I did my best to try it all.
I enjoyed everything I sampled, and thought the flavor balances were good.
There was great balance between the serious and the light food.
The chickens were cut in an interesting fashion. Made sense, but was a little confusing.
The radish sallat was good when we arrived, but got stronger and stronger... yipes! I'll be serving this all summer, but not preparing it in advance. Thank you for introducing me to it.

The garlic pie, frumenty, apple pie and roasted pears were all exceptional. I enjoyed them each as remarkably good examples of their type.
The beef stew tasted very nice, but I think the bones were perhaps challenging for some.

Please pass him my compliments, I would like very much to have any of his dishes again at any event.
