How to make a great Bearnaise Sauce

February 11, 2018 by Christian Gott 2 Comments

Whisking Bearnaise Sauce

A Bearnaise sauce is simply an egg yolk, a shallot, a little tarragon vinegar, and butter, but it takes years of practice for the result to be perfect.”

Fernand Point, French chef, and restaurateur

Authentic Cantonese Pork

January 17, 2016 by Christian Gott 1 Comment

Sweet and Sour Pork

Properly done authentic Cantonese pork is delightful and my recipe is I hope a little more delicate than your local takeaways. And the fried egg? Well I had this dish served to me in China town and have served it like this ever since. The egg yolk adds another dimension altogether.
