Frisee & Cottage Cheese

A new crudite star is born. This came about accidentally tonight as I wanted to eat the left over frisee and cottage cheese. It is delicious this way.

frisee
tarragon, chives, parsley
dijon vinaigrette
a few tblsp cottage cheese

1. make frisee with herbs and vinaigrette
2. fold in the lumps of cottage cheese, and stir very crudely, making sure cottage cheese doesn't break up too much

Scallop & Truffle

A nice and simple little number. Sheer elegance and takes you 8 seconds to prepare. Nice to serve with a dessert fork and knife, as they are delicate. Make sure the balance of salt is just right; too little and the dish may come off as slightly bland.

maldon sea salt

1. mix all the ingredients together in a bowl
