"Fire leek, cured elk, hollandaise, lemon butter: "The leek had been cooked whole in the open fire and the outer layer was completely blackened, however the beautifully soft inside had been taken out, prepared and then put back in the 'shell'. It was sweet, unctuous and so very delicious, and melted in the mouth. It was topped with a smooth, creamy hollandaise of the highest quality, as well as lemon butter which, in turn, was topped with cured, finely grated elk meat, which added further complexity and an umami richness. It may have looked simple, but this was original, complex and packed full of flavour." - Elizabeth Winter
