- “Oliver arrived in good time, fully prepared and looking forward to the event. Oliver offered a menu of mushroom broth, gin sorbet, duck, sea bass and rhubarb dessert, discussed and agreed before the date. The plates were varied, colourful and packed with flavour. I particularly enjoyed the sea bass served on cavolo nero and crushed new potatoes. The dessert was a superb combination of tart rhubarb compote with a creamy, light rhubarb cheesecake and a sweet, crunchy pistachio praline. You need to taste this. To dine at home, with a chef to prep, cook and clean afterwards felt decadent and fuss-free.“
Oliver created an exceptional meal for his Validation Dinner. Each dish was perfectly cooked, and the special touches he included made the meal even more special. His range of culinary experience shone through and he was an absolute pleasure to host.
