Beetroot, Goat Cheese and Quinoa Salad

This is no ordinary pudding – it’s a celebration of indulgence and artistry, created by world-renowned chef Philippe Mouchel. Creamy, delicately perfumed rice pudding is lifted to new heights with the subtle earthiness of truffle, while a jewel-bright orange and madeira jelly adds a refreshing, citrusy contrast. The crowning glory is a silky olive oil gelato – smooth, luxurious and unexpected – that ties the elements together with an elegant balance of richness and light. Every spoonful is a harmony of flavours and textures, crafted to delight the senses and linger long after the last bite.
