Capturing the Essence of Nature
Sustainability and conserving the landscape sits at the heart of the ethos at Forge. Preserving the ingredients we have growing here to use in the seasons ahead, is a skill and something we very much enjoy.
Preservation is an integral part of our culinary philosophy at both restaurants, the Coach House and Forge. Through various preservation techniques, we extend the lifespan of seasonal ingredients, capturing their essence to be enjoyed throughout the year.
In the larder at Forge, we discovered some of these exceptional preserves that the team have been crafting…
– Elderflower Vinegar: A tangy and floral vinegar, perfect for enhancing dressings and marinades.
– Fermented Nasturtium: Unleashing the unique flavours of nasturtium through fermentation, adding a tangy and peppery kick to your palate.
