Future Events at The Underground Restaurant & #ufcm update

September 16, 2010 10 Comments Filed Under: Uncategorized

Last March I held the first Underground farmers and Craft Market at my house. It was a tremendous success. BBC Moneywatch covered it on BBC2, The Evening Standard featured it and 200 people came for the live cooking demonstrations and 38 stalls selling crafts and foods.
This time we have live music from the Spanner Jazz Punks, we are starting earlier, at midday, so people can have lunch here. We have a seating area so people can enjoy the bonfire, the band and their food.
The idea behind this ‘underground market’ is to give small start up businesses and other supperclubs a showcase to show off their talents. Most farmer’s markets charge stallholders. I’m charging people for entry to the market to enable stall holders to charge lower prices, test the market (literally) and network. 

Live cooking demos and talks:
12.15: Kitchen Jezebel will show how to make natural cosmetics.
12.45pm: Rachel McCormack of Catalan cooking will show us how to make a delicious fish dish ‘cod in samfaina sauce’ and also the difference between salted and unsalted cod.

2.15: Hiromi Stone will show how to make dashi and rice ‘the soul of Japanese cooking’.
3.00: E5bakehouse will show how to make sourdough starter
3.45 pm: HandyFace will show how to make halloumi cheese.
4.30: Lorraine of inSpiral cafe will talk about her ‘dietary journey from veggie to vegan to ‘raw-curious’ and demo her home-style raw chocs.
5.15: Dina’s Raw Supperclub will talk about sprouting.
6.15: MsMarmitelover will show how to make pain d’epi.
James of Dose coffee will be doing demos and talks on coffee throughout the day

Other events coming up:

2nd of October: probably a French influenced dinner after my trip to Paris.

9th of October, London Restaurant Festival Menu
16th of October, London Restaurant Festival Menu

24th of October another lazy lengthy Underground Lunch. Maybe with a foodie film running in the bedroom… where you can loosen belts and chill on MsMarmitelover’s bed.

13th of November a revolutionary Russian dinner. (Sold out)
20th of November, an exclusive Mongolian and foraged dinner in a yurt with salty buttery Tibetan tea (won’t force you to drink it though). This yurt was featured in one of the Open House architectural days. Feel free to wear the dodgy ethnic clothes that you once bought on holiday and which, on return to grey rainy Britain, looked utterly ridiculous.
And weekly dates up to Christmas and New Years Eve, the themes of which will be announced later.
Another comedy dining night will be announced in due course…

Pistachio cream filled mini eggs. I made my own Ea Pistachio cream filled mini eggs. I made my own Easter eggs this year. You need moulds-a lint free cloth to polish them- some good quality chocolate like @guittardchocolate - a pastry brush. Melt the chocolate drops over a bainmarie or 30 seconds in the microwave. Brush the chocolate into the moulds trying not to go over the edge and put the mould in the fridge. Once hardened and chilled, use a teaspoon to drop in the pistachio cream. Return to fridge. Warm up a baking tray in the oven. Then take the mini eggs put of the fridge and pop them out of the moulds. Place the flat side on the warm baking tray then press the two halves together. #easter #pacques #minieggs #eastereggs #chocolate #chocolaterecipe #easterrecipe #makeyourowneastereggs #supperclub #msmarmitelover #easter2021 #easterbasket #easterchocolateeggs
Ok this is super simple. A tomato & sweetcorn sala Ok this is super simple. A tomato & sweetcorn salad. Always have tons of sweet corn in your house because they make an instant salad. You can combine it with cucumber, tomato, halloumi, feta, herbs, peaches, and obviously tuna. I dressed this with lime and olive oil, but you could use a mustard vinaigrette or mayonnaise.  #simplefood #saladideas #sweetcorn #tinnedfood #lockdownlarder #covidpantry #summerfood #supperclub #thejoyoftins #Msmarmitelover
Potato and rosemary pizza with tomato & parsley sa Potato and rosemary pizza with tomato & parsley salad. Potato pizza sounds strange, after all you are double carbing. But it works. Thin soft slices of potato ( cut on a mandolin, soaked in water, then carefully dried on a tea towel) layered over day old pizza dough. ( leaving your dough a day or several just makes it deeper flavoured). A few sprigs of flowering rosemary from the garden too. I used @pomoragoodfood flavoured olive oils: the rosemary on the pizza, and garlic flavour in the salad. I also love the lemon flavour. #sundaylunch #homemadepizza #potatopizza #doublecarb #salad #simplefood #supperclub

Sometimes for dinner or lunch all I do is shove a Sometimes for dinner or lunch all I do is shove a load of vegetables on a roasting tin, toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh herbs (woody ones like rosemary) and roast. I cut the potatoes up fairly small so they all take the same amount of time. I cook on an aga which is a weighty cast iron oven where you are supposed to cook 80% of your good in the oven, and 20% on top, so this is an easy option- no preheating necessary because an aga is on all the time. Here I have aubergine, carrots, butternut squash & potatoes 🥔 . I have loads of roast veg ideas in my book V is for vegan. #vegan #vegetarian #roasting #easymeals #supperclub #aga #ovenroasted #visforvegan #msmarmitelover #londonchef

Crackers, biscuits. And a bottle of moscato d’asti. Really impressed. This will be a spring feast. £50 and you get a different seasonal on each month. They say it’s for two people but I’d say 4. A nice birthday gift. #cheese #britishcheese #cheesehamper #cheeseclub #cheesesofinstagram #hamper #gift #springsurprise #mealkits #cheeseandcrackers #wineandcheese

Moqueca stew with butternut squash & jackfruit. Ma Moqueca stew with butternut squash & jackfruit. Many Brazilian dishes are African influenced & this is no exception, deriving from an Angolan stew. Usually it is with seafood, but this is a vegan version. I used palm oil which is also very Brazilian/Angolan. It’s red because of the high levels of beta-carotene. There are environmental issues around the use of palm oil- rainforest is cut down to access it. Like coconut oil it is solid when cool and liquid when heated. I spent a few months in the sertao region of Brazil & read the magical realism fiction of Jorge Amado . One of his novels: Dona Flor and her two husbands, contains recipes. She bewitched her husbands with her Brazilian cooking. #bubblelunch #brazilianfood #sertão #moqueca #vegan #stew #angolanfood #lockdownlarder #supperclub #covidcuisine #msmarmitelover #food #homecooked
Steamed griddled Savoy cabbage wedges with butter, Steamed griddled Savoy cabbage wedges with butter, poppy seed, citrus dressing. I used to hate cruciferous sulphuric vegetables like cabbage & Brussels sprouts but now I’m addicted. In other news after 8 weeks my air boot is off (from my broken ankle) but I seem to have forgotten how to walk. Really bizarre. I’m still shuffling & limping. Will I get better?
