Trinity Kitchen Table

If you haven’t experienced the kitchen table at Trinity yet, it seats 8 to 12 people and offers a private dining experience within the restaurant with full visibility into the kitchen. This feature has been a popular addition to the restaurant with parties experiencing bespoke tasting menus and enjoying interaction with the kitchen.

The Kitchen Table has no hire fee and is great for both lunch and dinner, formal and informal gatherings.

What's great to buy and eat in May

Asparagus
English Asparagus!! This year’s crop has been early due to the warmer evenings and is fantastic. English asparagus is in abundance now but benefits from a short season lasting only one month, well worth getting your hands on. Great with chicken, fish and shellfish. These bright green stems are great boiled or char grilled. We will be serving asparagus hot with Hollandaise sauce and cold with vinaigrette for the next month.

Morels
This years new season Morels are hard to find but a kitchen must have. Paired with a crisp fried duck egg or simply sweated down as a great garnish for roast chicken or guinea fowl. They are a short season May highlight.

Kitchen Essentials:
Three more must have basic kitchen ingredients

1. Forvum Cabernet Sauvignon Vinegar; it’s available in most supermarkets and delicatessens, a condiment used by most chefs I know. It is a wonderful alternative with sweeter qualities than white wine vinegar and more robust in flavour…..also great drizzled over chips!

2. The dark rich qualities of Moscavalo Sugar are an essential for any kitchen, with its multitude of uses. It makes wonderful caramel, is great with strawberries in the upcoming season and gives a dark rich texture to most baked products. We use Billingtons unrefined as the pure flavour is delicious.

3. Star Anise is overlooked by most people and is widely available. This is a wonderful spice that we use in many guises to introduce a liquorice/fennel flavour into carrots, braised beef and when poaching fish or cooking shellfish, this gives maximum flavour at really good value.

Vine Tomato and Lime Consommé

Method
1 Chop the tomatoes roughly, grate and squeeze the limes, roughly chop the basil and add the sugar, salt and olive oil. Leave this to marinade for at least three hours.

Blend all of this in a jug blender and pass through a fine sieve. This is now ready to be served; chilled as a consommé or add 6 leaves of gelatine per litre to form a jelly. Alternatively this makes a wonderful sorbet for the more adventurous cooks out there.

   

Ingredients
 
10 red as possible tomatoes still on the vine
2 limes
½ bunch of basil
10g salt
5g sugar
20ml of good olive oil
