My wonderful mother is 70 years old today (Happy Birthday Mum) so we all went out to the restaurant at the Studley Park Boathouse for Sunday lunch!

Entree – confit duck and shitake mushroom tortelone with cucumber tagliatelle (extremely yummy) – washed down with a glass of Moet

Main – so delicious that I’d eaten it before I remembered to take a photo – new season lamb rump on summer bean pinenut cassoulet with a light rosemary infused jus and mint oil

Dessert – absolutely divine white chocolate creme brulee

And decadent nibbles with coffee.

Very different from the usual Sunday lunch of toasted cheese and ham sandwiches.
