The Menu: Kajuiter's poetry on a plate

The Menu’s fleeting notion that he might physically consume The Cliff House’s Michelin-starred chef Martijn Kajuiter’s sumptuous new cookbook, Let’s Go Disco, could perhaps be filed away as a tad irrational - and we are not simply talking about the difficulty of finding a suitable wine to pair with glossy art paper, coloured ink and pasteboard cover. But this rather erratic epicurean episode becomes somewhat more comprehensible upon viewing photographer Shane O’Neill’s exquisitely near-edible shots of Kajuiter’s extraordinary poetry on a plate. Much more sensible would be to hotfoot it to sister hotel The Cliff Townhouse, Dublin (Nov 19 & Dec 3), when Kajuiter and team showcase some of the book’s dishes in the form of a fantabulous tasting menu along with sommelier Nicki Fajd’s wine choices. Signed copies of the book available on the night.
