A new and exciting way to eat out, in.Charlie and Evelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00830561859020414559noreply@blogger.comBlogger299125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436055802569758.post-26718350046326616562016-09-16T12:30:00.000+01:002016-09-16T12:30:34.475+01:00Back where it all began. Before we started our supper club back in 2009, Charlie and Evelyn's Table was simply our dining table. It once belonged to C's grandparents, the real Charlie and Evelyn. As a newly married couple who loved to eat, it quickly became the witness to many post-work suppers, lazy Sunday breakfasts, and fun parties while its chairs hosted a multitude of family and friends.<br />
<br />
In some ways, hosting a supper club came very naturally to two people who genuinely enjoy sharing their hospitality and, when there wasn't a supper club to visit in Edinburgh, it was an irresistible challenge. The idea became real and grew quickly, we moved house, got a bigger table, welcomed two little girls to our family and continued hosting supper clubs whenever we could.<br />
<br />
The experiences added fuel to our dream to work with each other in food and after welcoming hundreds of diners, we made a bold move to London where C completely retrained as a chef.<br />
<br />
Later today, we're officially launching that dream, our new venture <a href="http://www.ballintaggart.com/">Ballintaggart Farm</a>. It's a magical and beautiful destination where you can come to stay, host or attend an event, eat or learn to cook memorable and delicious food and soak up the spectacular views.<br />
<br />
It seems right to close this blog with a scant reflection of our journey so far, especially for those readers who are new to our story and to show you that Charlie and Evelyn's Table remains a very important part of what we do. It's now where we serve our guests' breakfast and from here our adventures in life and in food continue.<br />
<br />
We hope to see you all soon.<br />
<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Chris had an incredible time working
at three of Cornwall’s finest dining establishments and we managed to eat at
<a href="https://www.rickstein.com/">The Seafood Restaurant</a> (Rick and Jill Stein’s legendary institution), <a href="http://www.themarinersrock.com/">The Mariner’s</a>, Rock (Nathan Outlaw’s venture with Sharp’s brewery) and <a href="http://www.rojanos.co.uk/">Rojanos</a> (a
great Italian with Paul Ainsworth at the helm). We would have loved a chance
(and a babysitter) to dine at the new, <a href="http://www.nathan-outlaw.com/">Restaurant Nathan Outlaw</a> (2 Michelin
star) with its outstanding tasting menu and <a href="http://www.outlaws.co.uk/fishkitchen">Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen</a> (1 Michelin
star) which serves the daily catch in a tempting and unusual range of sharing
plates, both in Port Issac. Chris did his share of tasting while working in the kitchen but
I’ve also got <a href="http://www.number6inpadstow.co.uk/">Paul Ainsworth at No 6</a> (also 1 Michelin star) firmly on my wish
list.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Aside from the classic homemade picnic
complete with sandy sandwiches, head to <a href="http://www.hiddenhut.co.uk/">The Hidden Hut</a>. It feels like such a
perfect discovery, you can’t drive to it, only walk along the cliff tops. It’s
pretty, exposed, welcoming and delicious and you will leave satisfied by the
sea air, the view, and the menu. Whether it’s a hearty bowl of soup, a
scrumptious salad or a cake you fancy.
Be sure to stop by its sister coffee shack and grab an impressive
caffeine fix and a pastry at <a href="http://www.tatamsportscatho.co.uk/">Tatums</a> to fuel your cliff top amble or beach walk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rose as part of our evening of indulgence at The Seafood Restaurant and we

to fall for it’s family-run charms, beautiful setting and excellent vintages.
The Lindo family has lived and worked here sine 1982 and it’s a place created
with genuine love and passion. Annie, the matriarch of the family has even
tended every vine in “Annie’s vineyard” by hand. By hand! Daily tastings are
available and more extensive wine tours too or you can just taste and shop!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

passes, that it shouldn’t really be incomprehensible and yet it is. Our baby
girls are now four and two and the anticipation and excitement we felt
embarking on our London adventures is now replaced with feelings rather like a
swinging pendulum. At one extreme, settled and “at home” here, adoring the
sunshine, the endless list of things to see, do and be inspired by and being
close to old friends and making new ones </span>and then, in a swing, missing our Edinburgh
home, longing to see our families and friends, to take deep breaths of cool,
fresh air and gulps of Scottish tap water, to really watch the sunset and to be
back cooking in our beautiful kitchen!</div>

<span lang="EN-US">It’s still sinking in that it’s over and
graduation last week only made it seem more surreal in many ways as Chris was
delighted and surprised in the loveliest way by the presentation of the
Laurent-Perrier Champagne award for Best Overall Graduate of the Year 2015. As
if the impact Leiths has had needed any further confirmation,
his name is now on the board which hangs in the Leiths hallways. I’m proud
beyond words (and can’t wait to extend the celebrations with the prize, a trip
to Champagne!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">And then there’s the inevitable what next?
As Chris’s reputation grows, his diary is filling fast with a broad range of
private cheffing appointments and catering events, he is also revelling in the
continued opportunities to pass on his new skills, teaching culinary arts
alongside Ursula Ferrigno, at Billingsgate Seafood School, Waitrose Cookery
School and making a speedy return to Leiths to teach. We are busy, as always,
but we are also immensely enjoying what remains of our chapter here in London
before we return to Scotland to look for premises from which to fully realise
our ambitions with our dream business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We transformed what is usually an exciting test kitchen into a restaurant kitchen and the meeting/conference space into an atmospheric venue with hessian runners, olive branches, rosemary sprigs and soft candlelight. All before we welcomed a happy gaggle of guests for an incredible Italian feast created and prepared by Chris and fellow Diploma students, Johanne and Alona. They looked so at home in the cavernous kitchen and believe me when I say they did an amazing job. They were calm, professional and created big flavours and vibrant plates with great passion and skill before an epic and late night clear up mission. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The vibe was relaxed, easy, not at all how you might imagine a group of random diners in an industrial unit. We really cherish the power of food to bring people together and watching guests sharing heaped anti pasti platters and breaking sensational bread together was a real treat which only continued as the night and the plates rolled on. There was even an improptu serenading of our resident birthday girl, in true Itailian style! Here's what guests ate and how it looked...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Although this morning didn't start with the wished for lie in (and rather with Eva smashing nail varnish onto the carpet - eek), we feel a hazy, happy tiredness and very thankful for such a warm welcome to London. A special mention for the support of the diners, friends old and new and our chosen charity the MS Society, for the brilliant dedication of Alona and Johanne and for our dear, Edinburgh friends who looked after our chicken pox ridden girl and sleep resisting pre-schooler</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. We're wondering what <a href="http://charlieandevelynstable.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/from-their-wedding-day-to-our-wedding.html">the real Charlie and Evelyn</a> might make of this too. Now that's a happy Sunday (and shhh, don't remind Chris he just needs to run 26 miles now).</span></div>

and change and upheaval that we’re only now emerging from the drought or the
flood; I can’t make my mind up which suits best, both really.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re happily floating on the surge of energy
that comes from things shifting. Instead of trying to make plans and figure
out how to move forward and stay afloat day by day, we’re more focused and more
loving. By doing so much less and sleeping more, we’re actually achieving.
It’s an odd feeling, changing and feeling all together different and yet the
same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(hard). This year’s been intense, brilliant in parts, hideous in
others and we’ve moved, to London. Chris has almost completed his first term at
the incredible Leiths School of Food and Wine. He is refreshed and inspired. We can't really believe it. I
am relishing new opportunities for freelance food writing, being full-time with our two little girls, embracing the daily
routine, new adventures and getting a lot more sleep than has been usual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are in this together and the girls have
approached this move with lion hearts, curiosity and enthusiasm, we can only be
inspired to try and do the same and to make them proud, as we are proud of them

our Summer suppers know, understandably, those were the last at our Edinburgh
table for a while. The final run of suppers combined with a house move and a
young family were exhausting but oddly exhilarating and confirmed that we have
to run to where ever this love of feeding people takes us. Chris is running and
I am trying to catch him, clutching E and A’s hands. He is building his
portfolio and skills with great relish and offering a limited number of totally
bespoke private dining opportunites to loyal and new fans. If<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you are planning a special occasion or
gathering and would like him to feed you over the festive period and in 2015, please email to start a discussion. And, more than ever before, watch this space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The pot of gold at the end of this weekend's culinary rainbow was this gorgeous celebration. Guests gathered in the garden (avoiding the showers) and partied in the kitchen (always the heart of the best parties) and were warmed up with our delicious taster portions of bowl food, an unusual alternative to a buffet. We were delighted to be part of it. Happy birthday Gail.</div>

Staggered that that is even possible but it's been a busy old time here. After our last Saturday supper we've been in hiding, planning and preparing for our next events and celebrating a birthday and some precious time as a family. If you're looking for some Summery inspiration to chase away the rain however, we may have the answer here. Thank you to all those who gathered at our Table now a wee while ago, we loved it.<br />

We don't, so we're going to serve the same delicious menu instead:<br />
<br />
<i>To start</i><br />
Last of the Summer tomato tarts with {or without (v)} crab salad<br />
<br />
<i>To follow</i><br />
Sea bream {or Paneer (v)} with Tandoori butter, crushed saffron potatoes and coconut green beans<br />
<br />
<i>To finish</i><br />
Strawberry shortbread cardamom pots with spiced white chocolate and rose spongeCharlie and Evelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00830561859020414559noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436055802569758.post-40413068052045827452014-08-16T11:17:00.000+01:002014-08-19T11:19:50.834+01:00The finest of the FestivalIt's really quite something that you can go from this<br />

<br />
to this in just a few footsteps and if you are unaware of how, then I'd highly recommend a visit to the wonderful<a href="http://www.thesignetlibrary.co.uk/pommery-champagne-cafe-bar/"> Pommery Champagne Bar at The Signet Library</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
We were treated to the champagne afternoon tea with perfectly moreish sandwiches, lightly spiced scones with jam and cream, parfait, chocolate, petite carrot cakes and still more fruity sweet indulgences like bakewells and jellies. If you're not quite as greedy as us, staff will most helpfully bring you a box to takeaway. You cannot fail to be in awe of the beautiful interior and historic building, you are surrounded by towering shelves of ancient books (it's a working law library), beautiful pieces of furniture and awesome gilded ceilings and murals. It was completed in 1822 to a design by the esteemed architect Robert Reid.<br />

Whether it's to recharge and refuel on the amazing selection of food including fine Scottish seafood or the signature Pommery burger, a quick stop pre or post show for a glass of champagne it's a charming and sophisticated place to escape the Festival rush whilst still being able to hear the cheering crowds and street performers through the window. There are also limited spaces left for the <a href="http://www.edfringe.com/">special Fringe events</a> - Chocolates, Whiskies and Cocktails, Single Malt Sundays and maybe if you're very, very lucky, a seat for the <a href="http://www.heritageportfolio.co.uk/">Military Tattoo and Dinner Package.</a><br />

The third of our weekend's supper clubs was a very happy one. Happy hosts, happy guests, clean plates and even dessert wines. After a busy weekend, conquering the washing up mountain and very full recycling boxes tell their own story! We're so grateful that we're doing this and to all of our guests for being curious and enthusiastic enough to attend. Here's a peek at Saturday's supper.</div>

Last night's supper was a joy to host, one couple joined us thanks to a recommendation they picked up whilst living in Brisbane and another group of friends reunited with a surprise appearance from a couple who had pretended they were unable to make it. It was a lively, happy gathering of interested and interesting people. Here are my pics.</div>
