My work station this morning.
I recently watched Gennaro Contaldo prepare beef carpaccio sat down in the sun on YouTube, and I thought to myself "What a weird way to prepare food." I'm used to the fast-paced, high pressure way of preparing food in a professional kitchen, and sitting down just doesn't enter your mind.
We are going through an interesting time at work right now - none of the new apprentices are lasting because they are not used to the speed at which we work. However, it made me realise that I rarely savour the preparation of all the fresh and vibrant ingredients that come through our door. I questioned myself on whether I am in love with the food or with the work, so I did this ...
As it turns out, I love both.
The fruit: Strawberries, Raspberries, Orange and Physalis.
The Flatbread: Wheat topped with Golden and Brown Linseed, Millet, Hemp seed and Poppy seed (as I am at home relaxing in my Crocs, I bought these from Tesco).
The dressing: Orange Blossom Honey and Toasted Almonds.
Top with some fresh cream, orange and lime zest and pour a glass of white wine in the sun!
Enjoy.
