THE LURE OF CHUTNEY

The Concise Oxford dictionary describes chutney as pungent, originally Indian condiment of fruit, vinegar etc. a puny and dull entry for this versatile condiment that now, casually appears on tables all over the world. Oded Schwartz invites us to try these fascinating blends!

CHRISTMAS FEATURE
AT THE VINEYARD HOTEL & SPA

With Alex Docherty, Executive Chef, The Vineyard Hotel & Spa

Celebrate the season of Christmas with an elegant dinner! A touch of brandy, silver studded snowmen and a fine Christmas cake. Scintillating cocktails, a trio of mushroom soup with a dash of brandy, braised lamb and delectable fondant potatoes with brandied apricot chutney. Panna cotta is the unctuous, creamy dessert with a citrus brandy sauce, and the most important of all, a fine Christmas Cake, well aged and redolent with Oude Molen 100 Reserve brandy. The finale an excellent coffee and some smooth as silk chocolate.
