When I was reading the Sunday Telegraph today I saw the menu for the evening reception for the Royal wedding .The dessert menu included brandy snap baskets filled with ice -cream as well as trifle and chocolate fondants! It made me smile because recently we had a over night michelin inspection and he asked at the end of our discussion if he could see the kitchen and during his tour I showed him the brandy snap baskets that had been making. I asked him if he thought they were a bit old fashioned. ''Not at all ''he replied ''they showed skill and should be included.'' Now I will always think of the michelin guide and the Royal wedding when I make them. lol I couldn't resist asking the Michelin inspector at the end of his visit what he thought of us and his reply was ''Berwick is very lucky to have Sallyport''. In a world of put downs ,you have to roll with the punches and don't dwell on sad things but that is a real positive comment that I won't forget
