Week beginning March 23rd - Eastcastle Street and Great Titchfield Street Menus

Spring is officially here, though still feels like winter. The only indication of season change are the cherry blossom and the appearance of asparagus in the market. However the quality isn't quite ready to justify putting it on our menu. 

At Eastcastle Street this week we are inspired by a bit of Mexican street food. It's fresh, fragrant, comforting and warming, perfect for this in-between season. Expect to find pulled beef, meat and rice balls puffed up in a puréed tomatoes, avocado, coriander, mint, oregano, mole (a chilli and chocolate dressing), corn and red onions pickled in orange juice. 

Come in and check out our Mex week, there will also be daily twitter updates to lure you in for more than coffee.

Week beginning March 16th - Eastcastle Street & Great Titchfield Street Menus

This week marks the start and anniversary of many important events. Kaffeine officially has a new location after 5 years. One year ago this week my Grandmother died, if you’ve read any of my previous blogs you’ll know she’s the main drive behind my cooking. But it also marks the first anniversary of my double life in Paris. Which has become a newer drive behind my cooking.

In the past year you’ve seen menu items ranging from canelé, fragrant cheeses to the extensive use of calvados on Great Titchfield St menu.  These are all inspired by my wonderful weekends in France spending time with my talented boyfriend who works for Vetements. One of the hottest labels to come out of last weeks Paris fashion week thanks to the exposure of Kanye and his appearance during their runway show.

  

To mark this new anniversary we will be having a French themed menu ‘Excité’. Our breakfast brioche (Brioche made on site) will be filled with a baked egg, crème fraîche, chives and puréed potatoes mixed with Camembert cured in calvados (death by carbs).

We are now also making all our own breads including the sourdough and gluten-free range. This week’s baguette is filled with baby lobster mornay (classic fancy French cheese sauce), fresh carrot ribbons and frisee lettuce while our gluten free bagels are filled with the ingredients needed to make a ratatouille.

Lastly we’ll be serving a mini combinaison of savoury macaroons, two flavours tomato and basil. These can be eaten on their own or with a mixture of our French inspired salads.

At Great Titchfield Street, Khan has devised her own menu to with some of her own favourites, for this time of year, basing her men u on St Patricks day, including beef and Guiness Pie and whiskey marinated salmon in the main salad

Bon appétit

Week beginning March 9th - Eastcastle Street is open

This week we are very proud to announce that Kaffeine - the Second Store, has finally opened over on Eastcastle Street at number 15. After taking over the lease on January 5th, it has been a long and involved process, but we think it is all worth it, it looks amazing.

Chef Jared has moved over to the new store, with his long term second in charge Kein 'Carnage' Khan taking over the kitchen at the original store at Great Titchfield Street.

Below is the menu for Great Titchfield, all created by Khan as she brings her own influences and creativity to the menu. Chef Jared has his own menu at Eastcastle Street that will still be of the same concept but has some fantastic new additions and creations.

We hope you have the opportunity to try both menus, or at least to visit the new store and say hello and check it out, it will be a pleasure to see you.

Thank you for reading and see you soon.

Week beginning February 23rd - Kaffeine Classics

Last week was my final week as lead chef at Kaffeine GTS, after 5 and half years I sadly hung up my apron. However I've been so distracted with the arrangement for the new Kaffeine site that I haven't had time to reflect. I don't think the nostalgia will kick in for a month or 2? 

However I couldn't have picked a better week to leave on, our Chinese New Year themed menu was very popular and the demand for replenish platters of food was one of our busiest in years, so busy I forgot to eat my own lunch most days. 

Last week I also received a request from a customer asking for my Crispy Duck Hirata Bun recipe. So instead of being reflective on my time at Kaffeine GTS I shall instead share a recipe. Bear in mind there are several elements to this recipe and I recommend you read it twice. 

In the meantime you can find me cooking up a storm in Kaffeine newest venture on Eastcastle Street. For now I leave Kaffeine GTS in Lead chef Khan's creative hands.  

Hirata Buns:

800g plain flour

300g strong flour

1 tbsp dry active yeast

2 tbsp baking powder

100g sugar

1 tbsp salt

700ml water

100ml vegetable oil

20 10x10cm pieces of grease proof paper

Method:

Add all dumpling ingredients into a stand mixer with a kneading paddle attached, beat on low spead for 1 minute. Once roughly combined turn the speed up high and knead for 10 minutes, the dough should be silky and smooth when done. Cover the dough with clingfilm and leave to prove for 2 hours.

After 2 hours the dough should have tripled in size, turn the dough out on a floured surface and cut the dough into 20 even portions. Lightly knead each dough portion into small balls. 

On a lightly floured surface roll out each ball into 12cm in diameter rounds, then fold each round in half and place on a square piece of parchment paper. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls. Leave the uncooked hirata buns to prove in a warm place for 30 minutes. 

In a hot double steamer or bamboo baskets steam the buns for 10 minutes, they should be light and fluffy when finished. Press the top of the buns with a finger, if the surface springs back then they are cooked. 

Crispy duck filling:

1 large whole duck

100g knob of fresh ginger

4 peeled cloves garlic

8 black peppercorns

1 red chilli sliced in half lengthways

3 bay leaves

4 tbsp sea salt

1.5ltr vegetable oil

Method:

Place the duck, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, chilli, bay leaves and salt in a large pot with lid. Cover the duck with hot water until just covered, place the pot with lid attached over a high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling remove the lid and cook the duck for 25 minutes. Once cooked remove the duck and discard the liquid (the liquid can be kept frozen and used as a stock for soups and stews), leave the duck too cool for 2 hours. 

Once the duck has cooled place the vegetable oil in a large pot and put over a high heat for frying. The oil will take around 20 minutes to reach a good frying temperature. To test if the oil is ready, using the back of a wooden spoon dip the handle into the oil, if rapid bubbling appears around the wooden spoon handle then the oil is ready for frying. Using a sharp knife slice the whole duck in half lengthways, then carefully place one half of the duck in the hot oil. Fry the duck for around 4 minutes until dark and crispy on the outside. Using tongs carefully remove the duck from the oil and place on a baking tray, sprinkle the duck with a little extra sea salt. Repeat this process with the remaining half of the duck. Once the duck halves have cooled enough to touch with your hands shred the flesh from the bones.

Plum Sauce:

600g plums sliced in half and stone removed

1 red onion, peeled and sliced

4 crushed clover of garlic

100g grated fresh ginger

1 diced red chilli

2 peeled and sliced green apples

150g sugar

150ml lemonade

4 tbsp oyster sauce

4 tbsp dark soy sauce

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp cinnamon

Method:

Place all the ingredients in to a sauce pan and place over a medium heat. Bring the contents to a simmer, then turn the heat down to low and cook for 20 minutes. Once the plum sauce is cooked remove from the heat and place sauce in a blender, blend the sauce until smooth.

Constructing Crispy Duck Dumplings

2 cucumbers

150g washed foraged ramson leafs (optional)

Using a peeler, peel the skin and flesh of the cucumber making long ribbon strips, discard the seeds. 

Carefully slice open each steamed bun, leaving one end still attached. First fill each bun with some cucumber ribbons and optional ramson, then top with crispy duck and spoon over a generous amount of plum sauce. Serve straight away. 

Goodbye for now, see you at Kaffeine Eastcastle Street ion a week.

Week beginning February 16th - Chinese New Year Menu

Welcome to Chinese New Year week at Kaffeine, where newly appointed head chef Khan has come up with a new menu. Khan is from Burma and has a long history with Chinese food, her parents own and run a mostly Chinese food restaurant back in her native country. For Khan this time of year is like Christmas, New Years, birthday and bonfire night all rolled into one extravagant celebration. There will be dragons, red envelopes of cash, banquets of food, explosive night displays and the beginning of the year of the sheep.

Some of the highlights on this weeks menu include steamed bau buns filled with crispy duck, cucumber, plum sauce and garlicky foraged mini ramsons. Our bau buns will be made to a traditional method and left to prove before being steamed, which gives a fluffy, soft, white, almost sponge texture. The buns will then be filled with the as mentioned fillings, creating a balance of salty and sweet flavours. 

What would Chinese New Year be without BBQ pork, belly of pork cooked in a smoked marinade until it begins to fall apart. Then served on a salad of raw shredded julienne carrot, celery, red onion and foraged garlic mustard, which has a wasabi and cabbage flavour. Perfect healthy salad with a bit of naughty but tasty protein. 

Lastly no Chinese menu would be complete without chicken and corn soup, or in our case chowder. This soup has featured a few times on our menu and is a staff, friends and family favourite, more of a hearty meal than soup. Good enough to eat with a fork. 

So come in this week and enjoy the asian flavours with us, chopsticks not included.

Week beginning February 2nd - Waitangi Day

Tēnā koutou (a maori greeting for 3 or more people)

This Friday is Waitangi Day, you could say this is national New Zealand day. Waitangi day commemorates the signing of New Zealand's most important document Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi. In 1840 representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Māori chiefs signed what is often considered to be New Zealand’s founding document. The British Crown exchanged musket guns for Maori land. In the last 45 years this exchange has been seen as exploitation with local tribes and recently the government has been handing land back to the Maori people.

To mark the 175th anniversary of The Treaty of Waitangi we have come up with a New Zealand themed menu. Most notable is this weeks soup of Puha and pork, a traditional Maori broth made with pork and puha which is known as the edible weed Sow Thistle in the Untied Kingdom. Sow thistle has a cabbage and globe artichoke flavour, ideal for soups and pairing with pork. 

We'll also be bringing back New Zealand's famous Afgan biscuits and on Friday be serving mini pavlova's with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and kiwi.
