Megéve, France

I have just returned from working in Megéve for 10 days in the beautiful Alps. The ski season is well under way and it was great to be able to provide a personal chef service to clients whilst they were on holiday, allowing them to get maximum time on the slopes!

Happy Valentines Day!

Raspberry and Pink Champagne Jelly

4 leaves gelatine
350ml (12fl oz) pink Champagne, Prosecco or Cava
2 tsp caster sugar
12 raspberries

1 Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes or until soft. Squeeze the leaves and discard the water.

2 Put 100ml (4fl oz) pink Champagne into a bowl that fits snugly over a pan of boiling water, add the gelatine and sugar and heat gently until the gelatine has dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the remaining Champagne and pour into a jug.

3 Place 3 raspberries in the bottom of each glass. Pour over a little jelly (just enough to cover the raspberries) and refrigerate until set. Very carefully and slowly, pour over the rest of the jelly into the glasses until each glass is almost full. Refrigerate until set.

These jellies will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge so perfect if you're planning a Valentines meal this weekend.
