Hell for swell

[timespliters]

Hell's Kitchen head chef Marco Pierre White is preparing to switch to the more serene atmosphere of P&O Cruises' new ship Ventura.

Among the nine restaurants on board the vessel, to be launched next April, will be his fine dining venue The White Room, which will serve classic Italian cuisine.

Ventura will also be home to the first floating Frankie's Bar & Grill, Pierre White's restaurant in partnership with champion jockey Frankie Dettori.

He has finalised menus for The White Room, with dishes to include veloute of pea with pancetta, fillet of turbot with citrus fruits, olive oil, coriander and baby fennel, and hot raspberry souffle.

Pierre White said: "After being in Hell's Kitchen, I am looking forward to the heavenly surroundings on board Ventura.

"The menus I have created for the White Room have been put together using simple authentic ingredients to produce colourful, light dishes where the flavours speak for themselves."

sorry what was that you where talking about it left port it sailed enter a port and left again that makes it a cruise whether its been christened or not giggle. Those who dont like that are just jealous because you were on it and they werent whistelsm (although can understand the maideners being upset)

We met M.P.W last year, as we were fortunate (I think that's the word) to receive tickets to dine at Hells Kitchen .... it was eventful and we did get served and eat too!!!

He was a very quiet spoken man with a huge passion for what he does, we mentioned that we were going on Ventura and he said he was 'looking forward' to a new concept.

As a woman of the world I think he has a very sexy appeal too him giggle

btw ..... yes it was a cruise (I agree with donna) and those who were booked on the maiden ..... well, life's not always as you planned it.
They would'nt have been the first to experience the ship, because the travel industry were invited to pre launches and sleepovers anyway so if they thought they were gonna be the first to lie in those beds, they were wrong.
People need to 'chilax' as my little girl would say lolsmi
