Royal Fig With Grilled Manouri Cheese

eat, salty, classical, summer, autumn, sweet, season, music

Food Notes

Royal fig from Markopoulo, Attica. Grilled manouri cheese from Larissa. Fresh basil leaves straight from my flowerpot.

A mouth-watering starter that brings together nature’s finest: the gentle sweetness of fig, the creamy saltiness of manouri, and the slightly peppery touch of fresh basil.

Escape into the essence of summer — all in a single bite.

Special thanks to Flowers Antonello for the beautiful lavender bouquet!

Music Pairing

Camille Pépin, “Apaisé boisé” (from the cd “The Sound of Trees”).

Music Bites

Camille Pépin (b. 1990) stands among the most distinguished composers of her generation. A rising star in the French contemporary music scene, her orchestral work "Apaisé boisé" offers a gently pulsating soundscape that evokes dreamlike serenity. It sings of summer and renewal, as woodwinds, brass, and strings take turns unfolding like shoots piercing the earth, reaching for sunlight. This ethereal composition is brought to life by the Orchestre de Picardie, conducted by Arie van Beek.
