We met again after a long time for The Wild Asparagus Table in Bandra at Ketaki's beautiful home. The first 30 minutes were spent on the wide terrace beyond her living room overlooking the Arabian sea, with soft drinks on our palms and sweet nothings on our lips, warming up to each other.
The party started when the quorum of 10 foodie members zeroed in. We moved to dining area for a sit-down dinner. The wine bottles were popped open. Red and White wine from @asprispirits and @bartonguestier_france graced the tables
The food was meticulously prepared, tastefully done. As the food appeared, course by course, we relished the flavours, textures and the presentation of each dish.
Would I get a similar menu in any restaurant?
Certainly Not!! That is the beauty of attending a pop up in a private home.
We started with freshly baked Sourdough bread with honey herb butter, Goat's cheese and grape and olive Tapnade
Amouche Bouche Avaocade Tartlets..loved these creamy Avocade mousee on crispy short pastry
This was followed by Potatoes and Pipedare that had crispy potatoes with Bosque style bell pepper-tomato sauce
I am vegetarian on Tuesday so was served Almond and herb crushed vegetable & Grueyere cheese Quenelles with honey-orange carrots and Dijion Mustard Grand Marinier Sauce.
But Ketaki was kind to parcel me the non-veg too for me to feast the next day. It had melt-in-mouth almond&herb flavoured chicken with honey-orange carrots and dijion mustard grand Marinier sauce.
and finally the dessert of Tarte Tartine caramelised apple tarte tartine with vanilla bean creme anglaise
Simply delicious!!
And the company was equally lovely, each sharing their personal story from different walks of life, sharing their common passion for food.
Next one hour was spent in the living room having some fun over wine.
