Also - Beetroot, cardamom and cherry salad.....really middle eastern flavours, with beautiful rich and glistening reds and purples; absolutely gorgeous.- and topped with some creamy, thick Greek yoghurt.
The geraniums outside the cafe are flowering at last, and our favourite - the fragrant and edible Pelargonium Graveolens - is making an appearance as a garnish for several of the Peppercorn Puddings.
We are delighted to welcome the delightful Toby Costelloe onto our staff (and hopefully as another apprentice). We count ourselves very lucky to attract such loyal, diligent, fun loving and honest staff - maybe we should post a staff photo onto our blog - what do you reckon?????
Last week we entered the world of preserving our own meat - we rubbed rose petal salt into a large piece of beef and then left it covered in the fridge to marinate for 4 days; we finished the process by washing off the salt and braising the meat gently for a few hours. We then pressed it for a couple of days and today we were rewarded with a delicious piece of home salted beef which we are slicing very thinly and serving in another of our Peppercorn salads.
By the way - if you haven't yet tried our new salads then you should get down here post haste; they're the most popular thing on our menu!
Oh yes- and a very Happy Birthday to Lisa!
