Was a delightful evening hosted by GPH. The wines were a fine accompaniment to the meal cooked by Chef GPH, showing off his culinary skills across many methods of cooking - chicken, lamb, pork and that sous vide 51d beef.
 
In anticipation of a return visit from Buzz ( and the delightful Ruby) . I have placed ( in a secure location) the (unopened) Bottle of St Hallets, to be consumed upon their return.

Absolutely, I'm thinking I may wait till the weather warms up a bit and do something outside under the Pavilion.
More space outside, my Wee House doesn't have a formal dining room. !!
 
Looks like a fun evening :)

I'm sure my invite got lost in the mail :p:p
 
I must say, the company made the evening. ...,,, really good wine notwithstanding. :).
I may be convinced to do it again some time

Sounds like a "do"... :p
 
I've just read the entire thread (ok, it's only 3 pages) to work out our fellow AFF'er GPH looks to be a sensational chef. Well done...I'm impressed.

Last night I cranked up the sous Vide again.
Mrs GPH likes Pork chops / cutlets / steaks etc, I'm not a fan, pork cuts (to me) tend to lack flavour and are often dry when cooked. They are however lean. So I popped two nice reasonably thick cutlets into a vacuum bag with a good covering of salt and pepper and a knob of butter. ( you can add your favorite herbs and spices as well, even a sliced Apple). I Sous Vide'd for 4 hours at 56.5 deg ( medium rare). Some simple steamed veg on the side. NO sauce ! Mrs GPH was very happy. The pork was tender, not dry and had nice colour. ( I finished them off by searing them in a HOT pan for about 70 seconds each side.

The leanest my pork belly gets is when I remove the salted, honey glazed crackling to carve the meat. ;)
 
I think I have a corrupted App - it won't let me post the pictures to this thread for some reason :( .
 
I frequently seem to be having issues uploading pics via the App.
 
Well I was having a chin wag with QF WP the other day. It may take some organising.
I'm up to my ears in work stuff just now, and I need to coincide the evening with one of Mrs GPH's weekends at home (lol).
 
How about this (1970's inspired) menu!
Pate ( home made of course) with toast triangles and cornichons
Fish course: fillet of sole Bon Femme. ( a classic , .....Robert carrier eat your heart out)
Main : Either a "joint " of beef or "Fillet de Boeuf en croute ( or beef Wellington to you)
Pudding: .... Keep it simple either a pans cotta or ... Mrs GPH's world famous hand made Gelato. . ? Followed by a cheese board and port to round the evening off

I'm beginning to see my way clear - all the big items for the new business are now finalised or well down the track and I now am pushing more to Mrs QF WP (like organising tradies, office furnishings and colour scheme etc).

Maybe I should have an AFF "opening" for the office as well as one for my clients :D
