⁣⁣⁣⁣
Here’s what we thought:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣img_3007
🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Bharwan Zucchini – Crisp courgette flower, masala soya mince, pickled garlic⁣
šŸ’­Like a soft, spicy samosa w/ a light batter. Sauce is sweet, thick, creamy, citrusy & coconutty. Pickled garlic is heavenly. Soy has a creamy potato texture⁣
⁣

🌱⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Tandoori celeriac (GF) w/ mint chutney, burnt apple gel, masala seeds, gunpowder, coconut foam⁣
šŸ’­Flavour is outstanding, celeriac soft but retains a crunch, chutney is beaut. Nice contrast from the sweet apple, subtle coconut flavour, crunch from seeds⁣
