| BOLLITO MISTO |
|
This is a really fantastic meal. A classic for this time of year. Loads of amazing different cuts of meat, each with its own sauce, slowly boiled. A very significant and important dish, and best served in a supperclub format rather than a restaurant as it can be made and then eaten straight away. I'll make a few other delicious things either side of the bollito.
Pretty confident we'll have a wine list by this meal so you can choose some great and suitable drinks from the list for £15-£50 per bottle. |

| COCONUTS AND CURRY LEAVES |

I love Keralan food. After good few visits and quite a few lessons i feel i have got a good handle on it. I love to eat something exotic and interesing before we are force fed loads of roast dinners.
As always with my cooking i try not to buy too much produce from too far away. There are always some substitutions but the spirit of the meal, and indeed the coconuts and curry leaves will be Southern Indian. The meal will be vegetarian as i will be trying to recreate a really fantastic meal I had in a temple not far from kochi. It was really interesting to eat the same dishes I had been eating in the hotels but cooked with a lot more soul.
Pretty confident we'll have a wine list by this meal so you can choose some great and suitable drinks from the list for £15-£50 per bottle. |

I have always wanted to go to Kashmir, every time I am in India I get told it is too dangerous.
However I have a few great books and feel I have been to the North of india enough to imagine. I think I will use some of the ingredients we have in common with the Kashmiri people, game birds, wild mushrooms. Spiced with wild black cumin and mountain honey. I'm going to make yoghurt and research all the other things i should make and find. I'm really looking forward to cooking some of the elegant sophisticated food of what many people say is the most beautiful place in the world.

I think its great to be cooking provencal food in the autumn, we all think of tomatoes and green beans when we think of povence but actually much of the delicious food in the south of france is to be found in the autumn. Bulbs of fennel, wild mushrooms and delicious farmed rabbits are on the menu. I have a few red mullet for those not excited about the rabbit.
I have a great cook book recently given to me called At Lulus Table, its by Richard Olney and is all about the cooking of Lulu in Domaine Tempier in Bandol (an excellent wine you can by in Lea and Sandemans). I'll be cooking from this book amongst others and I'm sure it'll be a warming Autumnal feast.

| THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE DOCKS |
|
This Thursday at The Dock Kitchen we will be holding another supper club. We're not exactly sure what well be cooking but there are loads of delicious english porcini around and it would be a shame not to cook with them. If we had a little more time we would be out picking them ourselves, unfortunately we are very busy so our connections in the Polish Mushroom Picking Community will hopefully not let us down (though they do cost a pretty penny).
The sea bass is good enough for raw and the grouse is still tasting excellent, I've just bought a big box of violini squash from the market in milan so I imagine they'll probably make an appearance too.
As always these meals are set, we do have some flexibility but only really with advance notice.
The food will be £35 and we have chosen some wines that you can have for free (we don't have a license- but will ask for a donation)
