Tonight’s menu has been carefully assembled to delight your cosmopolitan taste buds so sit back and relax whilst we make a song and dance about a few dishes I think are worth a mention.
Let me begin by introducing an exquisite dish - the very special Pan Fried Duck Livers. The inspired addition of toasted brioche offsets this dish to perfection – it’s no surprise to learn that Dolly Levi had a hand in its creation!
Then there’s a sophisticated Salmon Platter or Chargrilled Vegetable Risotto - a welcome touch of Mediterranean sunshine in the heart of Highland Perthshire!
Chicken Supreme stuffed with Chorizo Mousse will be arriving on Mains platform 1 shortly. On Mains platform 2 we present Grilled Loin of Scottish Salmon. If it’s good enough for Vandergelder then…
Finally, dessert. A favourite amongst New York (and Perthshire!) high society is the perfect Lemon, Lime and Vermouth Syllabub. Every dish is a winner tonight but for me it’s hard to resist the Chocolate and Cointreau Mousse, served with Pistachio Praline - the choice is yours!
Enjoy, John Anderson, Catering Director
