We soon began to talk about our favourite food, countries we wanted to visit and the wonders of local produce. All this lead to us planning a new menu for the restaurant. The owner Julie was delighted with our ideas and gave us carte blanche. I reinvented the brunch menu to include freshly made hollandaise with all the usual trimmings like smoked salmon, bagels, spinach and poached ggs. Al worked on some gorgeous toothfish recipes for lunch. After a few weeks we formulated the idea of a sushi night. I was mad keen to learn all Al&#8217;s secrets as he had worked on several prestigious cruise ships as Sushi Chef.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-510\" style=\"width: 381px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nourished.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P1010717-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nourished.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P1010717-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.nourished.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P1010717-2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 381px) 85vw, 381px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Matias Sushi Chef<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He set about making Furikake known as the salt and pepper of Japan.
