Not just deep fried Mars Bars....

So in the spirit of procrastinating, to give our blog a bit more life and a break from Philly's political rantings and his love affair with Barrack Obama, here is another food post which I need to sneak in before the great Malaysian trip over shadows it. Yes, there is more to food in Edinburgh than deep fried Mars Bars. Last Thursday I was invited to a cooking class at Martin Wishard's (Michelin Star Chef) new cookery school in Leith where we made the most fabulous food - Jerusalem Artichoke Soup with Panchetta and Chestnut Puree, followed by Steamed Sea Bass with Tomato Vinaigrette and Juilien Vegetables, and then a Rhubarb and Creme raise Parfait with Strawberry Coolie. Amazing....

And then last Friday we went to dinner at my crazy American friend Sarah's house were we made Mexican food - G-free enchiladas and Blue Corn Tamales, stuffed with Black Beans and Pork which are then steamed in Corn Husks. Frighteningly good! Right back to my essay on Reform and Deregulation of the Korean Economy...... But this time next week I will be in the sun.
