Private Dinner Party, Rob and Shaz, Wiltshire
This weekend, ChefGay travelled to Melksham in Wiltshire, cooking an exciting gourmet tasting menu for 6 fabulous guests. Being a return visit to a very familiar kitchen, it was a pleasure to be back and cook up each dish and be part of the evening's celebrations. Starting with a delicious array of canapes and then having no less than seven more courses the dinner party was a brilliant experience and success all round.
