5 IDEAL TIPS ON COOKING WITH GIN AT HOME

It’s no secret that the UK has developed quite a fondness for gin. We’ve even have Ginuary, whole month dedicated to it.  After tea it’s probably our national drink.  Steve Smith, Head Chef at Bohemia believes it’s time we did more with our gin and bring the spirit to the boil. If you’re apprehensive about swapping sipping for the saucepan, Steve Smith recommends how to execute gin-centric dishes at home.

Gin + Fresh Water Fish

The flavor of gin marries perfectly with fresh water fish, in particular salmon. When preparing, ensure the gin marinates into the fish by chilling in the fridge for at least 45 minutes before cooking. We serve our gin and salmon dish with cucumber and horseradish at Bohemia, which complements the fish perfectly.

Gin + Vegetables

While many serve their G+T’s with cucumber, sprigs of asparagus also serve as a tasty garnish. Why not turn this into a delectable dish and serve gin infused asparagus alongside a salad? Add ginger syrup and lemon juice for an extra zing.  

Gin + Shellfish

Gin and oysters are the ultimate extravagant flavour combination, guaranteed to impress even the most refined of diners. Simply pour gin and tonic over oysters, then season with lemon zest and a pinch of salt. 

Gin + Desserts

The options are endless when it comes to pleasing the sweet-toothed. Try a gin and tonic tart, gin and tonic cupcake or even a refreshing gin and tonic sorbet for summer. Furthermore, almost any dessert can be topped with an adults-only gin and tonic syrup made by combining caster sugar, tonic water and lemon juice in a saucepan over a low heat and adding a splash of gin and juniper berries.

Gin and Matcha

Fear not health enthusiasts – superfoods are not out of bounds. Gin and matcha is a great food marriage.  Try a simple gin and matcha cocktail, with a tablespoon of Sweet Matcha Powder, lime juice, London Dry Gin and ice.
