I have lost track of the amount of times I’ve cooked for N and his wife C…today though it was N on his own entertaining some business clients…this has the potential of being not such an interesting one…

That said, it was a great dinner! As always, it was a lot of fun cooking for N’s clan. He seems to have a knack of surrounding himself with decent humans. (The Boss and I were very kindly invited to N&C’s wedding, as guests(!) and that statement was just amplified). Very much looking forward to next time!

Last night’s Menu:

- SALT Cø. ‘Cornetto’.
- Twice Baked Smoked Goat’s Cheese Souffke, Aerated Cheese Sauce, Toasted Seeds, Rocket Oil.
- Smoked Lobster Tail, Tomato and Red Peoper Pepperonata, Toasted Pine Nuts.
- Palate Cleanser.
- Pan Roasted Smoked Duck Breast, Garlic Confit Jersey Royal Potato, Tomato and Chive Dressing, Duck Jus.
- Brown Sugar Tart, Vanilla Pastry, Smoked Honey Honeycombe, Fresh Raspberry, Frozen Raspberry.
- Petit Fours.

When are we cooking for you?

Another splendid Afternoon Tea dining experience here at SALT Cø. Chef’s Table today.

One of the couples who joined today, A&M, we worked out I’ve cooked for them 4 times in the last 6 months! (There is repeat business, then this is verging on light stalking…however, I am very happy to be stalked by them as it is ALWAYS a pleasure to cook for and spend time with them).

This was the third time A&M have had our Afternoon Teas (one take away and twice at our Chef’s Table so I changed the menu up a bit for them:

- Feta, Chive and Tomato Roulade.
- Confit Chicken Terrine, Piccalilli.
- Summer Vegetable (Ratatouille) Tart.
- Smoked Salmon Choux Bun.

- Tomato Tart Tatin, Balsamic Caramel.

- ‘Claridges’ Scone, Jam, Clotted Cream.

- Dark Chocolate Cremeaux, Cocoa Butter Shell.
- ‘Strawberries and Cream’ Strawberry Bavarois, Roasted White Chocolate, Fresh Strawberry, Strawberry Glaze, The Ritz Shortbread.
- Carrot Cake, Creme Fraiche Icing.

Still space on next Saturday’s Afternoon Tea…

What a weekend! And still not over!

Big prep day followed by canapés for 75, followed by food demo at swanagefishandfoodfest, followed by 7 course tasting menu followed by Afternoon teas, followed by 7 course tasting menu, followed by ANOTHER 7 course tasting menu. Followed by yet another 7 course tasting menu…

I’d say I’m looking forward to sleeping, which I am, but The Boss and I have a 12 week old Baby Boy.…

Tonight’s dinner was a fun one, cooking for a friendly family out in Brockenhurst. They made the “mistake” of asking me about stories from cooking in people’s homes before they’d had their first bite to eat…And as you are all aware, I like to talk. And do it a lot! Even after talking non stop for an hour at the festival…Thankfully Chef Marnie/ Margret was there to get everything set up, so the delay on food wasn’t too bad…

: eat a couple of courses before asking me to regale SALT Cø. Adventures 🤣

They loved it all though 😎👨‍🍳

Last night’s Menu:

- SALT Cø. ‘Cornetto’.
- Tomato Tart Tatin, Balsamic Caramel, Basil Emulsion.
- Pan Fried Crispy Skinned Bass, Petit Ratatouille, Parsley Oil,
- Palate Cleanser.

How would you like to be on Poole’s version of Below Deck?

(Apart from the fact the crew aren’t sleeping together, the chefs actually know what they are doing, and from experience so far, the guests do share more than one braincell between the lot of them…so what I’m saying really is that it is nothing like Below Deck, which can only be a good thing.

THE FIRST SUNSET CATAMARAN CRUISE OF 2025 is this Thursday!

Come along and see why these cruises are one of my favourite things we do!

£135 per person

The price includes:
