Traditional cuisines from around the southern Mediterranean Sea have inspired Alex’s modern take on dishes from Italy, Greece and Turkey. His menu features: a creamy yellow split pea dip from the Greek island of Santorini; from Alanya on Turkey’s coast, spicy sucuk sausage croquettes with a biber chilli aioli; bordetto, a Sicilian-style seafood soup; Cretan tsigariasto, a raki-infused goat stew served with a classic rice pilaf; and to finish, a delicious dessert common to all three countries, mastika liqueur milk pudding with a brulee topping of caramelised sugar.
