A completely bespoke vegetarian menu 🌿
Created for a private dinner here in the Dordogne, with one important brief — the entire menu was to be **vegetarian and completely gluten-free**.
I designed the evening around beautiful seasonal produce, sourcing locally wherever possible and creating a menu where nothing felt like a compromise.
✨ **Canapés**
Oyster mushroom mousse, herb oil & chives
Quail’s egg, cucumber & lemon-chive crème fraîche
Crispy tofu with honey & smoked paprika
🌿 **Starter**
Charred courgette, roasted figs, whipped feta, pickled cauliflower & red onion, baby leaves and a light honey & sherry vinegar dressing
🍆 **Main**
Pressed aubergine with mushrooms, crispy potato rösti, tomato confit, sugar nap peas, roasted tomato jus & basil oil
🧀 **Artisan cheese board**
A selection of cheeses with grapes, walnuts, fruit & preserves
🍮 **Dessert**
Vanilla crème brûlée with Armagnac roasted mirabelle plums
A lovely example of why I enjoy creating bespoke menus — working with a client’s preferences and dietary requirements while making the most of what’s in season.
