The Circle Selection

Harvest Sun

A reactive amber glaze, wheat through burnt ochre, breaking to deep indigo at the foot. The glaze moves in the kiln, so every piece carries its own gradient.

The glaze

Amber over indigo

Wheat · amber · burnt ochre · slate indigo

Amber over a darker base. In the second firing the two move against each other — pooling pale and speckled in the well, deepening to rust at the rim, flooding blue-black around the foot. Two plates from the same firing share a palette, never a gradient.

On the plate

Plating Harvest Sun

What it flatters

Roasted and braised dishes, game, grilled fish, aubergine, squash. Warm-toned food holds together in the amber well.

Contrast that works

Green and white lift sharply — herb oils, labneh, blanched greens. Deep reds disappear into the rim.

Building a table

Pairs with the darker Circle finishes through the indigo foot. Most kitchens run it as the warm half of a two-finish table.

In service

Two dishes on Harvest Sun

Short enough to hand to a section chef.

Ricotta gnocchi with sage butter and hazelnuts, plated in a ring on a round Harvest Sun coupe

On the coupe

Ricotta Gnocchi, Sage Butter & Hazelnut

Serves 4 · 40 minutes

250g drained ricotta · 1 egg yolk · 60g plain flour · 40g grated Parmesan · nutmeg · 80g butter · 12 sage leaves · 40g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped · sea salt

  1. Beat the ricotta with the yolk, Parmesan, a grating of nutmeg and a good pinch of salt. Fold in the flour until it just holds — the less you work it, the lighter it stays.
  2. Roll into a 2cm rope on a floured board, cut into pillows and rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
  3. Poach in barely simmering salted water for 90 seconds, until they rise. Lift out and drain well.
  4. Foam the butter with the sage until it smells nutty, then turn the gnocchi through it to colour. Plate in a loose ring, scatter the hazelnuts and crisp sage, finish with Parmesan and flaky salt.

Ring plating leaves the throwing rings at the centre visible.

Sliced wagyu striploin with chimichurri and charred onions on a long Harvest Sun tray

On the long tray

Sliced Wagyu Striploin, Chimichurri & Charred Onions

Serves 2 to share · 45 minutes

400g wagyu striploin · 2 banana shallots, halved · 2 green chillies · flaky salt
Chimichurri: a large bunch of flat parsley · 1 clove garlic · 1 tsp red wine vinegar · ½ tsp dried oregano · 60ml olive oil · chilli flakes

  1. Salt the striploin and leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Chop the parsley and garlic fine, mix with the oregano, vinegar, chilli flakes and oil, and let it sit while you cook.
  3. Sear the shallots cut-side down in a dry, very hot pan until black at the edges. Add the chillies for the last minute.
  4. Sear the beef hard on all sides to rare, rest for eight minutes, then carve across the grain.
  5. Lay the slices down the length of the tray, draw the chimichurri alongside, add the onions and chillies, and finish with flaky salt.

Dark meat needs the amber underneath to read. The chimichurri does the lifting — a green line, not a pool.
