There is little more satisfying than having a day off, going to your favorite food shops and spending money on fine cheese, meats, veg and wine with the intention of slowly grazing all day on it. This is how we spent our day off when the weather was good last week.
We started with cheeses, marinated anchovies, bread and homous. Then a friend turned up with a pretty awesome celeriac salad and a chicory and orange salad. There were artichokes, grilled peppers, pate and Burgundy.
Then it was about 5pm and we lit the Barbeque on which we obviously has some excellent chipolates, halloumi (no bbq complete with out) and corn cob. The absolute stars of the day however were the british asparagus, which we rubbed with butter salt and pepper and put on until warmed through and a beautiful steak from my favorite butchers, Godfreys. It saw a couple of minutes each side and we left it to rest while the blood started to bead on the top. One of the most perfect food days ever.
