Dear Customer,

Welcome to the June Trinity Newsletter.

It feels only right to celebrate the English Summer and what better way to do it than with great food and wine!

This month we bring you a celebration of summer with a really easy Cherry Pavlova recipe, more great kitchen essentials and the latest news from Trinity Restaurant.

Food wise, June brings us long awaited fresh English peas, the start of succulent peaches (look for the squat or white varieties - both are great!) and expect cherries towards the end of the month. The first crop of English raspberries and strawberries should appear toward the middle of the month (look for outdoor grown for a fuller flavour)

An exciting month for Trinity, this month sees us hold a charity BBQ for the local Trinity Church,  line up against the finest restaurants London has to offer at
‘The Taste of London Festival’ in Regents Park – see www.tasteoflondon.co.uk - and we hold our first long awaited MasterClass!

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Summer Sundays

Sundays at Trinity are a joy and represent everything great about living and dining out in local London; a classic Sunday lunch with all the trimmings enjoyed with great wine in a relaxed atmosphere.

The menu changes weekly and represents everything Sundays should. Although the roast aged Fore Rib will remain throughout the summer, some lighter options will be included. Puddings remain familiar, classic and truly Sunday! A £25 three course set lunch in a setting where children, as always, are well catered for and most welcome.

The Trinity team

The team at Trinity has given me an outstanding 25yrs of collective service; here are a few of the guys that make it happen. Some of the faces you may recognise from Thyme or more recently from your visits to Trinity.

The team recently visited our shellfish supplier to see some of the amazing products they have available during summer. A great experience for all with live spider crabs and pulsating razor clams making the biggest impact..

Joe has worked with me for four years and is the Head Chef at Trinity, a South London lad with bundles of talent and an amazing eye for detail.

Jessica handles the phones and reservation book and also ensures things run as they should. Aussie charm and a smile to calm a soul!

Jamie is the Sous Chef at Trinity and has worked in the kitchen with me since Thyme first opened in Clapham. Jamie is a self proclaimed foodie, makes an outstanding curry and his pastimes include eating out and eating out.

The new menu

Due to the great weather in April and the availability of new season produce, we began the early summer menu in late May and are enjoying cooking with wonderful English line caught John Dory, new season lamb and succulent Cornish crab.

The menu has a new look tasting menu with an optional two course for those wishing to experience all. Some great ingredients that read like spring but have a real feel of the upcoming summer.

Essential kitchen ingredients

'00' flour
It’s the finest variety used for making all things Italian, gnocchi, pasta, even great for pizza bases. It contains great quantities of gluten and is a great larder essential. We use “Grand Mugnaio” Which can be brought at most good supermarkets. (blue and white stripped bag)

Maldon sea salt
I am a big fan and use only this at home because it’s better for the family than standard table salt and if its from Essex it must be good..! A great product with real flavor, on the back of roast pork it retains its texture and is one of the secrets to great crackling!

Fresh yeast
If your supermarket makes its own bread or you have a local baker try and buy 200g or so of fresh yeast from them, make 50g parcels in tin foil and freeze them. It simply outshines dried yeast and is great to have on hand for those days when only fresh bread will do.

Next month we will be featuring a foolproof bread recipe.

June 07  

Cherry Pavlova
Serves 4

Method

1. Remove the stone from half the cherries and place them in a tray with half the icing sugar. Place the tray in a low oven at 150c for 40 minutes.

2. Once the cherries are soft strain the juice and add the two leaves of gelatine to this. Blend the remaining pulp in a blender until smooth and retain.

3. Whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk (add two drops of lemon juice and ensure your bowl is clean!) once the whites have thickened add the remaining icing sugar and continue to whisk until the mix is firm. Place this mix on a tray and drop it into the oven at 200c. As soon as you shut the door turn the oven off and leave it. (This is best done last thing at night and is ready when you wake up).

4. I plate the pudding in individual portions as you can see in the image but basically just layer the crisp but chewy meringue with the clotted cream, the cherry jelly and the cherry puree as alternatively as you like, decorate with the fresh cherries and dust the whole thing with icing sugar.

5. As a tip the cherry puree can be added to a bought in vanilla ice cream to make cherry ripple ice cream!

   

Ingredients
500g fresh English cherries (should be mid to late June)
4 egg whites
200g clotted cream
50g icing sugar
2 leaves of gelatine
