Always a pleasure cooking for E, A and family and friends! I have cooked for them in an air BnB for a big birthday, I have done Cookery Classes with them, they have come to the Dessert Bar (I want to say twice?), and now what was supposed to be a Dinner Party Box. All they need to do is an afternoon tea then they might win the SALT Cø. Bingo!

Their daughter wants to be a Chef too, and I am all for getting people in to the hospitality industry (I can’t ever see myself not loving what I do, not sure I’ve mentioned this before).
Each time cooking for them has been a LOT of fun and today was exactly as expected!

Very much looking forward to doing this again!

Tonight’s Menu:

- SALT Cø, ‘Cornetto’.
- Twice Baked Cheddar Cheese Soufflé, Aerated Cheese Sauce, Toasted Seeds, Rosemary Oil.
- Palate Cleanser.
- SALT Cø. Signature Smoked Beef Wellington, Dauphinoise Potato, Persillade Dressing.
- Dark Chocolate Cremeaux, Cocoa Nibs, Chocolate Shortbread, Milk Chocolate Sauce.
- DOUGHNUTS!

And the British ability to deal with anything stronger than a gentle breeze strikes again.

The amazing Burnbake Forest Lodges and Campsite has been hit by a power cut so the dinner I was supposed to do there tonight has been postponed til tomorrow.

The Dinner Party Box that had been booked has been turned into Chef Christian going to cook for them instead. Having cooked for them before I am very much looking forward to it 🙂👨‍🍳

Stay safe Boys and Girls.

First time cooking for my Guinea Pigs with more than 4 of them. I was nervous, but thankfully Sous Chef Lily was there to do all the hard work. So all round, all good. And everyone loved it!

Head plant moment of the day: One of the salts we put on the table is a Smoked Hay Salt (it is delicious). There was a guest who had previously been to Equestrian College and his question was, straight away, “What is Hay?” He most likely misheard what I said, but everyone laughed. (And yes, it is the hay used for feeding horses)…Anyway, another great evening cooking for my Guinea Pigs. I am pleased we were able to show them we can cook for more than 4 people at a time.

Tonight’s Menu:

- Crispy Bacon Taco.
- Roasted Carrot Soup, Carrot Brunoise, Chive Oil.
- Salmon Rillette Tart, Squid Ink Pastry, Lemon Infused Cucumber, Cucumber Skin ‘Seaweed’, Lemon Vinegar Dressing. (First time in 6 years cooking fish for C&D (Guinea Pigs)).
- Palate Cleanser.
- SALT Cø. ‘Tur-Duck-en’: Turkey Leg and Tomato Ragu, Chicken Thigh Terrine, Pan Roasted Smoked Duck Breast, Brussel Sprouts cooked in Smoked Butter.
- SALT Cø. Chocolate ‘Roulette’…obviously C got a Brussel Sprout one 🤣
- SALT Cø Chocolate Trifle.

ASK THE CHEF!

(OMG…I’m really not sure I should be doing this…but I’ve started, so let’s continue).

This is something I do when I’m doing talks and cookery demos…as I don’t have any more booked for the rest of the year. Let’s give it a go as a video.

So, Sunday evening I will do a little video answering any cookery (or otherwise) questions you may have.

So, are you wondering about the best way to cook X (no, not your ex. My human butchery m/ cookery skills are quite limited at this stage). Pop your question in the comments or DM or WhatsApp them to me directly and I will answer…

Awaiting your questions in equal parts excitement and trepidation.

Let’s do this!

This was so much fun!

Here at the SALT Cø. Chef’s Table and Dessert Bar we are ALREADY getting repeat business! I love my job!

I cooked for S and a group of friends a few weeks ago and she enjoyed it so much (one of her friends that time didn’t eat anything 🤷), that she brought hubby and other friends for another Dessert Bar Experience. They were great fun last time and once again this time (and everyone ate everything, apart from one person not wanting the Magnum).

Very much looking forward to cooking for you all again!

Next Wednesday and the Wednesday after that we are doing this special Christmas Dessert Menu:

- SALT Cø. Cambazola ‘Magnum’.
- Chocolate Soufflé.
- Chocolate Roulette.
- Risalmande: Scandi Rice Pudding.
- Black Forest Roulade.
- Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Flambé.
- SALT Cø. Mince Pies.

Still space next Wednesday, but the Wednesday after that is already sold out!

Did you wake up this morning craving something sweet? Let us remedy this (you will have to wait until this evening though).

A special 6 course Christmas Dessert Tasting Menu will be served this evening at The SALT Cø. Dessert Bar here at SALT Cø. HQ in sunny Upton.

Worried it might be all too sweet? We plan these menus so it is not just a big sugar hit which you will crash from an hour after leaving.

£35 per person and we have space for 4 more for this evening.

Cane make it this evening? We are doing this menu next Wednesday AND the Wednesday after that (but the 18th is ALREADY fully booked).

Another fun evening cooking for A&R and family. I’m going to start calling them ‘The Lytchett Gang”. There is a group of friends who I got introduced to via my Guinea Pigs. Cooking for each of them separately and also as a group is always fun…

Tonight was A&R and a separate group. A’s Mum’s big birthday and family get together.

When discussing the menu with A’s Mum she told me she had cooked for X Royal family member, Y royal family member, X Celebrity, Y Celebrity. When I told my team, no one dared cook for her, so I had to actually do some work on my own this evening. ( ).

It was fun cooking for them all again. Very much looking forward to next time.

Tonight’s menu:

- Crab Taco; Raw Apple, Creme Fraiche.
- Venison Croquettes, Rosemary Mayonnaise, Beetroot Dressing.
- Pan Fried Local Bass, Pickled Fennel, Carrot Brunoise, Chive Oil.
- Palate Cleanser.
- Pan Roasted Smoked Duck Breast, Dauphinoise Potato, Carrot Apple and Beetroot Dressing.
- Dark Chocolate Cremeaux, Cocoa Nibs, Brown Sugar Meringue, Freeze Dried Raspberries, Toasted Seeds.
- Petit Fours.

A busy day at the office today, both a Cookery Class AND a 7 course dinner!

I am going to sleep very well. Will do a separate post about the dinner.

The SALT Cø. 10 Ways with Chicken class is the second most popular one we do (after the Chocolate one, surprisingly enough). I really enjoy doing it!

A fun all female contingent of a family. Lots of laughing and learning how to do lots with chicken!

We went through:

- White Chicken Stock.
- Brown Chicken Stock.
- Chicken and Tomato Sauce.
- Lemon and Garlic Chicken Legs.
- Pan Roasted Chicken Breast.
- Risotto, using the white chicken stock to cook
- Chicken Wings.
- French Trimming Chicken Breast.
- How to Roast a Chicken Properly.
- How to break a chicken down.

Lots of fun!
