Skys Breakfast
|
Simply the best start to a breakfast. You want to come back time and time again. The Sky Ships’ smoothies are nutritious and packed full of flavour, made from locally sourced berries and wonderfully ripe avocados. All made fresh for you that morning. This smoothie recipe was adapted when the Caledonian Sky was in New Zealand for its winter cruise. I was in Napier going around the local markets and came across the amazing selection of avocados and kiwi fruits. Salmon Royale dish was taken from the traditional Eggs Benedict recipe and has varied names such as Eggs Atlantic, Eggs Hemingway or Eggs Montreal. Many thanks, Darren Marchant Head Chef – the Sky Fleet
