Apologies for my absence to the blogging world of late, but I am back and raring to go. So much so you can find me now on Twitter - @thekitchenrat and keep up to date with my latest travels and adventures.
So, what have I been up to? My latest adventure took me around The World. Not the world as in our planet, but this niffty boat at travels around the world non-stop.
It's pitched as Residences at Sea and not a cruise ship - despite it's appearance.
The World is a luxury ship that continuously sails around the world. Some of the passengers live permanately on board in apartments they own, while others join the ship for a month or two at a time.
The voyages are incredible, with stop-offs to every corner of the world. From Iceland to Halifax, Canada; from Bahamas to Brazil, and Brazil to Antartica.
Alas my voyage was from Guernsey to Southampton...
But what a great experience... the suite was amazing, and the food on offer great. On my voyage we had guest chef Mark Jordon from the Atlantic Hotel, Jersey in the kitchen.
The menu for the evening included: Gin and Tonic jelly with lemon foam; caramalised pork belly, seared langoustines, wilted spinach, brazil nuts and jus d'Epice; Summer truffle risotto with fine beans and parmesan cappuccino; steamed Jersey sea bass, crab-crushed Jersey royals, asparagus, Champagne foam and to finish: Lemon Possett and Raspberry naugatine crunch.
Unfortunately for you - I ate it all before I took a photo! Sorry.
If you fancy booking yourself and seeing The World you can hop on at Whitehaven on 12 August, where you can continue to Liverpool, Greenock, Oban, Torshavn, Foroe Island, and Reykjavik. The World next stops in the UK in June 2011...
