April Dinner - Share Plate Soiree

The menu for our next Gastronauts dinner will feature share plates, inspired by the food from Ottolenghi in London. Share plates are perfect for a supper club dinner, and here's an idea of what will be on the table:

fennel and feta with pomegranate and sumac

aubergine-wrapped gnocchi with sage butter

broccoli with tofu, sesame and coriander

okra with tomato and ginger

cauliflower and cumin fritters with lime yoghurt

mushrooms with cinnamon and lemon

----------

grilled mackerel with green olive salsa

beef and lamb meatballs in tahini

slow roasted belly pork

----------

caramel and macadamia cheesecake

lemon meringue pie



Kick off time for dinner will be 7pm. If you're interested in coming, let us know soon, because seats are disappearing very fast.

Hope to see you there!

Orange and radish salad

Chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives
Spiced lentils with pumpkin
Beef meatball tagine

Luckily Danielle from Digella Emporium was good enough to write a post about the evening (along with photos), which you can read here.

Hope to see you at the next dinner!
