Your London Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 67)

76 THE CANAPÉS Blue Strawberry and Table Talk’s (BSTT) Clementine suggests Our chefs love the challenge of designing a gastronomic feast with a tongue-in-cheek twist. For example, how about a canapé of chargrilled sourdough topped with bellota ham, pickled pineapple, basil and candied tomato? THE STARTER Hugo Campbell, co-founder of Feast It advises Start with the brilliant Yardbirds Chicken, which has bought Harlem to the UK with its authentic fried chicken recipe. If you’re after the American junk food dream, how about its buttermilk fried chicken doused in maple syrup and hot sauce on a dainty yet dirty waffle? THE MAIN Joyce recommends We have a gourmet ‘grab and go’ menu, which is inspired by the best festival food from noodles to posh dogs and a range of fusion crowd-pleasers. IF YOU’RE… CRAZY FOR KFC Junk food was your first love and no night would be complete without a pit stop under the golden arches. The Colonel presided over your first date and you knew you’d met the one when they opted for ketchup, barbecue AND mayo… jacksongilmour.com IF YOU’RE… FAD MAD As a couple, you scour the pages of Time Out and follow Secret London ’s every post to get a taste of the next big thing. You’ll try anything once from Filippino to Finnish; the new and novel will always set your tastebuds alight. THE CANAPÉS Charlie suggests Food stalls are a fun way to get guests mingling. Think poké bowls or even a British charcuterie or risotto bar. THE STARTER Kitchen Party’s Clementine advises A sharing menu of potted salmon, mackerel, pickled cucumbers and rye crackers is a winner. THE MAIN Clementine of BSTT recommends A Korean-inspired lamb dish will pack a punch. Spiced pressed slow-cooked shoulder of lamb, gochujang rib, whipped goats’ cheese and lime, lime leaf and peanut caramel. IF YOU’RE… ALL ABOUT COMFORT AND PLEASURE Nothing beats mamma’s lasagne for you. At home, you’ll cook up hearty casseroles to serve with mash and lashings of butter and come Sunday lunch time, you’ll invariably be found surrounded by family enjoying a roast. THE CANAPÉS BSTT’s Clementine advises Roast potato, sour cream, lardo and caviar THE MAIN Charlie suggests Family-style sharing platters are always a win. Whether it’s a recipe passed down between generations or perhaps roast shoulder of lamb, rosemary roast potatoes and salsa verde, think long tables and guests serving each other. THE PUDDING Joyce recommends For a winter wedding, our hot choc ‘n’ orange pud is a great big hit of a dessert. sallytphoto.com for Rocket Food jacksongilmour.com kitchen-party.co.uk kitchen-party.co.uk kitchen-party.co.uk
