Method

First, make the garibaldi biscuits. Mix the sugar and flour in a bowl, then slowly incorporate the whites until you have a smooth paste. Fold in the currants and the toasted caraway seeds

Roll flat between 2 sheets of silicone paper until the thickness of the dough is the same thickness as the currants. Place in the freezer until frozen solid

Cook the biscuits until golden brown, then set aside until cooled
5
Cut 2 of the peaches in half and then into eighths. Remove the skins, cut each slice in half widthways and place on a tray. Place in a chamber sealer and place under vacuum to compress (not in a bag)
  • 2 blood peaches, rock peaches, or yellow peaches (in order of preference)
6
Take the other 2 peaches, peel and de-stone then purée in a liquidiser. Add a little pectin if the purée is too thin, then place in a squeezy bottle
  • 2 blood peaches, rock peaches, or yellow peaches (in order of preference)

Crack open the peach stones from 2 peaches and remove the kernel. Peel off the skin and slice thinly
8
Assemble the peach and peach purée on the biscuit, microplane the dried venison on top and then garnish by sprinkling on the marigold petals

It is always a pleasing moment when a talented apprentice steps out and succeeds on their own terms. After working as head chef at Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley for five years, Alyn Williams has done exactly that; taking over the Westbury in the autumn of 2011 and quickly winning a Michelin star, which he maintained until he parted ways with the restaurant in 2019.
