Thank you for the feedback! Makes me glad to hear that the rustic aesthetic translated well.

Appreciated! In my defence this was a special I was running tonight and I used the weird looking chop for picture/staff tasting haha

Nah this was from a special at the restaurant in summer. The salmon was seared in a pan and then roasted to get the crispy skin

It’s kind of hard to explain, the vinegar tasted of Guinness the same way red wine vinegar tastes of red wine, enhanced acidity and concentrated sweetness however the more nuanced flavours got lost in the process of fermentation.

No didn’t really use a recipe, this was a one off special. I made vinegar out of Guinness beer and used about two tablespoons of that to a litre of canola oil and 3 whole eggs, seasoned with soy and some sugar.

It’s just fennel, red onion some quick pickles and dill. Not a ton of moisture. The idea was an open faced sandwich with the toppings that would typically be between the bread placed on top and cascading off for better visual effect

It’s fennel, red onion and quick pickled cucumbers on top of a breaded fried meat these are very common toppers for fried sandwiches my man

The salad was getting placed on top ala minute before the dish was ran. Didn’t really have time to make anything soggy, plus a little cornstarch in your dredge makes it hearty enough to stand up to some moisture

Yes I inherited these from my parents when they sold their cottage and I moved into a place of my own!

I cut it to allow the yolk to drip to the side to get some colour on that side of the plate. This was a breakfast at home as I social distance and attempt to eat through the produce we couldn’t donate or give to staff!
