Week One: Global Feast 2012

1. Wednesday 25th July, West African (Opening Dinner)

Guest Chef: Chris Massamba from Full House Supper Club and Sundia Food is our guest chef for the first night of the Feast.
The food will be not only West African (and folks, a little geography lesson here, Mauritania is not the same as Mauritius) but raw and vegan. Intriguing!

2. Thursday 26th July, Mediterranean

Guest Chef: The Italian Supper Club was established in 2011 by three Italian food and wine lovers, Silvio, Chiara and Toto. Their aim is to bring the unique atmosphere and authentic flavour of the ‘Bel Paese’ to East London. Chef Toto will be making fresh pasta for 80 people. Rather him than me. Should be delicious!

Guest Chef: Italian chef Cinzia Ghignoni from The Table will also be sharing chef duties on Mediterranean night. Cinzia is the new head chef at Southwark favourite The Table, where she has just put together a modern Italian menu, using top quality British ingredients. Originally from Milan, she has been based in London for the past 22 years. Her impressive pedigree includes working with the likes of Angela Hartnett and at Soho’s Duck Soup.
