Velvet Garden Winter Festive Dinner

 

The star dish for me - confit leeks, leek cream, walnut crumb, thyme butter, leek ash

A bit of a late posting.... going to the Velvet Garden Winter Festive Dinner was such an experience. A 5 course meal of beautifully cooked vegetables; inventively cooked with stunning presentation. Every dish was exquisite but the real star plate for me was the confit leeks; the thyme just went so well with the leeks... will try and re-create as some point.  I even loved the parsnip dish (one of my least favourite vegetables being so sweet); the ras el hanout mayo just made it.  

The astonishing fact is that was all vegan and gluten free.
