Chocolate Cake time

Just thought i'd share my lovely chocolate cake picture.  I've made this cake a dozen or so times but this time, rather than covering with chocolate icing, I covered with vanilla icing and topped with raspberries.

I'm not going to giveaway my secret recipe for making the most chocolatey cake ever (let's just say there is plenty of cadbury's involved) but you can find a recipe for a good chocolate cake here:

Les Deux Salons

I was really excited about finally visiting Les Deux Salons in Covent Garden, so jumped at the chance to take some clients there for dinner. 

The team behind Arbutus have done a fantastic job to create a restaurant with a fantastic ambience and more importantly, a mouth watering menu.

They've certainly done a fantastic job with the decor - you'd never have guessed it used to be an All Bar One. It looks authentically French.

The food was a triumph. Delicately cooked steaks, the best seabass i've had in a long time and an amazing cheeseboard, that you could smell on arrival.

One of my guests was a veggie, which left them with the option of one main meal - macaroni. So definitely not worth a visit if you don't eat meat!

Staff were stiff, unfriendly and hard to pin down. But a fantastic restaurant!



Definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.
