Right.

I was out for tea last night at a right posh place, and we got an amuse bouche of courgette cappuccino - which was absolutely beautiful!! However, I now can't find a recipe to try and recreate it myself!

I know it definitely had garlic in it (definitely no mistaking that lol) and obviously courgettes (and i'm not really fussed about the wee bit of white foam on the top - that was (as my friend so nicely put it) just patter!!) but the only recipes i can find online just look kinda wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated

what was the posh place called?

I know Heston has released a fat duck cookbook, so the place you went to may have something similar

Nah, I don't think it was quite Heston-esque like that, but it was the Craigleith Restaurant within the Macdonald Marine Hotel in North Berwick.


Ruddy lovely.

Is this any good: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...cino%26hl%3Den

I googled it and a recipe came up in Dutch but I clicked on the translate page and this appeared (in case it comes up in Dutch when you click the link!)

ETA: Ha ha, this is a Belgian recipe http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...cino%26hl%3Den - I like the bit when it says Go to China!

Suggestions Suggestions
Je vous laisse le soin d'essayer également cette recette avec des filets de truite fumée ou du flétan fumé, c'est délicieux et c'est aussi rempli d'Omega 3. I leave you also try this recipe with fillets of trout smoked or smoked halibut is delicious and it is also full of Omega 3.

Cette recette fonctionne très bien aussi sans le poisson fumé. This recipe also works very well without the smoked fish.
