Our June Feast
You may have noticed Luke cooked at the Spring Classic Festival this weekend, which featured the most amazing Fire Kitchen set up overlooking the Woolacombe bay (see above). He was asked to join the pro surfing competition (ho ho) but instead did an amazing steak masterclass, followed by a feast of Dalwood asparagus and low and slow ex-dairy beef short ribs, with Devon smashed potatoes and a burnt courgette, anchovy and and charred pepper salsa. For more pics (including Luke’s first ever time doing silent disco) check out our Instagram.
Back at High Grange, at last the garden is bursting into life - the veggie patch is literally bursting at the seams - making menu writing even more exciting and definitely my favourite job of the week. For our June feast we still have our incredibly local asparagus (we’ll have HG asparagus next year!) but also, sweet baby carrots and peas…. with whipped ricotta- early summer in a plate.
And the guys at Lyme Bay fish shack are pulling out some whopping brill at the moment so we’ll have that- roasted whole over embers and served with an intense squid-ink and shellfish stock rice. Then I always try to sneak in some spice so pork collar, smoked overnight with an aromatic curry sauce if lime, chilli, coriander and peanuts. Maybe a seared scallop too…
And at last! The gooseberries are coming through- my favourite… a creamy parfait, chewy meringue…. Perfection.
