Summer: the taste of the outdoors
The Taste of the Outdoors The salmon flesh is soft, flaking away easily in pastel pink segments with the gentlest nudge of your fork. The Jersey royals are piping hot and buttery. A side salad of garden green runner beans, dressed with olive oil and a dash of white wine vinegar is ready and waiting. But the taste of summer truly comes when you pick up your plate and carry it out through the patio doors into the sun-soaked garden. With that gentle step past the walls of the house that encircle the inside like a protective membrane, you are transported to a new culinary land, a land where food sounds like the hum of the bees and butterflies around you. A land where food smells like green things growing in the rich dark soil. A land where food tastes, quite simply, like summer on a plate.

Silene was the heart of the Shadowlands, a place of violence against the innocent. A place of betrayal and of blood.
