Is the Sorbet home-made?
Sauce for Steak sounds great - how do you make it?

Can you describe how you prepared the courgettes please?
TIA
Sorbet wasn't home made.
For the sauce:
- Cook the steak in a thick bottomed pan (not non-stick)
- Remove the steak and keep warm
- Add a very little boiling water to the pan, and as it evapourates scrape the bottom of the pan so that you incorporate all the gunge at the bottom
- Add brandy, and stir ads it evapourates
- Turn the heat right down and add cream
Cougettes:
I cut the end off, and then sliced them very thinly with a potato peeler. I laid these slices on a plate, and marinated them in olive oil.
Oddly, they started to taste like fish after a while, which wasn't the idea. Any ideas why anyone?
So the courgettes weren't cooked?
No the courgettes were raw - but very finely sliced, and very fresh.
Prawns and Fennel come up a couple of times - a traditional combination? What makes them work together?
First time I'd had fennel and prawns was at Carluccio's the other week.
Was tasty, so tried to replicate it last night. They do go quite well together.
