Last supper

Wednesday 26 March 2003 09:46
What menu would you choose?
Seared scallops, followed by a spit-roast lamb we could all share, then an apple tart fine to finish.

What cocktail would you serve?
Kir Royale.

Where would you eat the meal?
Somewhere warm, overlooking the sea.

Which chef would you ask to cook the dinner?
Michel Guérard. He inspired me to start cooking, so it would be fitting that he would be there at the end.

What wine would you match with the dishes?
A Chassagne-Montrachet with the scallops, and a Romanée-Conti with the lamb.

What kind of bread would you serve?
The house breads from Aux Lyonnaise (the new Alain Ducasse collaboration in Paris).

Which critic would you bar at the door?
I would never let criticism make me feel like this. Life's too short, especially in this scenario!

What music would you choose?
Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor.

Who would you invite to play it?
Vanessa Mae and Nigel Kennedy - that would be interesting.

Which flowers would you have decorating the table?
Freesias. They always put me in good spirits.

Which 12 people would you invite to your Last Supper?
John Lennon, the Pope, Picasso, Einstein, the Marx brothers, Elizabeth David, the Dalai Lama, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and David Bailey.

What would you wear?
A linen suit.

Who would you have as your after-dinner speaker?
Comedian Jack Dee - we used to work together at the Ritz.

What coffee or tea would you serve?
Double espresso, and a mint or camomile tea for the Pope.

What type of petits fours would you eat with the coffee?
A piece of nougat and a chocolate truffle.

Which of your dishes would you leave to posterity?
The tagine of Anjou pigeon at Orrery.
