by Jeanne Horak on June 28, 2006 10 Comments in EoMEoTE

EOMEOTE16-Announcement

Well, another month is well and truly over and I’ve stretched the concept of an EoMEoTE “deadline” as far as it can go without breaking, so I guess it’s time to round up the shady members of the Priory of Poulet and see what the Da Cluki Code really means.  The challenge this month was […]

The Fat Duck – a 3 Michelin star lunch in Bray

by Jeanne Horak on June 1, 2006 10 Comments in British Isles restaurants

The Fat Duck foie gras

You know how they say the path of true love never runs smoothly?  Well let me assure you that the same can be said for fine dining.  Getting to my birthday lunch was an uphill struggle from the word go, in other words, the booking process.  In common with other fine dining establishments, the fun […]
