    The recipe for the brownies sounds very interesting, but I see no where in either recipe for the brownie base or the ganache topping that the watercress is used. Is it baked in the brownie or do you steep it in the cream, and strain, or fold it into the warm ganache. It’s in the ingredient list, but doesn’t seem to be in the finished product. Some help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Mother’s Day is when now? Anyway what a spread, I think this is what I’ll ask for as a last meal. Even the watercress and pink grapefruit cocktail is to die for. Beautiful lay out and photos.
