DATES: Tuesdays to Sundays

Julie Lin

GAGA, GLASGOW

Juggling a burgeoning TV presenting career with the opening of her second runaway success story, Gaga, Glaswegian Julie Lin has fast become one of the busiest women in the industry. Weaving in the Nyonya flavours of her childhood trips to her grandmother’s in Malaysia, the packed out ‘kitchen and bar’ shines a light on the hybrid Chinese-Malay flavours that made her first restaurant, Julie’s Kopitiam, such a cult hit.
DATES: 6th - 10th June

Matteo Morbini

ITALY

One of Italy’s brightest young talents, the hyper talented Tuscan joins us for five nights of wonderfully imaginative cooking that reflects both his classical Italian fine dining roots as well as his formative years in world renowned kitchens from Sydney to London. Next up? An exciting new solo project in NYC. But first, a five night spin on the Carousel.
DATES: 13th - 17th June

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢 ITALY 13th - 17th June @matteomorbini is a chef who’s going places. One of Italy’s brightest young talents, the hyper talented Tuscan joins us ahead of the launch of his next project in New York. Raised on the classics in some of Italy’s most respected fine dining kitchens, Matteo supercharged his culinary education with formative stints in Sydney, working for Peter Gilmore at Quay, and London, where he trained under legends like Alyn Williams and Gordon Ramsay. The result is a wonderfully imaginative style of his own that plays fast and loose with the doctrine while still remaining rooted in all the things that we love about Italian food. Think zucchini ‘alla scapece’, wild nettle, chinotto; cappelletti pasta ‘ajo,ojo e peperoncino’; and chestnut ‘bomboloncino’, homemade ricotta, pickled elderflower. Matteo’s philosophy is all about maximum respect for his chosen ingredients. That and staying humble. With fans including the legendary Tom Colicchio – they just did a pop-up together in NYC – let’s see how long he’s able to keep his feet on the ground. Swipe to read the menu for Matteo's week with us and head to the link in bio to book in.

 Let's talk about this chicken.  New to the wine bar menu, we marinade free-range chicken overnight in shio koji and guajillo paste, then cook on the grill until deliciously charred and smoky. It's then served with Swiss chard a pickled celery salsa.  Add on a side of potatoes and salads and that's your Sunday lunch sorted.  We're open from midday. Swing by and see us or book in via the link in our bio.

We’re part way through another eye-opening fortnight of exciting Mexican cooking with @humoduran On a mission to celebrate the traditional flavours of central Mexico, Oaxaca and the Yucatán, Hugo’s menu features show-stoppers like his super tender steamed octopus with chilli oil, salsa macha and buttery confit Jersey Royal potatoes; flavour-packed chargrilled sea vegetable & enoki mushroom bouquets brushed in an umami tare and served with ant mayo for dunking; delicate seafood tartare with homemade crisps; a super fresh pea, broad bean and lime fish aguachile; Dominican tostadas and many more. There’s still a few chances left to try Hugo’s food this Friday (if you’re quick) as well as next week Tuesday - Saturday. Head to the link in bio to book yourself in.

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐧 GAGA, GLASGOW 6th - 10th June We first met Glaswegian @julielincooks last year when she joined us for our International Women’s Day series celebrating the finest female chef talent in the land. We were blown away by her infectious enthusiasm and her explosive Malaysian flavours. One night was nowhere near enough. Finding a date for a return trip has proven difficult. Julie has since become one of the busiest women in the industry, juggling a burgeoning TV presenting career with the opening of her second runaway success story, @gaga.glasgow, on Glasgow’s Dumbarton Road. Weaving in the Nyonya flavours of her childhood trips to her grandmother’s in Malaysia, the packed out ‘kitchen and bar’ shines a light on the hybrid Chinese-Malay flavours that made her first restaurant, Julie’s Kopitiam, such a cult hit. Joining us for five nights this time (phew), Julie will be showcasing Gaga hits like 'cucur udang' prawn & sweetcorn fritters, pickled chilies; 'sambal lala' chilli clams; and slow-cooked lamb rendag, pickled okra, pandan turmeric rice. Her wifi at GaGa is called ‘GaGa Ooh La La’. We couldn’t agree more.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐨 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧 SOSOKI, MEXICO CITY 16th - 27th May Hugo Durán is a captivating character. As a chef with proudly indigenous roots, he has developed an unmistakable culinary language of his own, inspired by his travels through central Mexico, Oaxaca and the Yucatán, and his lifelong fascination with the biocultural diversity of his homeland. Throughout his career, Hugo has made it his mission to celebrate Mexico’s indigenous cultures on the plate. Ka’an, nestled in the national park just outside of Tulum, started out as a pop-up. A solitary hut with a stove, where he would cook whole animals or the day’s catch over fire for friends. It quickly evolved into an entire village community where Mayan is the lingua franca and, as Food 52 put it so beautifully, “the pursuit of tradition and technique is evident in every element of the restaurant”. Hugo’s food is made for sharing, the central tenet of the culinary culture he lives to celebrate. Dishes like ‘Tikin Xic Mayan Roasted Turbot, ‘Yanikeke’ Dominican Tostada’; ‘Pulpo Diablo, Jersey Royal Confit’; and ‘Hibuscus Nicuatole, Lemon & Cactus Sorbet’ are as delicious as they are beautiful. Now back in Mexico City, Hugo is working on new project Sosoki, teaming up with chef Xarem Guzman and a group of architects to explore alternative models of hospitality and design in the capital. Following his spectacular first residency with us last year, we can’t wait to welcome Hugo back into the Carousel family for another fortnight of awe-inspiring, tradition-led Mexican cooking.
