Spring into summer

The Earth Laughs in Flowers is the name of Chantel Dartnall’s stunning summer 2018 menu at Restaurant Mosaic at the Orient Hotel in Elandsfontein, Pretoria. It’s rated one of the finest restaurants in Africa and the menu, with which Dartnall pays homage to Mother Nature, features the chef’s signature Botanical Cuisine, using only the best seasonal produce. ‘From the Frozen Ocean’, a magical piece of culinary theatre in which Arctic salmon is prepared in front of the diners, is a real treat, while ‘Cherry Blossom’, showcasing duck wings and lightly smoked duck breast with luscious cherry flavours, is also likely to become a firm favourite.
