Team La Mouette does it again

I am in love with food photography. And while I try to style plates myself I think, and you might agree, that it would be an utterly indulgent affair to have a French trained chef style the plates for you instead.


So I mailed Mari last week and between herself and Chef Henry they allowed me to have my hedonistic moment and take a few snaps  of the new Gourmand Menu at La Mouette.


Here's a visual introduction to this 6 course meal, which I have to affirm, tastes spectacular.

Chilled tomato gazpacho smoked herb oil, truffle and cheese croquettes

Salt and pepper prawns shaved radish, chorizo popcorn, sweet corn pureé

Assiette of duck apricot puree, brioche crumble, honey and pistachios

Crayfish ravioli almond crumble and cauliflower foam 

Lamb 3 ways ratatouille provençal, grilled courgette and smoked aubergine puree

‘Pina colada coconut panacotta, pineapple granita

Lemon curd burnt honey cream, honey comb, spearmint and crème fraiche sorbet

 OR

Gorgonzola vanilla roasted fig mushroom puree and bread crisps
