Looking forward to heading North East in June for Split Feastival Food & Drink Village at Sunderland Festival, in Herrington Country Park. It's a mixed crowd so planning a menu that will offer something for everyone.
The hot weather at VegFest in Bristol got me thinking about offering more cold dishes. It was so hot in the trailer. This was the view from the hatch...
I'm also very excited about serving up my audition dish from MasterChef which I'll serve with a kicking coriander sauce. There'll be a battle of the curries between a slow cooked rendang (with well sourced beef from local Frosts butchers) and my very popular Indonesian jungle curry with marinated tempeh (vegan and super tasty). The mango and lime sherbets went down well at VegFest so I think I'll make them again. reminder to self to get the lime sherbets fermenting this week so they're ready in time. I ran out in Bristol, so had to switch to making pina colada slushies with pineapple and coconut. I could start a lassi & slushie bar at this rate :o)
Split Feastival Menu
- Paneer shashlik roti wrap, with cachumba salad & coriander sauce
- Malaysian beef rendang, slow cooked Cheshire
beef with jasmine rice - Indonesian ‘jungle’ curry, with tempeh & jasmine rice
- Sushi platter, fish (inc line caught mackerel) or veggie
- Rhubarb samosas with star anise & vanilla ice-cream

I'm then a bit more local in Stockport for an Olympic torch 'brunch'. I'm planning a breakfast and brunch menu with a twist, including masala omelette, chilli fried eggs and roti canai, a Malaysian flaky roti with a veg dal. I'll be serving this up in Stockport Mersey Way from 8am on Sun 24th June.
