Although our every weekend is special one way or another, they can vary on several levels. However this one is quite singular.
Starting Thursday we’re invited to Sheffield friends for a lovely dinner, lavender crusted salmon amongst the yummy courses.
On Friday we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary so after work we drive to Ridgeway on the outskirts of Sheffield to visit one of our regular favourites. The Old Vicarage has been around for over thirty years, but I can go back even further to Matilda Street in Sheffield and my eighteenth birthday, my first experience of Tessa Bramley’s exceptional cuisine.
Moving to the Old Vicarage just enhanced the adventure and since then she’s been growing in ability and stature.
Tonight’s dinner is six courses of exceptional taste and elegance, each one matched with a quality wine.
Saturday we’re cooking for eight, at a friends house for logistical reasons. Both dinner and company excel, and the wines are again delicious. We enjoy baked cod on a sweet potato mash with pea sauce and Parmesan crisp. Then pork ballotine stuffed with sausagemeat and apple sauce with baked apple, red cabbage and baked lettuce. We finished with sticky chocolate pudding
Sunday is just us, lunch is a walk and salad, dinner is just a simple roast chicken but with excellent accompaniments of Cumberland stuffing, gruyere cabbage, mashed carrot and swede.
