Potted crab for lunch (see picture) at the lovely Millbrook Inn (literally next door to Ruth & Matt's cottage). Cannot start to tell you how delicious a simple dish like that can be. It was potted, but it was so fresh! Loads of flavour. Sooooo much better than lobster in my humble opinion.
Thanks JP (Jean-Philippe Bidart: head chef at the Millbrook Inn) for this first delicious meal in Devon!
Feel utterly lucky and spoilt being here.
Tonight we're going to cook Jamie's sea bass (just bought it from fish mongers in Kingsbridge - wild, not farmed!) with sweet potato mash and Asian greens with soy & chilli. Yum!
Also bought a few bottles of Crabbie's original alcoholic ginger beer - the rrrrrreal one (see picture). Look forward to having that at some point with some ice cubes and a slice of lemon. So British - wonderful!!
Totally winding down here. So relaxed. Anyone for a holiday in the UK...? Yes, please!!! Weather holding up beautifully too. That must've come with tons of luck.... Or perhaps we've just deserved it ;-)?
More Devon foodie news to follow later I'm sure!
Love,

Lovely to see you at the feast on Sunday. You inspired me to do some proper cooking: Asian Salmon last night, Chicken and Ham pie just devoured! I'm looking forward to your next Devon instalment ... Emx
