Spring fling
Photography by Yvonne Duivenvoorden
Our spring dinner party menu flirts with new and old flavours and mingles traditional classics with savoury new creations. Delicious and crisp Celebration Cornish Hens take the centre stage of the menu, but the side of Polenta Petals are sure to steal the show with their unique shape and taste. End dinner with a big finish of Golden Pineapple in Vanilla Orange Syrup.
