The Ambrette seems to be in full bloom now. We feel a new buzz around the restaurant with the new look and feel. My intention was to change the menu slightly to introduce a few new main courses and starters. Local Ramsgate crabs were an excellent discovery. Crabs have a special place in my list of preferred ingredients. It brings some mouthwatering memories back from childhood days in India. My mother makes the best crab in the world. Crabs in India are smaller and packed with flavour. I would compare them to the famous Cromer crabs in the UK. It was a sense of pure joy to recreate her recipe in the crab jus with mustard oil.The wedding season has been great at The Hannah Dining Suite at Quex Park.
My heart goes out to the flood victims in Pakistan. The sight of human suffering melts way conditioning and blocks in our hearts. Petty voices of political opinion and dislike die out and gives way to feelings of compassion . We feel the pain as if we are all connected by this invisible thread of humanity.
