Week beginning July 13th - Summer, it's not over yet

This week there seems to be a summer dip, Wimbledon has ended, Greece has sent Europe into crisis and the sun has taken a vacation from this part of the world. However we do have the Ashes test match to look forward to, England vs. Australia. I will admit my cricket knowledge is embarrassingly limited. More shameful as Kaffeine has 2 coffee sites at Lords whenever a match is on. Even more embarrassing my dad used to host motivational speaking seminars with an ex-New Zealand cricket captain. At this stage in my life I should be a tailored pants wearing expert in wickets and bats. 

Perhaps this week I shall revive my summer with The Barmy Army and become better aquatinted. In the meantime Khan, the kitchen team and myself shall be keeping the summer alive with all our sunny seasonal produce and baked goods.

At Eastcastle Street I'm still working on the cookbook and tweaking recipes for domestic purposes. Its been a while but our polenta with pancetta, burnt pineapple and blue cheese sauce is back on the menu. I intend to log this recipe in the breakfast section of the book as it make a refreshing change to a full english. However this dish is just as relevant served at lunch, sunshine on a plate; or in a takeaway box. 

Khan is bringing the UV rays to the Great Titchfield Street display with a filled filo basket of grilled halloumi, vegetables and tomato chutney. Complimented by a selection of salads from herb polenta crumbed chicken, cherry tomato, avocado, red onion, spicy lemon dressing, gem lettuce to poached pear, blueberry, blue cheese, candied walnut, pomegranate molasses dressing. 

All this will be great served with our new cold brew Kenyan coffee from Notes Roastery. The flavour notes are of course subjective, I've been told its blackcurrant and plum. However I got a strong hit of peach and its definitely the best cold brew in town.
