GRILLED BAVETTE, SMOKED BONE MARROW, MORELS
we marinade the steak overnight in a dressing of ginger, corinader, tamarind and fermented bean paste, before drying them off and readying them for the grill
the sauce is made by simmering beef bones and tendons overnight to make a rich, gelatinous broth, then infusing that with burnt onions, garlic, anise, peppercorns, cardamom and dried celeriac, before warming it with morel mushrooms, smoked bone marrow, and caramelised butter
once the steak is seared rare we rest it, carve it, sauce it, and serve it a sweet and deeply savoury black garlic ketchup

VESPER
it’s a hard thing to justify, opening a restaurant
they’re costly and laborious to build
they require a great number of skilled and talented people to bring them to life
like any arcane and elaborate mechanism, they’re littered with incredibly fiddly parts, all of which need to made to function together seamlessly, the failure of any one of which can be enormously destructive, both to the pleasure of the guests, and the serenity and equanimity of the team, and to what purpose?
firstly, I believe restaurants to be one of the most efficient and compelling engines for the production and dissemination of human joy - input the ingredients, invest in them a great deal of love and care, serve them with pride and panache, and consume with happy abandon
secondly, restaurants make sense of cities. they are places to be private in public, to be seen and cared for by strangers, they express an idealised version of how we’d like to live, but their hospitality is, or at least I firmly believe should be, offered universally, to anyone who crosses their threshold, without exclusion. they are a frivolity, but a vitally important one. we understand our city better through the restaurants we frequent, and the more interesting and varied those restaurants, the more profoundly we can console ourselves that the many indignities of city life are absolutely worth enduring
finally, our stock needs replenishing. a few great restaurants become institutionalised, and endure in splendour for decades. many others, equally as worthy, burn brightly, only to be cruelly snuffed out in an instant. cities are like that. they are tough and unforgiving. every brilliant new restaurant enhances this city, enlarges it, and elevates it. if we don’t build the city we want to live in, we have no right to complain when someone else swoops in and builds the city we don’t
so here is vesper, our evening star, soon to rise in the west end of exmouth market
a beautiful room, with a fantastic team, serving delicious pleasurable things, with a great deal of pride
if you’d like to come and cook with me, or work the floor, probably also with me, DM me
