With Itamar Srulovich and Max Halley, lunch at The Ritz orchestrated by chef John Williams for which no superlative would be superfluous. Special mention: steamed egg custard with 36-month aged Parmesan and truffle sauce plus gougères.
Before seeing Babyteeth at the stylish Everyman Kings Road, supper at Le Colombier includes fricassée de rognons de veau à la Dijonnaise.
Upstanding aubergine Parmigiana at happily re-opened Norma in Charlotte Street.
Pan-fried stone bass with tarragon butter sauce with my delicious stepdaughter Amy Gadney who has breathed new life and love into The Royal Oak pub in Ramsden, Oxon. Vaut le voyage definitely.
An English idyll is lunch created by chef Henry Harris recollecting his restaurant Racine beside a wild flower meadow in The Chelsea Physic Garden. Signatures include grilled rabbit with mustard sauce. Mr McGregor said to be very pleased.
