MILDRED'S TEMPLE KITCHEN

My parents are in town, where to go? Liberty Village is our choice, a modern and ticklish urban eatery with a Marylin Monroe movie an the wall.
We started with Bread & Olives: Thuet's sourdough bread, hand rolled crackers & a garlic Tuscan bean dip then my love for Morocco took me to the Lamb Tagine: Roast squash, orange cardamom, scented cous cous & pickled dates served with olive oil and for the traditional Steak Frites: 4o days aged striploin served with a heap of frites, garlic spinach & horseradish jus.

BOLLY CAULI: roasted curried cauliflower tossed with quinoa,
 caramelized onions, wilted spinach & green grapes,
topped with a dollop of yogurt
HANDMADE GNUDI: your Italian nona made this from ricotta, egg, a little flour, a hint of nutmeg & a lot of love served with sage butter & shaved Sovrano 


CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING: coffee cream

 

Experience: $ 152.00
  • Bread & Olives

For lovers of spices and interesting flavours, Grandma made a good job with the Gnudi (said the Italian dad) and the Tagine was a tasteful mind journey to the Medina.
