leek & goat's cheese frittata and seafood curry

Having spent the weekend Mick Jones' stag mainly eating gizzards in France (although I did have a monster paella during the tag tournament we played in. Actually how come over here staple rugby food is chilli or spag bol, but over there it's a jug of red wine and a paella? Anyway, I digress...), my first day back only *slightly* hungover starts off triumphantly with a leek and goat's cheese frittata for the milo's bank holiday tea. He naturally starts with an artisan loaf as an amuse bouche...

milo...before moving on to the main course:

It then goes awry. Now I've wanted to cook this curry for four years, it looks amazing on the recipe card and fits in with our fish drive. However the end result bears no relation to the illustration - where's the coconut milk? Why is theirs dry and fried where mine is stewed and grey? Damn you Jamie Oliver!

Actually it's not 'terrible'; the bream is probably more 'fishy' than we'd like and was better sans skin, it was more disappointing really.

Food of the Milos
He has chips and risotto for a pub lunch in Richmond, and then the frittata for dinner. Chips are the hands down winner.
