Day 11

I have just added the recipe for baked sea bass to the Main Dishes page. We enjoyed it last night, as Saturday is a good day to buy fresh fish here. Thalwil Migros has a great choice and helpful staff. In the summer months they also sell samphire, a salty vegetable which grows on marshes in Norfolk, UK, and also in Brittany. It's easy and quick to serve.

Richard went into the cellar for a Sauvignon Blanc selection and found one from Moevenpick. He's also the chief fish chef. I do the veg and taste the wine.

Tonight we're having roast chicken which is probably my signature dish. We love it garnished with lemon zest and thyme, and enjoy eating it with mashed potatoes and peas, carrots or cabbage with cumin.
