KOL’s Flavour Library: Rye Koji (part two)

Once fully bloomed, the rye is covered in a fine white mould - a sign it’s ready. Alive and full of flavour, this is where the depth and complexity start building.

R&D: Viva la Vida.

Crisp buñuelos with yoghurt ice cream pay tribute to Frida’s final painting, Viva La Vida. A still life of bright red watermelons painted days before her death, the work captures her defiant celebration of life in the face of suffering.

As Santiago says: “When you bite into watermelon, it’s like biting into life.”

R&D: Frida’s Mole.

Mole poblano and slow-braised short rib tamal; a nod to Frida’s great love, Diego Rivera. Mole was Diego’s favourite dish, and his ex-wife is said to have taught Frida the recipe during their time living together.

Spring.⁠

The delightful pinks of Tomlison & Son’s Yorkshire rhubarb colours our palette. Pickled, for a scallop ceviche with gooseberry aguachile; preserved, infused and dried for head pastry chef Laura’s Impossible Cake.

Spring vegetables brighten a new tamal with asparagus and Spenwood cheese, served with a rich, pozole-inspired broth.

Our flauta is laid open to reveal its layered filling: spring green mole, razor clams and rapeseed ‘caviar’.

The suadero taco returns - a sort-of street taco of slow-cooked beef flank with wild garlic salsa.

KOL’s Flavour Library: Rye Koji (part one)

A cornerstone of fermentation in our kitchen, rye koji brings gentle sweetness, deep umami and subtle malted notes to dishes across the menu.
