As I began to think about what to write in this post, I realised that I didn’t talk about our move from London to Manchester! Well, I’ll talk about it now … It doesn’t really changes things to you, as you read, does it? 🙂
It’s a city that still do not know, but I think it deserves a photo tribute. This city survived the industrial crises, and its historical center was pretty much destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1996.
It is a city that lyes at the Peak District and Lake District’s feet, which means that there probably are the best England’s natural scenarios, with a beautiful romantic green and places of an old beauty.
While the city is in a middle of a full renovation, there still are majestic, innovative and modern structures.
Here’s my little and partial tribute and to follow, my recipe, a lobster “alla Catalana”.

Ingredients for 2 people

• 1 whole lobster alive (but mine was frozen)
•  ground white pepper
• black salt
• 80 gr. of spinach
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 2 shallots
• 1 carrot, cut into strips
• 1 stalk celery, cut into strips
• 1 peach
• some raspberries
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Dante)
• lemon juice

Put the whole lobster in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and cut the vegetables and place them on your plate.
Prepare a vinaigrette with 3 parts of oil, 1of  lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Drain the lobster, place it on a chopping board and cut it in two parts, starting from the head going down. A sharp chef’s knife would do it.
Drizzle with the vinaigrette and enjoy it, before with your eyes and then with your mouth!

Greetings from Manchester 🙂
