Seasonal Eating

My Tomato Carpaccio

June 13, 2026 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

I love the combination of the sweet, ripe tomatoes with anchovies, capers, Parmesan and a little red onion. It is an umami-laden flavour bomb perfect as a summer starter or light lunch served with some crusty bread.

Smoked Haddock and Poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc

May 17, 2026 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Smoked Haddock and poached Egg with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and a Beurre Blanc. There is a certain class of genteel English hotel where they serve an assortment of dishes alongside the usual offering of a full English and a Continental offer. Maybe a bowl of kedgeree, a Manx kipper or a perfect poached egg and smoked haddock. This nutritious yet tasty dish can easily be elevated to a stunning lunch or supper dish. Perfect for spring with some sautéed seasonal vegetables and a simple beurre blanc or butter sauce.

My Dressed Crab is simply Perfect

August 2, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

My Dressed Crab is simply Perfect. Island life in the summer is summed up for me in one dish. When I holidayed as a child with my family in the Isles of Scilly this was always the peak season foodie treat. At the end of our time away a trip to a harbourside restaurant and…
