Island
Fusion Comes To Epsom |
There are
not a vast number of Caribbean restaurants in the UK, so it is not
always easy to find one where you can experience Caribbean cuisine. A
great advocate for the cuisine over the years has been Orlando
Satchell. As Senior Chef and Consultant for the Ladera Resort Hotel
in St. Lucia, its restaurant Dasheene became Orlando's signature. He
regularly devised new menus, and trained chefs. The restaurant is a
haunt for the celebrities such as Bill Gates, and Michael Winner. If
you want to reserve a room at the Ladera, book well in advance - it
is that exclusive. If you are in St. Lucia, try booking for lunch or
dinner. Be prepared for a spectacular view because it is high up in
the hills overlooking the sea.
Orlando has
traveled around the world promoting Nouvelle Caribbean Food. The idea
is not to plonk the food on a plate, and think the taste is enough to
sell it. Making an artwork of food is a major strength in marketing
food. His travels have included going as far afield as Moscow and
Singapore. Now he has a new restaurant in Epsom, which works out a
little cheaper than travelling to St Lucia to try his food.
Lime
is a new international fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar
offering a unique style of cooking.
Orlando
Satchell, the Executive Chef, with his world renowned culinary skills
has been evolving his expertise on several continents for the past
twenty five years. His fusion menu is a clear reflection of these
influences, with a combination of exciting tastes and textures.
Lime's menu
introduces some neglected ingredients from around the world alongside
the best of the better known ingredients, and utilises the marinating
of meats with a range of spice combinations to give dishes their
unique flavour and texture.
Chef Orlando
believes the taste, style and presentation of the food will give
diners a real sense of connection with the finest the world has to
offer, from the fun and flavours of the world's most exotic islands
to the clean presentation of French cuisine.
Lime's
signature dish is Chef Orlando's roasted garlic shrimps, (pictured
above), which feature pan fried roasted shrimps marinated in coconut
milk, lime, garlic and ginger, and served on a plantain salad with
red chilli oil. This is available as a starter or a main course. The
menu also includes some traditional dishes with an island fusion
touch such as the Lime fillet of beef, rubbed with a tropical mix of
herbs and spices; roasted cod with lime; fusion loin of lamb with
Creole spices; and pepper pot Cornish hen. Vegetarian options are
also included.
