With the Amuse, was the trio of canapés served in three separate tiers. The "Quiche Lorraine" as the name suggests was a familiar flavour pairing with the use of Comte, Jamon, Quail Egg, and Grelot onion; while the Smoked Eel Tartlet was a rather herbaceous number with the addition of Nori and Oxalis. And my favourite was the moreish Foie Gras Tart. Glazed in reduced Sauternes, the dainty ensemble was garnished with flavours of roasted apple, punchy Gerlot onion, tangy sherry vinegar, and locally grown herbs.
