Away with friends last weekend, we visited the excellent Viva restaurant in Matlock, at which the food was drool-makingly glorious. We all feasted well throughout our time away, casting off various dietary restraints (look, I only claim to be ninety-five per cent vegan).
Shelley was anxious to justify her demolishing of Viva's fine profiteroles, two nights running ~ yes, they were covered in chocolate sauce, and came with a side helping of fresh cream, but were made from the lightest of light choux pastry.
Indeed, as she explained to Cathy, underneath all that chocolate sauce ....
'It's basically just air'
A triumphy of confectionery, indeed!
At the risk of doing that Facebook thing, I must just show you some of the delights we ate....the 'vegetariano' pasta (fettucini) was amayyyzing!
Cathy with her salmon risotto,
Shelley with her pizza with everything, and an egg 😃
