Salty yuk in my view, fron a company with a vile reputation.

Today I will be cooking Gnocchi in a tomato sauce with a balsamic vinagar base, with cod poached in milk with cheese and mushrooms, probably with spinach as the veg.

I've only done Gnocchi once before though and I think it is tricky to do well without practice.

Thats the beauty of cooking, when i use to cook for 400 or so people in the pub trade every day it became very mundane as it was the same stuff all the time.

I use to argue with the area manager saying that OK we are a chain of pubs and all that, but i think we should cater for the locals rather than have a set menu every day, his response was you can have a special board then produced me with a list of specials i was allowed to cook

Gnocchi is basically mashed potato made into a dough with flour, divided into bits pressed with a fork to give surface area, then cooked and used like pasta.

I love fish but nothing taste better than fish you have caught yourself and cooked.

While i was going though my divorce a few years back i went to tenerife for a while to help a friends mum paint her villa ( no good at painting but enjoyed the free holiday) anyway we were at the top of the island away from all the tourist and there is a very nice fish restaurant which serve the most tastiest fish i have ever tasted all cooked in their family secret sauce, i went back there 4 times just to have it again.

The only thing is they serve the fish whole and i mean whole eyeballs the lot

I'll admit to fish being a bit of a weak spot in my range. I do smoke my own Salmon etc, but I don't cook anywhere near as much fish as I would like
