We have had a fantastic week and to be honest, I am in denial this weekend that our lovely vacation is coming soon to an end (but not yet.) Today the guys went fishing, caught some gambas (Spanish reference to small prawns) and dressed them with some parsley and garlic for a midday meal. It is amazing what simple spices can do to make something so delicious. Most of what Avner has created while we have been here have been very simple with a few local ingredients focusing on the natural flavors of the food and just enhancing them.
We are taking it easy most of the weekend but Monday night Avner is going to visit one of his friends at Joël Robuchon in Monte Carlo and join him in the kitchen for the evening. Contemporary, inventive cuisine concept under the expert guidance of Master Chef Joël Robuchon and supervised by Executive Chef Christophe Cussac. This beautiful restaurant can be find at five-star Hotel Metropole.
Avner is excited and is looking forward to an evening of working in the kitchen.
Until then ~ adieu from the Samuels.
