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…

Had to stop filming cos I was told off. The photographers would be less forthcoming if they were filmed I was told. 
Anyway @frenchpete_1 should be followed by a camera crew cos he’s a star.

She absolutely loved it. I’m enjoying seeing her experience and explore new foods with baby led weaning. Avocado, strawberries, kiwi & buttered crumpets are a hit. Pasta less so. Who is this child? Are we even related? #babyledweaning #quiche #homemadepuffpastry
Nice to be featured as The Great Read in The natio Nice to be featured as The Great Read in The national newspaper again. These are the stories I love to do: I go off on an adventure, take my time, interview people (especially women), photograph them in their environment and create recipes on site. This story cost me a lot more than I made as I had an accident and lost my excess. My own damn fault though! Loved loved loved having a campervan. Thanks for lending me it @camperdays.international and sorry about the hole in the side.  https://www.thenational.scot/news/23505593.foraging-seaweed-western-isles/

I had the awning installed, the encaustic Minton tiles removed and put back with green grout. The terrace was causing damp so this had to be done. My calamondin plant is looking lovely. The benches which I repaired with hard wood & I repainted using a mix of 2 colours. The marble table I bought in Suffolk at a car boot. Everything is still dusty & I’m waiting for the window cleaner to arrive.

Seaweed foraging at Spring tides in the Outer Hebr Seaweed foraging at Spring tides in the Outer Hebrides with @outerhebrideanforager Fi bird. She’s cutting sea spaghetti. I drove my campervan @camperdays.international from london to the Hebrides- using my gas stove to cook foraged and local ingredients. A real food safari. With the sea spaghetti I made a sea spag vongole with giant parlourdes picked up from the sand at the same time. Great fun, beautiful weather and, the day of the full moon, a wonderfully low tide. This was on south Uist.
More flavours, the flavour thesaurus is a plant-ba More flavours, the flavour thesaurus is a plant-based version of the original. Beautifully constructed, designed and written by @nikisegnit it’s vegetarian rather than vegan but recommended for both. She widens the sensory vocabulary around plant flavours in this book- encouraging new delicious sounding combinations. Now she includes new categories such as flower & meadow, caramel roasted, zesty roost- just the words make me salivate. #foodbooks #bookstagram #newbooks
Yesterday I attended @marmaladeawards @dalemainman Yesterday I attended @marmaladeawards @dalemainmansion I found out so much about marmalade. I’m going to make it this winter. I found out the worlds best maker is Japanese, in fact I was most impressed by the Japanese marmalades in general. Everyone wore orange. I must have tasted 50 marmalades. I met Paddington’s sister, karen jankel who is michael bond’s daughter, born in the same year as Paddington. She gave a charming talk on Paddington, mentioning how the queen insisted on having real marmalade sandwiches in her @launerlondonofficial handbag during the shoot. The house itself is Tudor and Georgian. I stayed in my campervan from @camperdays.international in the car park, cosy in the rain. Another freewheeling adventure. #yorkshire #marmalade #travel #food #ontheroad #campervan

And how restaurants & plane meals are now vegan rather than vegetarian. But, there are still more the double amount of vegetarians as vegans in the UK. I’ve written a vegan cookbook V is for vegan (link in bio) and am a big fan of vegan foods. I’ve not eaten meat for over 40 years. This is a sustainable diet, in terms of longevity. Vegans that I knew from the early noughties have reverted to meat eating. #newpuritanism? #vegetarian #vegan #foodwriter

I’d love to visit Ethiopia and find out more about their ancient food culture, history, 3.5k year old monarchy and religions.
