Azure restaurant @ 12 Apostles Hotel

by Jeanne Horak on October 25, 2013 6 Comments in South Africa restaurants

AzureTitle © J Horak-Druiff 2013
 

The human mind is a funny thing.  It is so good at constructing a reality based on assumptions and preconceptions that it often pays scant attention to the actual realities going on around you.  I remember arriving at Johannesburg station one day in the mid-1980s with my family and my father renting a car and insisting that he needed neither a map nor directions and that he *knew* that the Sun City resort was in this direction. 45 minutes later we found ourselves on the outskirts of Alexandra township at nightfall, hopelessly lost and as noticeably out of place as a bear in a chicken coop.  It was not a highlight of our family holidays.  Neither was the time a couple of years later when my dad refused all offers of maps and took his family for a quick stroll to acquaint them with Amsterdam, which he knew “like the back of his hand”. And the back of our hands were mainly what my brother and I were staring at in our teenage embarrassment as he wandered directly into the red light district! I vowed never to be like him – so what was I doing in Camps Bay asking a confused passer-by where the 12 Apostles Hotel was?

I had made up my mind that the 12 Apostles Hotel was the big white hotel in Camps Bay – but it’s not.  That’s the Bay Hotel.  You need to carry on driving through Camps Bay and stay on Victoria Road, hugging the coast and watching the spectacle of the 12 Apostles mountain range soaring above and ahead of you – and about halfway between Camps Bay and Llandudno, just when you think “surely we’ve gone too far?”, the 12 Apostles suddenly comes into view on your left, perched in solitary splendour against the mountainside.  The hotel is a one of the Red Carnation group of hotels, a collection of sixteen award-winning luxury  family-owned and run boutique hotels, located in the UK, South Africa, Switzerland and the USA. The group was founded by South African-born Bea Tollman and her husband  and has since the mid 1970s established a reputation for timeless décor, exceptional locations, highly personal guest care, and celebrated cuisine – and the 12 Apostles is no exception. This boutique hotel with only 70 rooms enjoys some of the best panoramic views in the Cape, an award-winning restaurant, a spa (with a glass treatment room perched on a rocky outcrop with spectacular views) and a cinema – but is still only a 15 minute drive from central Cape Town and only 5 minutes from Camps Bay’s glorious golden beach.

But we were not there for the beaches – we had come to dine at the hotel’s flagship restaurant Azure, which makes a regular appearance on restaurant awards lists.  The restaurant is situated on the first floor above the lobby and is decorated in shades of dark royal blue and white.  It’s a perfectly attractive room, but too fussy for my taste. I felt that the abundance of heavy drapes (presumably to enclose tables for private dining areas?), pictures on the walls, and vases and other knick-knacks in blue provide an unwelcome distraction from what should be the main attraction:  the outstanding view. Nevertheless, we were more than happy with our corner table by the window from where we could watch the last rays of the sun slipping into the ocean.  After we had been seated by our exceptionally personable waiter, we had the pleasure of meeting the executive chef, Henrico Grobbelaar,  an engagingly intense young man who had swapped a career in engineering for a career in the kitchen and gone on to win the Sunday Times Chef of the Year in 2009. He explained that the menu was made up of two distinct parts, namely classics and old favourites (some made to Mrs Tolman’s personal recipes), and more contemporary “Cape cuisine with a modern approach”. Having experienced some of the more traditional dishes when I dined at the Milestone Hotel in London, we opted for a 4-course tasting menu of the more modern dishes. There is also an extensive wine list of overwhelmingly South African wines, a good selection of French Champagnes, and a sprinkling of foreign wines.  A nice touch is the availability of various flights of wine centred around a theme, as well as sommelier Gregory’s suggestions of wines to pair with items from the menu. As Nick was driving, he could not drink, so I kept him company with just a glass of Buitenverwachting Riesling.

Excellent bread with olive oil for dipping was followed by an amuse bouche of Springbok loin and vibrant, golden sweet potato puree – a lovely sweet contrast with the peppery meat.  For my starter I chose the Norwegian salmon (R85.00) which consisted of citrus-cured salmon ceviche, green goddess dressing, red onion and fennel salad, miso mayonnaise and a shard of crisp olive ciabatta.  I loved how this appeared to be casually strewn across the plate, but with the attention to detail evident en every artful blob of mayo.  Taste-wise, it was wonderful – oily,  rich salmon balanced by tangy citrus  and crisp ciabatta, with the miso mayonnaise adding an umami kick.  I neglected to write down what Nick’s first course was but if memory serves, it was pork three ways with apple and mustard.  Despite the rather feminine, pretty plating, this was a plate full of butch flavours as pork was served in the form of a coarse-textured terrine; rillettes; and paté, paired with slivers of crisp Granny Smith apple and blobs of mustard mayo and apple jelly.  Nick loved it.

Next, I had the prawn risotto (R110.00) with clarified crayfish bisque.  The rice was mounded up to form a small well into which the clarified crayfish bisque had been poured, and topped with two grilled prawns.   This was probably the least impressive dish we had.  To be sure, the prawns were juicy and delicious, but the risotto was too dry and lacked real depth of flavour, while the clarified bisque, rather like clarified butter, was greasy without being particularly flavoursome. Also, considering the price of rice, it seemed hard to justify the price tag here, or the mean portion of risotto. Far better were Nick’s s scallops (R140.00) which came nestled on a bed of creamed celeriac, soy marinated shiitake with white shimeji with a soy truffle vinaigrette. I loved the arrangement on the plate and Nick loved the juicy scallops – but what we both swooned over were the fantastic marinated mushrooms.  A wonderfully delicate yet earthy plate.

This was followed by a palate-cleanser served with flair in a neat bit of table theatre.  Two spheres of very good raspberry sorbet were brought to the table together with a small jug into which our water poured a liquid to activate the dry ice in the jug, creating this rather fetching icy tableau on our table.  No, there was no culinary need for it.  Yes, I still thought it was pretty cool!

Things got back on track with the next course.   I chose the Cape Fish du jour (R165.00) which came with white asparagus, porcini mushrooms, cauliflower purée and smoked potato.  Sadly, I managed not to write down what the fish was, but it may have been Cape Salmon? In any event, the firm white fish flaked into perfectly cooked translucent flakes at the touch of a fork and made a subtly delicious partner for the smoky potato and rich cauliflower puree.  An indulgent yet surprisingly light dish – and the intricate plating once more intrigued me.  Carnivore Nick chose the beef fillet (R165.00) which came with black eggplant, white carrot and roasted onion purée and variation of carrot and potato Nicola.  The beef was juicy and pink but the highlight was the black eggplant – a deeply smoky charred eggplant puree that blew us both away.  Bonus points also for the darling little carrot coins and roasted onion puree adding a touch of sweetness.

Nick is not much of a dessert person, but our charming waiter persuaded him to try the crème brûlée (R75.00).  Rather than being served in a traditional ramekin, this was served in an elegant long, thin dish which provided a major advantage:  a higher crunchy-caramel-topping-to-custard ratio! Having tasted it in London, I was keen to sample Bea’s Cheese Cake (R90.00) again, with its crème fraîche topping, strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries.  From my London experience I knew that it would be tasty… but nothing prepared me for the sheer whimsical prettiness of the plating!  The slice of cake itself sad on a green plate amidst shards and impossibly thin slices of strawberry that resembled nothing as much as red flower petals scattered across a green lawn by a summer breeze.  To say I was enchanted would be an understatement. And the cheesecake was as unctuously rich and decadent as it had been in London! To finish the evening, together with our coffee we were served an exquisite plate of sweet morsels, including lemon mini macarons, passion fruit jellies and chunks of lemon shortbread, all in shades of yellow and beautifully plated.

Since our visit, chef Henrico has sadly moved on to other projects, but I believe that his second-in-command Christo Pretorius (who came second in the prestigious Sunday Times Young Chef of the Year competition in 2012) is now the Executive Chef at Azure.  Having worked in the kitchen with Henrico for six months, I am sure that he will be keeping the culinary flag flying at Azure with equal gusto while putting his own stamp on the menu.  The meal would probably not have been to your taste if you are a meat-and-two-veg kinda person who equates value solely with volume, but if (like me) you believe that one eats with one’s eyes first, it was a sensory delight. At R425.00 for 4 courses or R495.00 for 5 courses, it’s not cheap in Rand terms but to be fair, you are sitting in a 5-star hotel.  And when you convert the prices to foreign currency (£27/$43 for 4 courses or £31/$50 for 5 courses) it becomes positively affordable.

      Camps Bay is too gorgeous… And I find that pretty much all fine dining in South Africa is ridiculously well-priced if you are paying in foreign currency, especially when you compare it to an equivalent meal in London!

    We had a wonderful breakfast there. Sat outside with a view of the sea and mountains. It was expensive but one got ones money worth – champagne, oysters, pastries etc just about everything you could think of. It was not very busy and I am sure you could go when a beautiful morning turns up as it is nice to be able to sit out.

      Thanks for visiting Audrey 🙂 I definitely think if I went again I would go for lunch and sit outside on the terrace – that’s the way to make the best of the view for sure!

    From those fine photos it looks like a mighty fine location. I was expecting something rather outlandish price-wise but given the conversion rate it seems excellent value!

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above. 

What do you like to do with blood oranges? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
