Giraffe World Menu – Taking me back to Turkey

December 2, 2016 by Fiona Maclean Leave a Comment

Tasting the new Giraffe World Menu: Travelling to Istanbul, Turkey for 24 hours to check out the food was a wonderful experience. The invitation, from Giraffe, was to explore some of the street and cafe dishes and then visit a local Giraffe restaurant to see how the new World Menu took some of those ideas […]

Taste of London 2018
This year for me it’s been all about MasterClasses (though there’s plenty more to see at this year’s festival which runs from 13th-17th June)
Starting with Champagne Laurent-Perrier who collaborated with Indie Ecology and IKOYI to serve us up a fabulous taster of Octopus, Jollof Rice and Cured Prawns and then Tomato ice cream with hay rice mousse all while telling us more about the sustainable practices followed by Laurent-Perrier. They celebrate their 50th anniversary of Cuvee Rose this year so of course, we sipped glasses of this lovely 100% pinot noir. Lightness, Freshness and Elegance were the flavour notes we were looking for!
Then, Celebrity Cruises who have turned their stand over to a preview of the newest ship, Celebrity Edge. I was lucky enough to enjoy a taster of the food which will be offered on board - with wines paired by Amelia Singer. And I got to meet Michelin starred chef Cornelius Gallagher and Chef Rodolphe Sicard who served up a wonderful menu of Alsatian Potato and Gruyere Tart followed by Lavender Roasted Salmon.
If you are planning to go to Taste London this year, make sure you don’t miss the Masterclasses!
