For The Marylebone Menu, chefs from seven of the area’s finest restaurants—Michelin-starred restaurants Texture and Trishna, newcomer Xier and established local favourites The Providores and Tapa Room, Chiltern Firehouse, Roux at the Landau and Bernardi’s—will be serving up a multi-course menu that demonstrates the depth of talent and breadth of inspiration found within the local dining scene. The dinner—tickets for which sold out within hours of its launch—will be accompanied by bread from GAIL’s Bakery, concluded with cheese and port from La Fromagerie, chocolates from Rococo and coffee from The Montagu Kitchen, and washed down with drinks from The Coach Makers Arms, 108 Brasserie, Marylebone Gin, Philglas & Swiggot, Le Vieux Comptoir, Vinoteca and Daylesford. And all of this will happen not in some large, soulless purpose-built catering unit designed to accommodate such an undertaking, but in St Mary’s Church London, a beautiful Georgian church. In this atmospheric setting, guests will dine on long, elegantly-decorated communal tables, and their feasting will be soundtracked by live music from the Marylebone Music Festival brass quartet. 5 — marylebonefoodfestival.com 6 — marylebonefoodfestival.com 24 25 SECRET LONDON BOOK FOOD MATTERS SUPPERCLUB CHOCOLATE & WINE TASTING MEET THE NEIGHBOURS: SIGNING The London Clinic Philglas & Swiggot COFFEE WITH DINNY HALL The George Bar 20 Devonshire Place, 22 New Quebec Street, The George Bar Durrants Hotel, W1G 6BW W1H 7SB Durrants Hotel, 32 George Street, thelondonclinic.co.uk philglas-swiggot.com 32 George Street, W1H 5BJ W1H 5BJ durrantshotel.co.uk The London Clinic, one of the Over the past few years, food durrantshotel.co.uk country’s top private hospitals, is lovers have become ever more With its wood-panelled walls, hosting a series of supper clubs atuned to the nitty gritty of how Join neighbourhood jeweller plunging leather seats and club- themed around the nutritional food gets from our fields to Dinny Hall for a morning of like atmosphere (of the private benefits of food.

    Food & Wine June 2013 The Journal of The International Wine & Food Society Europe & Africa Committee Free to European & African Region Members - one per address - Issue 115 A Message from Mark Price - Waitrose MD Celebrating International Picnic Day The History of Cocktails © Brittany Ferries 1 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Members, Writing to you at three monthly intervals certainly brings home how quickly they pass. For Eve and me this period has seen relocation from our home of 39 years to something smaller, albeit within sight of the previous property. We were pleased to be able to find time to attend events of both the Manchester and the Merseyside & Mid-Cheshire branches, including their respective Annual General Meetings. I write this near the end of April and we are looking forward to attending a Liverpool branch event for the first time. Terry Lim and friends are to be congratulated on building that branch into a viable entity in a short space of time. Congratulations are also due to the Zurich branch for organising a very successful break in the Lake Maggiore area this April. That leads me to mention news of some other areas where prospects are being nurtured. Experience has taught us that a promising start is no guarantee of getting sufficient members for a provisional charter to be granted but Latvia and Athens are two possibilities. So also is Munster and in that connection, if you have friends who live in or around Cork who might be interested in joining a branch in that area then please pass details to Katie Wilkins (contact notes appear next to the Editorial) so that they can be notified of developments.

  • Game Recipes for Charity Chefs
    VERSION 4 THE COUNTRY FOOD TRUST GAME RECIPES FOR CHARITY CHEFS The Country Food Trust is a charity food producer making top quality protein based read meals in ambient pouches which we donate to charities that feed people in need. Currently we have three products : The Country Casserole, a nutritious and warming pheasant casserole The Country Curry, a mildly spicy pheasant curry The Country Bolognese, a rich and tasty venison ragu. Since inception in 2015 we have produced over 1.9 million meals, which are donated to those in food poverty through charities that feed people in need or through amazing charities like FareShare who distribute food nationwide to other charities. We have now started to work with charities that can accept frozen game meat and make great fresh meals for their customers. To help chefs who may not be familiar with game our Chef Tim Maddams has reached out to a host of well-known and expert game chefs and asked them to produce recipes using either minced, diced or whole pheasant or partridge breasts and minced venison using ingredients likely to be found in a charity kitchen and able to be prepared in a kitchen with limited equipment. All of them gave their time freely to produce these recipes and top food photographer James Murphy did the photography free of charge. We were delighted with the response and thank them all profoundly - even if one or two of the chefs found the simplicity of the request a challenge! We hope the following pages will give you some ideas that will help you prepare delicious food for those that you are looking after.

But those dishes I remember in technicolour. as Proust noted on eating a petit madeleine* with his tea, food escorts us back in time and shapes our memory. the distinct flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques that we experience in other spaces and times are also a gateway to the culture in question. What we ate in a certain place is as im- portant, if not more so, than the other things we did there – visits to galleries and museums, walks, tours – because food quite literally gives us a taste of everyday life. Whenever I go abroad my focus is on finding the food most typical of wher- ever I am, and the best examples of it. Food typifies everything that is different about another culture and gives the most authentic insight into how people live. everyone has to eat, and food is a common language.
