Frog on the Green weekend suppers

[buddug]

Just heard from a good foodie friend who attended one of John's Frog on the Green weekend supper club events and had a grand old time. Fabulous food and great company. I'm a great frequenter of this lovely local deli and John's a fab chef and I'll definitely be attending the next one. He told me today when I popped in for some amazing courgette fritters that his aim is to make the Frog a home from home, where people can just come and kick off their shoes, forget all their worries, and just tuck in. He's such an asset to Nunhead/Peckham so do give it a try (I love East Dulwich/Peckham's independent shops, and my philosophy is 'use it or lose it'. Hence all my veggie shopping is at Pretty's in North Cross Road, butchers at William Rose, and Franklin's Farm shop for sundries!)

He's on 0207 732 2525 if you want to book. I think they take up to 20 people from Friday eve to Sunday.

This is definitely one to look forward to . . . he is indeed a very good chef.

That sounds good. I love getting lunch to take away and eat at home. The salads are so tasty.

Hi. I'm thrilled to have been asked to post this from John from Frog on the Green for his next do:

Frog on the Green is organising a series of supper clubs every Friday and Saturday starting from Friday 10th May. It will explore the flavours and textures of South Eastern Mediterranean using the Ottoman legacy and culinary tradition as a rough geographical guide. Greece, one of the principle locations enjoys some following which its current dire offerings in the UK hardly deserve. We will try to put this right and in the process highlight treasures like Bulgarian cheeses, Turkish spices, foods cooked in embers, unusual wines and more, much more. Starting from this Friday we?ll be serving the following:

Nettle pancake, strained yoghurt, grilled peppers and feta

English asparagus, home made taramasalata, Ionian Botarga

Baked seabream, fern tips, lemon and oregano dressing

Custard and cinnamon pie

Home made Turkish delight and coffee

The price of the above menu is ?32/person. Dinner will be served from 8 pm.

Please bear in mind that at present we can only accommodate a maximum of 20 people so book early to avoid disappointment. Hope you can join us.

I don't think there's a time-frame at present. How long depends on whether the suppers are a success - which I know they will be!

[buddug]

Well, folks. I have to say. I had the Nettle pancake (woah!), strained yoghurt, grilled peppers and feta, followed by the baked seabream, fern tips, lemon and oregano dressing. Oh God, is all I can say. My favourite restaurant is the Palmerston in Lordship Lane. These suppers are well on a par but at half the price! All the subtle flavours of the dishes simply exploded in my mouth. Extraordinary.

Many thanks
