REVIEW : EAT - Cafe MILK Brunch Box
When the weather outside is sweet with blue skies above and the cherry blossoms in full bloom, it calls for that wee tartan blanket to be pulled off the sofa to find a grassy spot in the garden, park or beach for a picnic.
Cafe MILK Edinburgh have taken your average picnic and stepped it up a notch, giving you the Brunch Picnic.
As you lift your sunglassed face to the sun to breathe in the warmth of the morning sunshine, tuck into this wonderful array of breakfast food and drink.
REVIEW OF CAFE MILK EDINBURGH, BRUNCH BOX
Inside the very sunshiney box you’ll find
Almond Criossants
Pan Au Raisin
Rhubarb compote with Greek yoghurt, pistachio and rose granola
Charred corn and Devon ancho chilli cornbread muffins
Seasonal fruit
Heatherfield smoked salmon
Cold press orange, tumeric and ginger juice
Santu Coffee - beans or ground. Make this before you head out
The orange juice is incredible with the tumeric and ginger kicking in on the back notes; the pastries are massive and fresh. The salmon is a perfect accompaniment to the corn bread and lovely that there are two muffins, so you don’t have to share. I’m not a massive fan of rhubarb, but this compote I’d happily tuck into again. The yoghurt and rose compliment each other so well that the rhubarb doesnt stand a chance of overpowering this bowl of creamy goodness instead it plays a part of adding tang at the end of each mouthful.

I was invited by Cafe MILK to review their Brunch Box. Food and drink were complimentary but the views are very much my own
