I have eaten some of my all time favourite meals at Fleur De Sel in Lunenburg, and have even done some events with Martin & Sylvie (oh the fun we had!). So, I was really exited when "Marty" asked me if I would be willing to come to the restaurant at the end of November to pair up and cook some food.
Martin and I have been admirers of each other's work for some time now, but this will be the first time we will have the chance to actually cook together – the results should be fantastic. We are really looking forward to the night and we do hope to see you there.
