When you are choosing potatoes for a recipe, remember that waxy potatoes and baby new potatoes are excellent for salads; large Kerr's Pinks or Golden Wonders are good for baking and Maris Pipers are the potato of choice by chefs for the best mashed potatoes.

4 soupspoons of creme fraiche
1 glass of cider/dry white wine
3 shallots
Pepper
Coarse sea salt

    

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 240°C.
2. Remove the skin from the camembert and chop into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the shallots and place them in a pan with the cider/wine.
3. Heat gently and allow to reduce before adding the cream, the  camembert and some freshly milled pepper.
4. Pour the water off the oysters. Place a layer of sea salt on a large oven-to-tableware dish, and put the oysters on top. Spoon some camembert sauce onto each oyster and bake for 10 minutes.
5. Serve immediately with some crusty bread and a bottle of chilled dry white or cider.
