Secret Garden Club: April 15th: Med Veg: all those lovely nightshade veggies that are so hard to grow in the UK: aubergines and peppers! Then a delicious mediterranean vegetable meal: ratatouille, melanzana parmigiana, baba ganoush and pepperonata? What will I come up with? Book here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/137630 £45
April 24th: Postcards from the edge: the Natural Wine revolution. This is a meal inspired by the postcard exhibition at Large Glass gallery in North London where the meal will be held. I will have returned from Georgia where I will have visited Natural Wine growers. Smell and taste evoke memories and postcards, the popularity of which has declined in the digital age, are a souvenir of a journey as well as a nostalgic look back to an older age. (I remember when travelling, going to Post Restante to collect mail from home. I can remember the excitement of finding a bulging letter, in the dedicated section to the initial of your surname, in a Nepalese post office. It seemed magical, how these letters arrived, marked merely with ‘Post Restante, Kathmandu, Nepal’. )
The wine is curated by Natural Wine expert Isabelle Legeron “That crazy French woman” in anticipation of the RAW natural wine fair in London. We will also try unusual natural wines such as ‘orange’ wine along with the usual sparkling, red and white.
Tickets £50 including Natural Wine degustation with each course. Book here. http://www.wegottickets.com/event/161520

Thank you for the Britmums mention! I feel honoured to be highlighted next to those other people! I suspect I am tucked away in a side room for a breakout session rather than being a headline act!
