Last week I popped in to Tom's Kitchen in Chelsea for a demo by the man himself, Tom Aikens, and to sample some of the special menu the restaurant are putting on for next weekend's RHS Chelsea Flower Show. We had a lovely evening learning how to cure and poach salmon, and make various sauces to go with it, culminating in trying the dish once Tom's had prepared it for us.
As all good evenings do, we started with a delicious and refreshing cocktail - the Chelsea Gardens, made from Hendrick's gin, elderflower, cucumber and apple juice, and topped with a flower.
If you visit Tom's Kitchen Chelsea between now and Sunday 29th May you'll get to see it in it's floral glory, as it's been dressed from head to toe in beautiful flower arrangements from Lavender Green. And from 23-29th May you can also taste the floral specials on the menu.
We sampled the marinated Loch Duart salmon with grapefruit and nasturtium, which was so good that it even converted Emily, who is normally not a salmon fan!
Other dishes on the floral menu are the poached chicken lemon risotto with lemon basil and marigolds, and for the sweet tooth there's sweetened ricotta with elderflower and rose poached rhubarb, as well as all the normal dishes from the a la carte menu. So if you're in the area for the flower or just fancy soaking in some floral vibes whilst eating delicious food, make sure you head to Tom's Kitchen.

This food looks so pretty - I love how edible flowers can transform a dish (although to be fair Tom's look delicious with or without!)
