This was my favorite dish of the day; Fried artichokes and Aioli

Leek Gratin

We really enjoyed every single dish. Brawn will be one of my favorite restaurant now. So many dish I like to try!

From Daylesford farm

I went to Daylesford farm(http://www.daylesfordorganic.com) in Gloucestershire. Their award winning Cheddar cheese is one of my favorite English cheese. Also I'm big fan of their meat, specially their lamb. Even if you don't like lamb, maybe this lamb could change whole idea about lamb. They also have Plimico shop and Notting hill shop.

Odette's

Today is a Chinese new year, apparently I shouldn't wash any dishes today, so it's better to eat out. I went to Odette's Restaurant & Bar in Primrose Hill (http://www.odettesprimrosehill.com). Restaurant served us this warm white chocolate mousse, cold blackberries inside as complimentary. Contrast between warm and cold, sweet and sour sweet was very good.
