 +The first amuse-bouche at Smoke & Vapour playfully questions the edge between food and waste, celebrating the culture of cooking with leftovers. In this course, organic potato peel is fried and smoked to become an alternative to crisps.

-Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture. Smoke the strips in the stove smoker for a maximum of 10 minutes. Alternatively, use the smoking gun for 3 minutes. Lay them on the paper towel again. Heat frying oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Fry the strips a few at a time till crisp and golden brown. Place them back onto the paper towel and sprinkle with salt. If you don't want to serve them right a way, wait till the peel cools and set aside in an airtight container until needed, but no longer than a few days.+Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture.

 +To welcome the guests we wanted to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort, that baking (cakes) can bring about. A nut bread recipe from a Women's Weekly brought back memories of Sunday afternoons in late autumn and we trusted it would pass some of those memories to our guests. It is served with a carrot-orange syrup, a traditional flavour pairing that needs no molecular analysis to be confirmed...

 Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then add sugar and continue gently beating until dissolved. Add pistachios. Spread the mixture in a greased baking tray. Bake in the oven at moderate heat for about 30 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool. When cold place the bread in an airtight container and let stand for one or two days. Before serving, cut the bread into slices with a sharp knife. Place the slices in the oven for about 5 minutes till crisp and golden brown.
