Smoked barbequed beetroot carpaccio, pickled salsa & parsley – A guest recipe by Tart London
9th November 2023
We were joined by the Tart London team for a seasonal supper club to celebrate the opening of The Barn, our new dining room. With ingredients sourced from the market garden at Daylesford Farm, here we share recipes from the autumnal menu.
Inspired by a love of travel around the globe as well as British towns and local farms, culinary duo Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr-Ellison, founders of Tart London and Wild by Tart, cook food with big flavours and seasonal ingredients, sustainably sourced where possible.
