Last week Peter, Claire and I sat down for a constructive meeting regarding the display at Eastcastle Street. Though the food is being well received there is always room for improvements. I call this evolution. One of the major issues is everything is looking a bit too brown, especially now that we brand half our food items with brown paper and string. The simple solution is to change the colour of the paper to white, easily done. We've also revamped several of our fixtures for better contrast of colour. Such as our breakfast brioche which was predominately made up of white and brown forms of carbs and protein. Now the brioche is made with red smoked paprika, with grilled courgette, red onion, baked egg, calvados mash and a very herby crème fraiche, loads of colour, flavour and contrast; and now becoming more popular at Eastcastle Street.
This weeks menu theme at Eastcastle Street is 'rainbow' out with the brown and in with a bow. Expect to see a clash of colours to rival any display, from a salad made with grilled prawns, mango, pickled mayer lemons with chilli, avocado, red onion and coriander roasted cashew nuts, to a gratin tart made with new potatoes and sweet corn and topped with avocado and herb salsa. Based on my 83 year old granddads recipe, this gratin has made him quite popular among the other widows in his walking group.
Down at Great Titchfield street chef Khan has also devised a vibrant colourful menu with loads of spring produce. Making a salad of mixed coloured rainbow radishes with green beans, goats cheese, and black sesame seeds. From classic french influences to indian heat khan is also making a tandoori chicken salad, super tasty and incredibly fresh. Lastly I must mention the blueberry and bran muffins are back at GTS, my all time favourite muffin variety.
So come into our cafe's this week and sample this weeks rainbow complimented with a coffee of your choice.
