The previous sunday at the Claptonian
I finally managed to get a picture of our guests just before they left. The evidence is here. So are pics of the work by Jorge de la Garza thats up at the moment.
We have a new starter as I mentioned before, grav lax and sill and saffron pancakes for dessert.
New for next week is the main dish. "Stockholm chili" with smoked coca cola. My dear friend Archie has a smokery and has offered his services. Thank you Archie. We love you.
Mad men
Last weekends Claptonian brunch was a lot of fun and very relaxed. We arranged it over two days instead of our usual hectic one sitting. The guests never seem to notice the difference but believe me the kitchen does. Being squashed between the washing machine and the cooker while dicing potatoes is not a pretty sight. And speaking of dicing potatoes, I truly came into my house wife-mad men person standing there for what felt like hours. But the end result was a success. 'Pytt i Panna" in all its glory.

Question?
Why do we always forget to take pictures during service???
We always remember to take a few when the tables are set and few of all the dirty dishes, but never during the brunch. Something has to change or this blog will be starved of visual content. I have some that I could post even though the artistic quality is highly questionable. Coming soon...
We have extended the exhibition with mexican artist Jorge de la Garza. Some amazing collages that are so in demand they had to be taken down and transported for a gallerist viewing before being put up again. To see his work visit www.jorgedelagarza.org
Remember how In my last post I said we have to keep the menu current to keep ourselves entertained? Well we certainly have!
There is a completely new menu being served on the 21st of February. For those who have never tried "sill" (pickled herring) or "pytt i panna" this is you chance. If you are thinking ????!!!! google it. The menu will be posted any minute now. x

Brunch Sunday 7th Feb and all that elderflower..
It looks like there is a demand for the menu we have at the moment. Really looking forward to tweaking it a bit but so many of the guests who have booked are not just coming for the art, but for the grav lax and/or the meatballs, and who are we to argue?
Still need to keep it interesting and mainly for our own entertainment, we've added a new feature to the gooey chocolate cake.
A Swedish classic with a twist, it now comes with elderflower sorbet. Very refreshing indeed.
It's the final week for viewing work by Jorge De la Garza, Chelsea College of art graduate, Mexican artist and a Hackney resident.
The menu for Sunday 7th February is the same as previously posted, (except for the elderflower sorbet of course). Someone just cancelled 2 seats so they are up for grabs. Excuse me for now, I have to go and turn the gravlax. x
