Smoked Balsamic Gin Sour
London dry gin with lemon, Campari and smoked balsamic glaze, shaken with egg white for a silky head.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts
Roasted sprouts with crisp pancetta, pomegranate and sage, dressed in a white balsamic and lemongrass vinaigrette with a fig balsamic glaze.
Pie Dough
