New Seasonal Menu at Tokara Restaurant\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Chef Carolize, who has been leading the kitchen brigade at TOKARA Restaurant since late last year, describes her culinary personality as feminine and playful, using classic techniques as a springboard for her creativity, while exploring the ever-shifting world of food memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Motivated by the nostalgia of her mother\u2019s lovingly prepared food and heirloom recipes passed down from one generation to another, she approaches food with the expectation of reliving a fond memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe memories and generosity of other chefs – whether professional or a passionate lay cook such as my grandmother – have been my lodestar as a chef and I enjoy diving into my library of food memories as inspiration for new TOKARA dishes,\u201d says chef Carolize.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Heirloom Ingredients Take Centre Stage<\/span><\/h4>\n

Through the lens of food memory, she takes TOKARA diners on a memorable journey. Her new menu teems with seasonal heirloom ingredients such as winter melon, persimmons, parsnips, butternut, celeriac and gooseberries, interwoven with a dash of authentic Cape flavours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is plenty of choice among the starters from kudu tataki, and slow-cooked parsnip, bacon and brioche, to a hearty soup of the day. Vegans and vegetarians will feel right at home with a pea mousse and salt baked beetroot, or semi-dehydrated tomato, consomm\u00e9 and tempura tofu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carnivores will love the braised lamb shoulder, springbok loin with bobotie spiced carrot, or the beef ribeye with heerenboontjie and roasted garlic tapioca for mains. The line fish of the day is served with fire roasted celeriac, fennel celery and pancetta.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegans and vegetarians can satisfy their hunger with potato gnocchi and butternut enriched with a coconut curry sauce, or the roasted cauliflower, chickpeas, kale and macadamia nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet Treats<\/span><\/h4>\n

TOKARA\u2019s award-winning olive oil is a kitchen essential and even stars in the dessert line-up as the key ingredient in chef Carolize\u2019s shortbread served with coconut sorbet, coriander and pineapple. Other sweet treats include carrot cake with decadent white chocolate and spiced carrot ice cream, gooseberry clafoutis with basil ice cream, and dark chocolate, granadilla with cacao nib ice cream.<\/span><\/p>\n
