Day 17: First night's dinner

Margot says:

This evening our dinner was amazing!  Fish, Sicilian style, followed by stuffed chicken breast with a truly great creamy tarragon sauce, followed by a light dessert of chocolate parfait accompanied by a brandy-style basket filled with sliced fruits.

I can't take too much of meals this size every day so tomorrow we have only ordered one course.

Steve is happy for us to watch him at work in his wonderfully equipped kitchen, built to enable him to conduct cooking classes and demonstrations.  He is a Michelin star master chef whose interest in cooking was inspired by his grandmother and from the age of 7 he knew he wanted a career as a chef.  Sue, on the other hand is an interior designer with a great eye for style and art and this is evidenced throughout the house and garden.
