Global Feast during the games

July 10, 2012 Leave a Comment Filed Under: Uncategorized

Alex Haw is a nutter. But a sexy, driven, rambling, hard drinking, crazy, talented architect nutter with a split in the back of his trousers, tousled rock-star hair, and oozing with concepts and ideas. Imagine an architect version of Dennis Hopper, the caged photographer in Apocalypse Now.
And I’ve linked up with him, God save me, to put on this mega-production ‘Global Feast’ which will start on the 25th of July, ‘arriving’ in West Africa, moving incrementally, by 20 degrees each night,  across the globe in culinary terms, and featuring innovative chefs and supper clubs and ending on the 13th of August when we land in Rio. It’s easily the most exciting food event going on this games.
The table that Alex has designed will be 20 metres long, 6 metres wide in part and 2.5 metres tall (around the Himalayas). It’s a sculptural contoured depiction of our world as a table that seats 80 people.
London is multi-cultural and the food in the UK has undergone an incredible renaissance, a revolution even over the last few years. We want to celebrate that. We want visitors to Britain and London to get a whiff of authentic London. It all takes place in Stratford Old Town Hall, opposite the games.
Each night there will be food and music and talks. Most nights it will cost £55 which includes canapes, a three course meal and alcohol.

Here is the line up of chefs:

25th of July: West Africa (vegan raw food night) with wines from South Africa:

Today learning how to build a dry stone wall in t Today  learning how to build a dry stone wall in the cotswolds which is famous for the picturesque walls & hedgerows. My teacher, Richard Gray, told us about the different stones: face, foundation, pin & coping. It is a mortal ( mortar?) sun to use cement on a dry stone wall- it means the stones can’t breathe. These walls last 100 years- they cost £300 a metre. A pro can build 3 metres a day. Richard once did a quote for kylie Minogue. His firm is Hillrise stonework. This course is run by @notgroveholidays There is a world championship for drystone walling. #craft #building #drystonewall #cotswolds #staycation
