st marys

This recipe is for my fish course from Great British Menu 2018. I recently spent some time in the A&E department at St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, London.  Feeling really vulnerable (and in pain) a kind nurse came to me in my hour of need and simply said “don’t worry, we are going to get you better”.  It was the most wonderful thing to hear and I will always be very grateful for that.  To reiterate above, I am constantly blown away by the selflessness of the medical staff, the support teams & the doctors at St Mary’s Paddington.  Obviously, the St Pierre and St Jacques in the title refer to John Dory/St. Peter’s Fish & scallops.
