A Gastronomic Tour along the Silk Road in Seda Club
Seda Club presents a gastronomic proposal that invites diners to immerse themselves in a sensory journey along the legendary Silk Road. For centuries, this ancient road connected East and West, bringing with it not only precious commodities such as silk, but also flavours, aromas and culinary traditions that merged into a rich cultural experience. In this tasting menu, each dish pays tribute to these cultural exchanges that marked the development of gastronomy in Europe.
The Origin of the Silk Road and its Influence on Gastronomy
The Silk Road was not only a trade route, but also a bridge for cultural and gastronomic exchange. On its routes, traders, travellers and adventurers brought with them exotic ingredients such as rice, tea and pasta, as well as cooking techniques that transformed European gastronomy. This culinary journey is an opportunity to relive these cultural encounters through ingredients and techniques that still amaze us today.
Seda Club's proposal for this month takes as its inspiration the diversity of flavours that emerged in this exchange. This tasting menu is a journey from appetizers to desserts, each designed to transport you to different stops on this mythical journey.
Appetizers: An Exotic Beginning
The experience begins with two appetizers that evoke a blend of Eastern and Western flavours:
Pigeon pâté and cocoa Ningyo-Yaki: A bite that fuses pigeon and cocoa, representing cultural exchange.
Chinese bread with sliced prey and truffle: Softness of the prey combined with the richness of the truffle.
Individual Starters: The Route's Depth of Flavours
Here are two starters that reflect the flavours of different regions along the Silk Road:
Aubergine cream, foie nougat almond and seasonal mushroom: A mixture of Mediterranean textures and flavours.
Spiced bush rice with roast pigeon: A dish that celebrates the use of spices and rice, evoking the cuisines of Asia.
Main Dishes: Land and Sea at their Best
Local and Sustainable Products
The hotel's gastronomy is also aligned with its commitment to sustainability. At Seda Club, tradition and the avant-garde merge through a selection of the best local gastronomy with an international twist. We prioritise the use of local and seasonal produce in our cuisine, supporting local farmers and producers and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation. For example, the wine we serve is from Granada and we offer free range eggs. The menu reflects the rich culinary heritage of the region, offering fresh and healthy dishes that guests can enjoy with the peace of mind of knowing they are contributing to a sustainable economy.
The main dishes on the menu represent the natural richness that accompanied this journey:
Bluefin tuna parpatana with Iberian glaze: Deep flavour of the tuna enhanced by the Iberian glaze.
Fallow deer loin with black tea juice, bergamot and shitake mushroom jam: A combination of oriental preservation techniques.
The Sweet Closing of the Route: Desserts and Petit Fours
To round off the trip, the menu offers a selection of desserts:
Pre-dessert: Kamado halloumi cheese with dill, cucumber and lime meringue.
First dessert: Citrus soup with mint ice cream.
Second dessert: Baba with Montero coffee rum, stewed banana and vanilla ice cream.
Petit Fours: These include Arabian chocolate bow tie, passion fruit and mango mochi, and sweet porridge and honey filipino.
For those wishing to elevate their experience even further, Seda Club offers the option of a carefully selected wine pairing to accompany each course on the menu.
