a trip to paros, during some slightly sunnier days earlier this summer.

the cycladics remain a constant source of inspiration. sun-dried mackerel and octopus basking in the summer heat. this slow process naturally draws out their moisture thus deepening their flavour, which also makes for better grilling / searing given a drier flesh. an ancient preservation method [ pre-refrigeration ] now a key ingredient in how best to cook. in the case of octopus, also tenderising as the tissues relax in the gentle breeze and warm sun.

if only london winters could provide such optimal conditions…

newest addition to the menu: carlingford oyster, jalapeño granita. as refreshing as it is fiery.

farmed in carlingford lough [ a glacial fjord on the irish border ] where cold mountain freshwater meets the irish sea. known for their sweet flavour and delicate brine.

shucked to order. served with a vibrant jalapeño granita. this one packs a punch.

mizithra. a soft soured sheep cheese hailing from crete. one with no less than five applications on our menu.

in our greek salata, the creamy / ricotta like texture gives to the acidity of the tomato and cucumber juices, emulsifying with the olive oil into a dressing of sorts. tart and saline in equal measure.

filmed on trip to manousos tsitsiridis in sfakia, crete where we learned about the production.

isle of mull scallop, xo chilli butter.

hand-dived from the west coast of scotland, these scallops arrive alive first thing daily. freshly shucked each morning and grilled to order. favoured for their meatiness and sweetness, we serve with an umami laden xo chili butter to cut their richness.
