Spring dinner in pictures

April 12, 2010 7 Comments Filed Under: Uncategorized

Asparagus mimosa

It’s called mimosa as the sieved egg looks like the yellow and white mimosa flowers…

Gorgeous cheeses from Neals Yard including my favourite Childerwicksbury. Poilane bread is not as good as St John’s sour dough!

Candied Thyme

Dried laundry and glasses

Even washing up can look beautiful. One guest said “Your kitchen looks like a drawing”

Menu
Kir Royale
Focaccia shots filled with caperberries, olives, sunblush tomatoes
Asparagus mimosa garnished with viola flowers with garlic butter
Squid ink risotto with wild garlic and parmesan
Salad of pea shoots, mache and rocket with dijon mustard dressing
British and Italian cheeses with poilane bread, chutney from The House of Chutney, almonds and oatcakes
Bergamot, lime and amalfi lemon posset with candied Thyme
Douwe Egberts special cafetiere blend coffee

    You have a beautiful kitchen! And mimosa looks like a bunch of flowers and should easily be used as a decor!
