Thursday 24 September
Head Chef Dean Carroll will host a special evening Rutland Food & Drink Week Cookery Demonstration, showcasing seasonal ingredients from the kitchen garden and the wider local area.
The three-course menu begins with paddock tomato salad with whipped feta, pickled shallot and basil. Dean will then prepare beef short rib with paddock-grown cabbage, sour cream, crispy onion, smoked wholegrain mustard mayonnaise and Lincolnshire Poacher. To finish, there’s a Clipsham garden plum and almond frangipane tart with crème fraîche ice cream.
The demo begins at 6pm with coffee before Dean demonstrates this specially chosen seasonal menu. Afterwards, sit down with the other guests and enjoy the same three-course meal you’ve just watched being prepared. Food is served at around 8pm with a complimentary glass of wine.
Throughout the demonstration, Dean shares practical hints and tips on preparation, cooking and presentation. Guests also leave with copies of the recipes for the featured dishes, ready to try at home.
