Carnival Of Contrasts

SPIRIT NOTES

Have you ever cleaned the leaves of a rubber tree plant with water and a teaspoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice? If you have not, then imagine a fresh, clean, green and sweet aroma filling the room. On the palate bursting with flavours such as a lemon sorbet spiced up with ginger and pepper creating a carnival of contrasts, smooth yet sharp and sweet even peppery. Following dilution, we prepared sweet cherries and pears with a sabayon cream alongside candied orange slices before we tasted a coconut panna cotta with a mango coulis and sautéed strawberries in a red wine pepper sauce.
