Holidays


Chocolate Pots with Pedro Ximenez Sherry soaked Dried Cherries


White Chocolate and Passionfruit Mousse


These are some of the desserts from our Valentine's Weekend Special. Yum! 

If you want to try some of the delicious food at Cafe Alcazar, I'm sorry, but you will need to wait...

Cafe Alcazar with be closed from Monday 24th February until Thursday 4pm 20th March. 

Trish will be taking her annual holiday overseas. She will be visiting Eastern Europe for the first time, travelling through the beautiful countries of Hungary, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. She will be visiting the picturesque French region of Alsace, where she will stay with friends, and she will also be staying with family in rural England. 

I expect that you will see many new dishes on the 'weekend special board' inspired by her travels. 

Heartwarming stews and casseroles, just in time for our cooler weather.

On the weekend



This weekend saw the 'best ever' response to our weekly specials. 

Chicken Tagine with Apricots, Prunes and Almonds
and 
Sicilian Meatballs with Risoni

I think that these dishes will be back on the menu again - very soon!

New spices



More spices have arrived this week. This range of pre-mixed spices have been very popular. Don't forget, the recipe is included in the pack,
making for an easy and delicious dinner at home.
