Week beginning June 29th - Lead Chefs on holiday, 2nd chefs take over

This week is slightly different and somewhat exciting menu at Eastcastle Street, the menu is brought to you by Flavio our colourful and passionate chef. Flavio is originally from Brazil, he loves football, socialising and singing his own lyrics to the songs on the radio. He makes mine and chef Win’s day a lot more entertaining and this week he will entertain your taste buds while I'm away. 

Like myself Flavio has also signed up to the gym to focus on strength and muscle build (we're both skinny rakes). His menu has a summer vibe boasting colours, health, protein, complex carbohydrates and fits with Kaffeine’s weekday vibe.

Over at Great Titchfield Street chef Khan is handing over the reins to chef Silvio while she spends the week eating strawberries and cream at Wimbledon. Silvio is also from a Latino background. Moving here from Ecuador in the mid nineties he meet his wife and created a happy family, one son and two daughters. Silvio has worked at Kaffeine for 4 years and is an institution within our structure. This week he'll be serving some of Kaffeine's staples with a twist of his own flair. The wild mushroom and pesto quiche is most exciting. 

Come into our stores this week where summer got more excited about summer.

Week beginning June 22nd - Summer favourites

As I was saying last week Kaffeine is to get its very own cookbook, this means there will be some best of items from over the last 6 years featuring on our weekly menus. This is so I can tweak and foolproof the recipes in a written form. So expect to see some familiar wonders making a comeback. 

On this weeks menu at Eastcastle Street we are getting into a summer vibe. First up is a salmon salad; the salmon has been baked in manuka honey, which is a very special honey from my part of the world New Zealand. Manuka has been famed for being an alternative medicine, used for its antibacterial properties and healing of burns, cuts and rashes. Manuka honey has a distinctive flavour too earthy, oily, herbaceous, florid and rich. Our New Zealand flavoured salmon will be served complimented with new potatoes, roasted beetroot, mint yoghurt and foraged sorrel and watercress.

Making a return is my favourite salad from this year, it comes from our Burmese inspired menu. Roasted chickpeas and peanuts with a dressing made from pickled green tea leaf. The teas leafs are boiled three times to remove the bitterness and pickled in salt and spices and pureed. The result is like a very complex spinach flavour, deep, tasty and cleansing. 

Down the road at Great Titchfield Street chef Khan has once again been raiding my mind with her telepathy powers. She too has made a salad with salmon, new potatoes and watercress. What can I say? great minds think alike.  

We look forward to another week of sunny hospitality.

Week beginning June 15th - Kaffeine the Cookbook - Coming Soon

This week we have some very important and exciting news to announce, Kaffeine is to get its own cookbook. Last week Peter and I signed a deal with Quadrille publishing who publish other foodie authors from Michel Roux, James Martin and Dale Pinnock. Quadrille is also owned by a sister Australian publishing house Hardie Grant who have planned to release the Kaffeine Cookbook down under.

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to write a cookbook, I literally dreamed of either being an animation director like my hero Walt Disney or being a food author. At the ages of 18 and 20 I wrote two cookbooks called Red-Jar Cooking and Nomadic Cooking. Red-Jar is basically an anagram of my name which I still use for creative things from time to time. And the term nomadic is in reference to my up bringing. Though I never strayed far from New Zealand and Australia during my up bringing I moved around a lot, 10 schools and I've lost count of the places i've called home. The transcripts for these books went around publishers but sadly never got published. 

A few years later I worked for the Australian Women's Weekly writing and testing recipes for their cookbooks and magazines. There I learnt that testing recipes was a very good way to selling cookbooks in the long run. If it was simple enough to follow with a result that matches the pictures then you've got a best seller. Australian Women's Weekly test all their recipes 3 time before giving it the tick. Their institution has also kick started several successful careers, more notably Donna Hay.

At about the age of 9 I started inventing and writing my own recipes in the hopes that one day I'll be published. 24 years later this dream is coming true and I'm very pleased and happy that it'll be associated with Kaffeine. So over the summer and early autumn expect to find a lot of Kaffeine's classic appearing on the menu, this will be fine tuning ideas and recipes for the book. This time next year you will be able to make you very own Kaffeine goodies and coffee too.

Week beginning June 8th - Australian menu (GTS) and Protein menu (ECS)

This week at GTS the kitchen team have decided to go back to Kaffeine's origins and celebrate Australia. Starting with the sweet we have cherry ripe muffins, my personal favourite Aussie chocolate bar, its a combination of cherry pieces, cherry goo, coconut and dark chocolate. Expect to find all the yummy elements of a cherry ripe in our muffins. 

Once or twice a year we put cheese and vegemite scones on the menu, before I went against the grain these were my weakness. There is something utterly satisfying about how savoury and savoury go together, these scones are the best. Next we have another Aussie chocolate bar turned baked treat violet crumble friands. This is basically a honeycomb slab that has been coated in chocolate, the only thing violet is it's wrapping. 

Sadly we don't have a BBQ at GTS but we will be grilling our prawns and mixing them in a salad of mango, cucumber, carrot, cherry tomato, red peppers (also known as capsicum in Australia), mint, chilli dressing and rocket.  No Aussie inspired menu would be complete without a classic giant sausage roll, we use the finest scotched beef from H&G Walters Butchers and mix it with our own blend of sauté onions, garlic, herbs and cheese. We then roll the sausage in all butter puff pastry and bake. Served with our very own real tomato ketchup.

Down at EastCastle Street we have replaced our gluten-free bagels with sourdough flatbread wraps, these are a lighter option for those of you that find our baguettes a challenge to complete. 

Once again this week I will be focusing more on protein foods and detox ingredients, this are a great way to help fitness and keeping that tummy trim. Expect to find tuna, smoked salmon, avocado, quinoa, chickpeas, strained yoghurt, nuts, chia seeds and many more protein rich foods on this weeks menu. 

So whether you want a fair dinkum experience or a protein rich detox we have you covered at both stores.

Week beginning June 1st - English Abundance

Growing in an abundance this time of year are foraged goods, these edible plants are used in our cooking from time to time. Ingredients that were once a common part of our diet until the connivence of supermarkets made foraging less of a necessity.

This week I've incorporated foraged ingredients into all 3 salads at Eastcastle street. All very pleasant and non threatening to the eye. First we have a chilli beef salad with loads of raw fibre from carrots, cucumber and ice berg. The salad is then dressed in a creamy pineapple weed dressing. Pineapple weed is a close relative of chamomile and as the name suggest smells and taste of pineapple. Commonly grows anywhere there is grass this weed literally grows all around us and often going unnoticed. Our chilli beef salad will also be garnished with rosy garlic flower, pretty little pink buds that taste like garlic.

Our second salad is another combination of raw and cooked but this time vegetarian. Raw red cabbage and radish tossed in a zesty lemon and lime dressing then layered with roasted sweet potatoes that have been tossed in a buckthorn mayonnaise. Buckthorn berried is an ingredient that I use a lot in Kaffeine. These bright orange berries grow in coastal areas and are rich in vitamin C, amino acids and antioxidants. This salad will also be garnished with black mustard flowers, a member of the cabbage family these flowers have a fiery wasabi flavour and great for adding more depth and texture to salads. 

Lastly our third salad of green beans has one of my all time favourite foraged ingredient added, honesty seed pods. As a member of the cabbage family these contain mustard oils and consequently are rather piquant. They are usually no bigger than a 2 pence piece and resemble mange tout. You should try them... honestly... 

Down at Kaffeine GTS Khan is breaking out the filo pastry to create a tart filled with some of summers best greens, leek and cabbage. All married together with feta, dill and pine nuts. This will be complimented by the salads, from protein rich beef and edamame to a very healthy and cleansing mixture of puy lentils, grapefruit, alfalfa sprouts and a hot Tunisian harissa dressing. 

Come and enjoy the best of England's free grown produce, because we are a cafe that cares not just about great coffee but also about serving amazing food.

Week beginning May 25th - Post Bank Holiday - Pre Summer

Post bank holiday and a good reason to keep the menu focused on healthy, fresh and vibrant. This week we shall be cleansing our bodies with fibre, grains, protein and a catalogue of summer vegetables. Also down at our Eastcastle street store all salads and along with the colourful tuna bake are all gluten free, great for keeping our tummies trim. One less thing to feel guilty about after what would have been an indulgent long weekend for most. 

Also back on the menu for a second week is sea kale broccoli. This foraged vegetable is a member if the cabbage family and grows wild along shingle beaches. The broccoli heads pop out in May for a couple of weeks each year and have a stronger broccoli flavour than sprouting broccoli. But more surprisingly it has the distinct aroma of honey coming from their floral buds.

Over at Kaffeine GTS Khan and I seem to be thinking alike, we write our menus separately and I've noticed there are a few similarities between our menus. Unintentionally we've both put apricot and almond muffins on our menus, so the competition is on 'who does it better?'

Come into our 2 stores this week and scrutinise over our muffins, best served with coffee.

Week beginning May 18th - Protein (ECS) and Mexican (GTS) menus

Welcome to another week at Kaffeine, now serving you 7 days a week from 2 locations. This week’s inspirations are Mexican at GTS (Great Titchfield Street) and Protein at ECS (Eastcastle Street). 

Chef chilli con Khan has drawn her menu inspirations from north Americas Mexico; expect to find black beans, spicy chicken fajita's, avocado salsa, chipotle chillies and chilli con vegetables. I’m probably going to discretely excuse myself one day this week from ECS to have Khan's mexi lunch...

Down the road at ECS I will be creating a healthy protein enriched menu, the reasons are wholly selfish but everyone can benefit. Recently I did something unexpected I joined a gym. Though this may be normal for most people the gym is something I had avoided with a passion. My perception of gymnasium's was men and women showing off their fit and toned bodies while getting even more ripped. This definitely does happen, but I also noticed that 60% of gym goers are physically very normal, people who don’t obsess but want to live a healthy lifestyle, this is an approach I can appreciate. Saying that I have challenged myself to getting a slamming bod for one summer, I'm doing this with a healthy ego and will maintain a shirt on when walking through Regents Park on a mildly warm day. Expect to find lean mean ingredients that are high in protein, fibre and vibrancy. From tuna to turkey, quinoa to tofu and fresh garden peas, all fuel for a stronger healthy body. 

Whether you’re after a bit of spice or something to help you grow for summer both Kaffeine's have it covered.
