A Training Day with a Difference...........

Well as most of you know, training days can be a bit of a bore, but here at Bistro Live, we like to make things fun....

As you may know we have a new menu starting this week and what better way to learn the delicious menu, than to invite all the staff along to a training session where they learn about all the new dishes they will be serving to all of our guests, whilst getting the chance to eat them and give us their feedback on what they like and are not quite for them. So I gathered the Bistro L!VE Nottingham kitchen team together and we went through the complete menu. We then worked as a team to create all the tasty dishes.

My personal opinion is - I think this menu is amazing, it’s got such a vibrant nature, and it’s creatively made using fine quality ingredients and with love and flair. It’s the perfect menu for this time of year with in the run up to Christmas.

The feedback we gained from our Bistro family was invaluable. I think the Sticky Pork will always be a firm favourite, however it will gain direct competition from our fun and quirky Mini Fish ‘n’ Chips and also from the elegant and vibrant Butternut Squash & Wild Mushroom Risotto.

Also there was a very good response from The Fish Dish and the Chicken, Gammon & Mascarpone; many said the Lamb Rojan Josh was perfect, not too spicy, well cooked and perfect for a night out.

And the desserts, well - everyone loved them!! The Banoffee Cheesecake got such an amazing response - the way it looks and its taste; it will definitely be a firm favourite among many.

The Apple & Raspberry Crumble was perfect, not too much custard and the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. The Profiteroles well they just win every time. Its that simple – who could turn down a pile of homemade choux buns filled with a sweet vanilla cream and topped with a warm luxurious dark chocolate sauce?!

I hope you enjoy the menu as much as we enjoy preparing it for you.
