Seems a bit crazy but I trekked across from Parma, Italy back to Norwich for one dinner and I wasn't even eating it.
It was a dinner we were cooking for all the celebrity chefs, food editors and journos during the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival.
There were 3 courses. The starter was a salad of smoked haddock, apple, leaves, vinegrette and creme fraiche - no pictures cos I've done this loads of times. What I came back for was the main, which was a take on Desperate Dan's pie and dessert.

| Sam slow cooked the beef, hallowed out the marrow from the bone which I then put lumps of into the stew. They are the white lumps that don't look like oysters. And then we put 4 oysters into each pie, one for each serving. |
 |
| Suet pastry and eggwash. |
 |
| Big dinner sized pies. Serves 4. |
 |
| Dessert - jelly made in sandcastle moulds with gold flakes. |
 |
| Icing sugar dusted around the sides. |
