DA NOI NEWS - Da Noi Chester

Two new Da Noi crew members

This week our news post is dedicated to our new team members, Kely and Matt.

Kely will start later this week (on Thursday) and brings her Italianness mixed to a Dominican influence, a powerful mix! She worked in several restaurants before including a few in London of a similar style and size as Da Noi. You’ll love her brightness and attention to detail!

Matt has already joined the gang a couple of weeks ago and perfectly fits with our vision and way of working. You should know that Matt’s interview at Da Noi lasted 3+ hours and ended up actually in Matt interviewing us (he had circa 40 questions all written down to ask!!). You will love his corteous manners and humour spikes!

Come visit us soon to meet our team members. To book you table visit Da Noi Chester Reservations (sevenrooms.com)

Our new video: preview

An extract of our presentation clip that will be published next week

This is Da Noi Chester.

We are now able to show you the clip that NSD have created for us. Dan and George have captured exactly the nature of our ethos and vision, and as a result this short clip is very empathetically emotional.

The story, the nature of what we do and why we do it are summarised in about 45 seconds. Powerful!

Enjoy this little clip, but stay connected for the full one coming soon..

RECIPE: Il Bunet

To shake things a little bit this week we thought about publishing the recipe of one of the most iconic desserts for us. The “Bunet” not only describes tradition, family and taste for us in the North-West of Italy. It also is one of the key dishes constantly featuring on Chef Valentina’s menu!

Like with every passionate Chef, you have to twist Chef Valentina’s arm to get her to hand out a recipe.. but here it is for you:

Ingredients (12 slices):

500g milk

170g sugar

50g cocoa

50g Amaretti biscuits + a couple more

4 eggs

Method:

‎Heat 100g of sugar with a drop of water in a saucepan, until it starts to caramelize. Pour it on the bottom of a 1 litre rectangular pudding mould. Crumble the Amaretti to very fine pieces. ‎

Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add the remaining sugar. Add the crumbled Amaretti and the sifted cocoa. Whisk everything together, taking care not to incorporate too much air, so as to obtain a smooth and homogeneous pudding, without bubbles. ‎

‎Then add the milk and continue stirring. Pour the mixture into the mould; bake it in a bain marie at 170°C for about 1 hour: the mould will have to be immersed in water for three quarters of its height.

Drain and let cool for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Flip the cake over a serving plate and garnish it with whole or crumbled Amaretti.‎

ENJOY!!

In the making of our new clip

Friday April 30th has been a very intense day at Da Noi Chester!!

We had the pleasure and the honour of having Natural Selection Design on site filming and shooting for our new promo clip. These guys work with the most acclaimed people in hospitality (Tom Kerridge, Michael O’Hare, Gary Usher for instance). They are so laid back and equally hyper professional!

It was great to share our story and vision for Da Noi Chester and get them to feel our ethos throughout the full day work-yeah, we finished at 9pm.. Dan and George will now take all the cooking scenes, the stories, the pictures and start the editing work.

We just can’t wait to see the result and share it with you!

Keep booking your tables for our reopening from May 20th using this link
