Growing up in the USA, Christmas pudding was not a common holiday tradition for most people. In our family, having a Christmas pudding was a special treat, as it would have to be specially ordered or made at home, which often led to a forgotten …
Thanksgiving is not complete without pecan pie, but why limit yourself to only enjoying it once a year? This pie is a super simple; one bowl, quick to mix up, and perfect to make in advance. The bourbon adds an extra depth to this pie …
Last Wednesday, after a bit of a mix up, we headed to the brilliant pop-up Whisk Dessert Bar. Being locals, we had passed the place many times and kept thinking we needed to try it. After all, the idea of a three course dessert seemed genius, at least to CBK and RDJ who have what some might term a mild obsession with sweets. When we found out HAT and his lack of sweet tooth was interested as well, all bets were off and we made a reservation and headed down.
Whisk is the brain child of fellow local, Randon Burns, who is so incredibly welcoming we almost didn’t want to leave. He has filled his team with equally friendly people making the service feel like a super posh restaurant mixed with a visit to a friend’s house.
The concept behind Whisk is to create a full dessert experience like you would get from fine dining but with the focus on the desserts that are not your typical end of night nosh. In fact, to get the true taste we didn’t have dinner beforehand, obviously that was more driven by CBK and RDJ. The meal started with an amuse-bouche of gooseberry and cream with a biscuit crumble for crunch. The gooseberries were wonderfully tart and offset well with the cream. HAT is not a fan of tart desserts but said that he found the use of gooseberry refreshing. Kicking off the meal with something that was not too heavy on the sweet was an excellent way to ease into a three course dessert adventure.
For your main, you have a choice of one of six delicious desserts. We only wish we could have tried them all and so took an age to make our selections.
It is summer, when we look for any excuse to get out the grill and have ourselves a BBQ, and being a household of Americans what better excuse than the 4th of July? As this is Retro Denim Jacket’s first full summer living in London, …
