Roast Monkfish Tail wrapped in parma ham, on a bed of garlic mash, with a creamy mussel sauce.
Wrap a small fillet (6oz) of monkfish tail in two wafer thin slices of parma ham, sear in a hot pan with olive oil, until golden brown all over.
Then put the pan with the monkfish into a very hot oven and roast for 5 minutes, pull it out and let it rest in a warm place until ready to serve.
Make up some mash potatoes and flavour with crushed garlic, butter, salt and pepper.
In a small wok, fry a small handful of chopped onions in a little butter, add half a teaspoon of garlic.
After a minute or two add a handful of fresh, washed mussels and shake around in the pan.
Add half a small glass of wine and a good dollop of fresh cream, cook until all the mussels have opened and the sauce has thickened, add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
The dish is now ready to assemble, place a generous spoon of mash on a large warmed bowl, slice the fish into 3 and arrange on top of the mash and spoon the mussels with the sauce around the fish.
Finish with a nice sprig of parsley.
Simple and delicious, bon apetit!

EOC: Who or what is your favorite product/producer in Cornwall?
I would choose Watts our local butcher in Rock. The meat is fully traceable, very well kept and he let’s me know whats best.
We try to help each other if guests ask where to get Steak for the barbecue I send them to Watts, and if his customers are looking for a great meal, then he send’s them to us.
A great partnership.

Lobster Risotto with Orange and Tarragon
4 portions
FOR THE LOBSTERS
2 live lobsters weighing between 600g to 750g
Bring a large saucepan of very salty water to the boil (if you can get it use sea water). Take the lobster and place it on a chopping board, insert the tip of a sharp knife through the back of the head at the point where the head has a cross. This will kill the lobster immediately. Remove the claws from the body and the tail from the head. Blanch the tail in the water for 1 minute and the claws for 3 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size lobster this recipe is for 750g lobsters. Whilst hot remove the meat from the claws and tails and chill. Once cold chop up the claws making sure you check for cartilage and cut the tail down the centre and remove the intestine and chop the same size as the claws. Chill until ready for use.
FOR THE RISOTTO BASE
200g canaroli risotto rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
500ml vegetable stock
75g unsalted butter
25ml olive oil
Heat up the stock. Place a pan onto the heat and add the oil and butter when the butter is melted add the onion and cook for 3 minutes then add the rice and cook for another 3 minutes with out colour. Add the stock ladle by ladle stirring all the time. The rice will take 14 minutes to cook. It should still be firm in the centre of the grain. Once cooked place onto a tray and allow cooling.
TO FINISH THE RISOTTO
100g grated parmesan
50g unsalted butter
1 orange segmented and chopped
50g picked tarragon
4 spring onions finely sliced
Vegetable stock
Place the rice base into a pan and with some vegetable stock and the butter. Place onto the heat and cook for 3 minutes, if you need more stock add it. Add the remaining ingredients and remove from the heat. Continue to stir for 1 minute and taste the seasoning add salt and pepper as required and serve.

Andy Carr @ The Bakehouse Restaurant, Penzance...

EOC: Who or what is your favorite product/producer in Cornwall?
Seafood / Jake Freethy (boat is called Go For It!) the best lobster catcher / fisherman I know!
EOC: When not eating your own food where do you like to eat well?
What I really like is very simple, rough, earthy no fuss food. A real back street coastal, unadulterated secret. The type of place the French/Spanish/ Italian/Greek locals know about but never speak of. High art food science doesn’t really float my boat...
EOC: Where would you like to eat before you die?

The place mentioned above if I ever find it!
EOC: Where would you like to be in five years time?
I’m very happy doing what I’m doing at the moment. To own a chain of restaurants has never appealed to me. I would, however love to tell our bank where to go...
EOC: What is the secret of a perfect omelette?
Practice, Patience, a good heavy pan! And of course best eggs from mother's chickens.

Cornish Specialities and Recipes.
The pasty was originally a handy all-in-one meal of meat and vegetables for hungry miners and labourers, cooked, carried and served in its own pastry crust. Clotted cream was made overnight on the kitchen range and served with Cornish splits, puddings or even added to savoury recipes. There are saffron cakes, buns and heavy cake, traditionally baked for fishermen returning with their catch. The many varieties of fish landed in Cornwall are still cooked in traditional local recipes such as Stargazy pie. There are recipes here for you to try. Or perhaps you have a favourite “Cornish” recipe, old or new, to share.
