This weekend’s Secret Pickle Supper Club was our most intimate ever and was held at Steeped and Infused. The theme was Tea and we enjoyed a fantastic meal, interesting guests, and a wonderful venue. We couldn’t ask for better.

 

Jennifer Best, the founder of Steeped and Infused, who educated us about each tea as the course it was used in was presented. Matt did an amazing job incorporating such a complex yet delicate ingredient into each course.

 

Tea Pickle Menu

 

Tea Sangria, Jennifer’s special recipe incorporating her Green & White Grapefruit Supreme blend,

 

Bronzion ceviche made with kumquats, ginger ale and hibiscus.

 

Asparagus raw & cooked, mushroom raw and cooked, potato confit, manchego, ramps, gunpowder custard

 

Lapson Souchong-Copper River Salmon, spruce tips, grapefruit, and watercress soup

 

Milk-poached scallop, with yogurt, peanuts, raisins and Monk’s Blend “fried sauce”

 

Veal Osso Buso with mustard spaetzle, fava beans, ricotta, dill and Canadian Spring Maple Tea Blend.

 

Sous-vide pork loin with capres, fennel, sun-dried tomato and Rooibos Lemon Chiffon pudding

 

Spring Iced Ice Tea

 

“Tea Service”: chocolate and jasmine ganache served with tea cookies, spearmint, and rhubarb.

 

Big thanks to Jennifer Best for use of Steeped and Infused, and to the hard working and fantastic Secret Pickle Crew: Matt, Marichka, Wade and Gerry.

Chef Andrew Wilson was the creative force behind the "daily sashimi" plate for this TorontoLife.com feature (yes, this was an arranged session). This series is dedicate to chef's efforts that afternoon.

 

Colborne Lane's Daily Sashimi

yuzu vinaigrette + pickled ginger + cucumber + black sesame + shiso ($17)

 

Cubes of hamachi lightly tossed in calamansi vinaigrette then artfully paired with:

avocado puree

cauliflower puree

puffed tapioca

black sesame powder

black sesame pearls

julienned scallion greens

compressed cucumber

calamansi vinaigrette

Ontario radish rounds

pickled ginger (thin orange rolls)

pickled cauliflower

 

shiso cress

thai basil cress

coriander cress

Cookstown Greens flowers

 

One thing to note is that the plating and ingredients do vary depending on the insipiration (perhaps freshness factor of the fish) of the day. Fish may be replaced with salmon, tuna or snapper however the Asian elements are always laced within the dish.

During World War II the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was an important contributor to the efforts of the US Navy. The shipyard has since been closed. The restoration of wetlands and a combination of public, private and commercial uses for the buildings and developed areas are in place or envisioned for the future. As it stands today the area is an incredibly interesting place with ghosts of the past easily available to the photographer in the presence of the amazing old buildings there.

 

An unhappy legacy of the war effort at Mare Island is toxic waste left behind in some places. Building 225 was the metal plating shop, and has been the subject of much discussion and concern. I have no personal knowledge as to the extent or the causes, but I believe I have heard of similar issues with other military base closures.

My LDD work in progress, restarted after about a year or so of it just being the engines. I guess it was the whole Cuusoo thing with the Lego RIfter that got me motivated once again.

On this plate, there is the Café Royale, with dark and white chocolate mousse layers, and a poached pear. I probably should have cut this into a smaller portion/shape--this would have hid the dark chocolate mousse dirtying the sides of the white chocolate mousse. Everything on this plate looks huge, the cake, the pear, the piping. Looking back, I'm disappointed in myself.

Suddenly I feel like Xena, Warrior Princess.
