Elldrew have been on a bit of an immersive experience in the first half of 2017. We’ve eaten our way through the Chambers of Flavour , escaped a bank vault in under an hour and most recently attended Secret Cinema’s latest instalment: Moulin Rouge.

Aquavit Restaurant, London
Following a recent holiday to Sweden, with three nights at the infamous Ice Hotel (separate blog to follow) we had the opportunity to dine at the Nordic inspired, newly opened London branch of restaurant Aquavit.
Carbonnade of Beef (Flemish Stew)
One of the first recipes Ell remembers making was a Carbonnade of Beef (Carbonnade Flamande) stew, taken from a 1970’s Good Housekeeping magazine. It was a peculiar recipe for a budding young cook to attempt, a beer based beef stew for someone who wasn’t old enough to drink, but his vagarity and intrigue prevailed and …

Hotel Can Faustino, Menorca
This summer, Elldrew spent a week in Ciutadella, a historical city situated on the west coast of Menorca. Having enjoyed breaks in Ibiza and Mallorca we were excited about experiencing our last unvisited Balearic Island (Spain) so we booked ourselves in for a week’s much needed R&R at Hotel Can Faustino.
