With Summer nearly upon us our minds turn to the fruits of the season. Whilst the vegetable patch is still bursting with fine things like asparagus, aubergines, broad beans, courgettes and spinach it’s the fruit that are fighting for our attention.
Early strawberries (it’s not quite Wimbledon yet!), peaches (why not try a Bellini with your breakfast?) and the most English of all fruits, the gooseberry are ripening fast and ready for picking.
The growing season is well underway and June is the time when the hard work begins to pay off for the gardener and at FARE we are always looking to serve you food at its bountiful best and in harmony with the natural way of the world.
FARE.FOOD
Caramelised White Chocolate Mousse, Gooseberries & Fennel Seed Ice Cream.
This is a cracker of a dessert. The white chocolate is roasted in the oven to release lots of nutty flavours. It’s reset then melted into a custard and whipped to a smooth mousse. This is served with beautiful slices of gooseberry which have been sweetened in syrup. Finally, the dessert is finished with a little toasted fennel seed-infused ice cream.
Pure indulgence!
FARE.DRINK
Our icon of the month is
Dry Red No.2 from the Yarra Yerring winery. This is one of the oldest and most beautiful vineyards in the Yarra Valley, Australia. Now under the stewardship of Sarah Crowe, Yarra Yerring has been producing Dry Red No.2 since 1973. This is a 96-point wine with flavours of strawberry, violet, and black cherry. Finishing with earthy spices and gentle tannins.
It is very special so we expect it to go fast!
The Wine List
The team are passionate about their wine. We specialise in small producers who make their wines with low intervention methods, often organically and with sustainability in mind. Many use biodynamic methods to create small volumes which we love to share with you. Keep an eye out for our icon wines. These are wines of which we have only a few cases, so once they are gone… they are gone.
