Week beginning July 20th - Stone fruits are in season

In terms of weather I would have considered last week a bit blah, maybe it was something to do with Murray not making it to the grand final. Apart from Monday this week the outlook seems like a positive start to school holidays, continuation of summer and the fact stone fruit are at there bi-yearly best. As I've mentioned in previous years and I'm still unsure of the science, stone fruit grow to their peak every second year. 

Luckily this is the bi-year where stone fruit is plentiful and at its ripest. At Eastcastle Street I've dedicated our menu to stone fruit. Starting with wild cherries foraged from Kent, sweet and juicy these cherries are wonderful. We will be incorporating them into a salad with salty, bitter and creamy flavours to off set the sweetness of the cherries. 

We'll also be creating something a bit new, a whole peach with the centre removed and stuffed with burrata cheese, then wrapped in ham and crumbed and lightly fried. Our stuffed peaches are then served with a lime and ginger mayonnaise. 

Over at Great Titchfield Street chef Khan has summer on a plate, perhaps my favourite is her fruit and nut salad with roasted lamb, quinoa and cucumber yoghurt dressing. Then there is her super healthy salty and sour salad of grilled courgette salad with green beans, capers, feta, lemon and mint. 

   

Hopefully our menus align with the forecast and we can keep your summer rolling.
