A French-Japanese Fusion Dinner That Had Every Plate Returned Empty

20/06/2026

Last night … a beautiful dinner party with a unique and delicious theme … A refined Japanese–French fusion.
Guests enjoyed buckwheat blini with cured salmon and finger lime;
Hiramasa kingfish crudo with yuzu kosho and pickled cucumbers & daikon;
Duck breast with sake-soy jus, parsnips puree, duck fat potatoes, roasted shiitake and sautéed green veg;
A refreshing green apple and shiso palate cleanser;
and fir dessert, a matcha crème brûlée with black sesame tuile.
Highly recommended dinner party menu!

Freshly baked sourdough focaccia, handmade with organic ingredients and filled with the good stuff.

One is layered with creamy stracciatella, mortadella, cucumber, fresh greens and a sprinkle of pistachio for a soft, savoury, beautifully balanced bite.

The other is packed with roasted red peppers, marinated grilled eggplant, mushrooms and peppery rocket. This one’s rich, vibrant and full of Mediterranean flavour.

Which one would you reach for first?

For those guests who prefer a little vanilla panna cotta, finished with glossy berry sauce and fresh mint for dessert. Because not everyone loves Creme brûlée?!?

Simple, silky, and quietly elegant (sounds like Creme brûlée to me) … the kind of dessert that feels light at the end of a beautiful meal, but still leaves a lasting impression.

Made tonight as part of a private dining menu by Knives N’ Roses.

Sourdough Rye … this may be my new favourite! The aroma & multi-levels of flavour are second to none! Amazing as is, with EVOO, sweet or savoury 👌

A little throwback to the glazed octopus we made in what felt like endless batches at Anchor… one of those dishes that stays with you.

There’s something about this time of year that brings it all back. As Fremantle octopus comes to the end of its peak, the flavour is just beautiful, tender, rich, and deeply of the ocean.

Simple, thoughtful cooking, letting the ingredient do the talking.

Some dishes aren’t just recipes… they’re memories!

Autumn cauliflowers … gorgeous marinated with fragrant ras el hanout, oven roasted & served with tangy tahini and pomegranate jewels 😊

Another elegant, delicious starter for an Autumn meal! Fresh pesto, burrata & a drizzle of chili oil.
Definitely a favourite! ❤️
