Mojo is back

Well, I think my "cooking for fun" desire took a bit of a back seat ding the preliminary stages of planning the new venture - i.e. "cooking for work". I'm pleased to say, I think it might be back on today.

I went up to Moxon's Fishmongers in Clapham South today. Moxon's is undoubtedly one of the best places to buy fish in London, and you lucky people in East Dulwich now have a branch there too. Robin Moxon started off supplying fish to a large number of the top restaurants, he then opened, many moons ago, Moxon's Restaurant close to Clapham Common. It was a very sad day when this closed, as it was, in my humble opinion, the best place to eat in the environs. I mourned the loss of the place for a long while and then Moxon's returned, as a wonderful wet fish shop, Calloo, Callay! Anyway, sorry, slight ramble, I went up to order a sea trout for next weekend. It is a big birthday for a great friend and we are off, a group of six, to have a weekend of fabulous food, wine and company so more about that later. I decided to get some samphire as there was some outside and wondered in to be dazzled by the dispay. I asked Robin (always the best decision) what would be best, without hesitation he went for Turbot. I now have a couple of fillets of Tommy sitting waiting, some broad beans waiting for me to shell, some samphire, jersey royals, a bottle of white wine reduced to a few tablespoons and a lovely, vibrant chervil plant waiting for its first haircut. (of course there is a gin and ginger in play, try it, marvellous! and some wine cooling down). Join me later for an update and some photos for what came out of it all.
So happy it is back!

It's now 10pm, just finished dinner and it was delish. posting tomorrow.

So, the turbot was lovely, the salad of broad beans matched deliciously. Ahh, the joy is back again!
