Thalys train booked. No bookings to stay please !

Bonjour a tous! My 1st class trainticket from Amsterdam to Paris has been booked. I'll be leaving on the high speed Thalys-train on the 19th March.
Jayne will follow a few days later and she will stay with me for a short week. And please don't ask me when YOU can come over to stay (for free....) since I don't have my daily cooking schedule yet. Of course I will have the occasional visitor (no families or couples) for a day or so, but at the moment it's NON. Sorry.

At the moment I'm practicing a few dishes and techniques again. Did quite a bit with fish (sole, brill, dorade, sea bass, cod, skate, oysters, red bass) again, as well as some dishes with duck, steak(s) and lamb.

But no caul fat please!

 
I'm enjoying it a lot! By the way, I'm not doing anything will caul fat, braising meat, hugh amounts of butter and turned vegetables....
And I haven't prepared a rabbit (yet) to make us a nice meal....
In short, I'm really enjoying the cooking at the moment and I'm really looking forward to go back to Paris again. The sooner the better!

Until soon,
sjoerd

  1. Hi Sjoerd,

    Nice blog. My mom and aunt will be in Paris in April and I told them about you. They're wondering if they can stay with you for a week or so. They are very neat and considerate. Thanks buddy.

  4. 'Snapper' will be cooked to perfection ! it can be delicious, white meat (puppy meat) is the best!

  5. Hi Sjoerd,

    I am coming to Paris May 9, 10 and 11. I hope I can find a way to attend Le Cordon Bleu as a guest or observer with for the day or part of on the 10th or 11th (I think the 9th is a Sunday). Don't worry I already have an apartment booked ;)- I will email you soon to see if you have your schedule. I am sooooooo jealous!
