Seda Club presents a culinary proposal that invites diners to immerse themselves in a sensory journey along the legendary Silk Road. For centuries, this ancient route connected East and West, bringing with it not only precious goods like silk, but also flavors, aromas, and culinary traditions that merged into a rich cultural experience. In this tasting menu, each dish pays tribute to these cultural exchanges that shaped the development of gastronomy in Europe.
The Origin of the Silk Road and Its Influence on Gastronomy
The Silk Road was not only a trade route, but a bridge for cultural and gastronomic exchange. Along its paths, traders, travelers, and adventurers carried exotic ingredients such as rice, tea, and pasta, as well as cooking techniques that transformed European cuisine. This culinary journey is an opportunity to revive those cultural encounters through ingredients and techniques that continue to amaze us today.
Seda Club’s proposal for this month is inspired by the diversity of flavors that emerged from this exchange. This tasting menu is a journey that spans from appetizers to desserts, each designed to transport you to different stops along this mythical route.
Appetizers: An Exotic Beginning
The experience begins with two appetizers that evoke the blend of flavors from East and West:
- Ningyo-Yaki with pigeon pâté and cocoa: A bite that fuses pigeon with cocoa, representing the cultural exchange.
- Chinese bread with sliced presa and truffle: The softness of the presa combined with the richness of truffle.
Individual Starters: The Depth of Flavors of the Route
Next, two starters reflect the flavors of different regions of the Silk Road:
- Eggplant cream, nougat almond foie, and seasonal mushroom: A mix of Mediterranean textures and flavors.
- Spiced wild rice with roasted pigeon: A dish that celebrates the use of spices and rice, evoking Asian kitchens.
Main Courses: The Sea and Land at Their Best
The main courses of the menu represent the natural wealth that accompanied this journey:
- Tuna parpatana with Iberian glaze: The deep flavor of the tuna enhanced by the Iberian glaze.
- Venison loin with black tea juice, bergamot, and shiitake mushroom jam: A combination that blends Eastern preservation techniques.
