A team commitment recognised by the industry

Start with one plate
Choose a dish your team knows well. Give one seasonal ingredient a clear role, then test the plate as a whole. Keep the method easy to repeat and the description easy to say. A small, well-considered addition can give the team a useful starting point for the next menu conversation.
