A natural setting that inspires the cooking
There is no need for artifice here: the pine trunks, the pale sand and the dappled light create the atmosphere on their own. I favour understated presentation, wooden boards and clean plates, and let the landscape do the rest.
Being so close to the ocean invites me to work with oysters, line-caught fish and shellfish, while autumn brings ceps and game. Each season writes its own version of your menu.
For dessert, I like fresh, fruity creations that are easy to share once the dance floor fills up: seasonal tarts, pavlovas, or a wedding tower that makes its entrance by candlelight.
