"A little insight to our world"
The wedding of my brother to the lovely Karen!!!
The beautiful bride
The possibly slightly nervous groom!
Hurray!!!
Happy days!!!
With the stressfull bit done it's a stroll through Chichester
To the pub for some celebratory drinks!!!
Lovely!
A bite to eat....
and then settle in for....
......the Liverpool United game! Result 1-0 United!!!
(This day was never going to be a conventional day)
After a hard fought for victory there was a break in the afternoon when guests made there way back to Midhurst to various homes and hotels to prepare for the evening....
The venue
A circular marquee with adjoining rooms for eating and dancing etc...
I have run out of time for the commentary as have to go to an event, I will return, but it goes something like this.......

"The trip to the Fat Duck"
In preparation for Emma & Ashley's wedding we took a trip to the famous 3 star Michelin restuarant The Fat Duck where Ashley is the head chef.
It was great to meet Ashley face to face for the first time and he welcomed us with a rather nice glass of champagne, at good start.
As we had not been before could not resist the tasting menu..
Aplogies for the quality of the pictures, only had the phone for these.
Very theatrical
The legendary snail porridge
There we go, clean plate!
The ipod's come out for the next course
Note the chap in background taking detailed notes on each course
"The Sound of the Sea"
A very interesting blend of sounds, textures tastes and visuals
Impressive..
Taking it much more seriously now
Cheers!
Lastly is the equally legenadry bacon and egg ice cream
A little of this
A little of that &....
Voila!!
(Sorry can't get the accent on the a)
Once again intriguing and delicious
After the meal Ash showed us around the main restuarant kitchen, Bee looks very keen to see what's going on
And then took us to see the developement kitchen where they create some of the most unusual food in the world and where Heston does some of his filming for TV
All in all a great day out, must go again soon!!!!

"Ashley Palmer-Watts visits Jacaranda"
Being such a high profile chef it was only natural that Ashley would like to try some of the things we do. We had put some dishes together that we thought would be appropriate and working to his breif of simple but good.
Ashley 
Parmesan and cherry tomato tart
Herb marinated poached salmon
Smoked trout fillet with watercress, apple and red onion salad
Tasting going well!
Fromage frais cheese cake
and our almost famous white and dark chocolate torte!
See you at the wedding.......

"The marriage of Emma Bowden to Ashley Palmer-Watts at the Tithe Barn"
Thankfully it was a beautiful day at the Tithe Barn for Emma and Ashley's wedding.
Drinks and canapes were circulated by the team
All the tables were of course named after the greatest resturants in the world.
(I couldn't get into the French Laundry last time I was in California, Ashley said let him know next time, it's not what you know....)
The Tithe Barn looking fabulous with the elegantly dressed tables
Top table
The main course of organic butterflied legs of lamb is cooked al fresco
and to perfection!!!
Plating up in back in the kitchen
