WIN two tickets to celebrate Nora Ephron at The Lexi on Sunday 27th January

Published by

Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail), one of the greats of the film and comedy world, sadly passed away last year. Her best films became cultural moments, with characters, scenes and lines that live far beyond the films themselves. From 24th-27th January, The Loco Film Festival is focusing on women in comedy and has teamed up with The Lexi Cinema for a special tribute to Nora. The Ephrathon, on Sunday 27th January, will showcase three of her best-loved films, one from each era of her career: Heartburn (starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson), Sleepless in Seattle and her award-winning final film Julie and Julia, which stars Streep alongside Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci. Guests can also take part in a fruit pie competition, which will be judged by Sophie Grey of Crazy Baker. The winner will receive a signed copy of Sophie’s book ‘Let’s Make Whoopies’ and a year-long membership for The Lexi Cinema. Food for Think is giving you the chance to WIN two tickets to the event …

The Waldorf Project: Chapter One / Muskmelon

Published by

In a nutshell The Waldorf Project is an art performance by artist Sean Rogg that creates an immersive dining experience on a grand stage intended to connect the senses through food, drink, dance, sound, and environment. It is a journey from the best that nature can create, to the higher state of perfection when combined with the artistic mind of man. Guests will experience a new concept of dining synchronized with precious wines presented in a magical and unique way. The idea is to connect everything with the concept. It will flow through all aspects of the performance, from sound to environment. Theme Each of the collaborators has been chosen by Sean Rogg specifically for their imaginative approach to the theme – the rare Japanese muskmelon – as well as their readiness to break boundaries through the most fundamental fusion of their diverse disciplines. From gastro-scientists and food designers to choreographers and sound artists, The Waldorf Project unifies distinct arts to create a unique and fully immersive experience for their guests.

ANNOUNCEMENT – Eat the Olympics supper club

Published by

Eat the Olympics Supper Club 28 July – 11 August London, W10 (venue to be revealed on purchase of ticket) In January 2012 we (Jack Hemingway and Sarah Kemp) embarked on an Olympic culinary challenge – to eat a dish from every single country taking part in the London 2012 games. We were quick out of the blocks, completing thirty dishes in the first two weeks but this is a marathon not a sprint and in recent times we have been somewhat off the pace. The recent purchase of our Queens Park flat slowed things down and it now sits empty while we await planning permission. With the help of our crafty fingered friends and family we have transformed the space into our very own Olympic themed pop-up restaurant. Now we need your help to make it over the final hurdle before the summer is out and Olympic Games have left town. Over three weekends during the London 2012 Olympic Games, we invite you to join us at our Eat the Olympic Supper Club where …

The Empress, London

Published by

Since I moved to London six and a half years ago, my Sunday activities have changed somewhat. My first two years, when I was a young and spritely student, I spent my Sundays wallowing in self-pity after a heavy night on the tiles. The years since have pretty much been spent in the kitchen baking or cooking a Sunday feast. But despite being from the north (well, Nottingham), I rarely cook a Sunday roast. Don’t get me wrong, I have attempted a few but after five hours slogging away in the kitchen, not to forget the piles of washing up that come after, I have never really enjoyed the fruits of my own labour. I much prefer to go out and let someone else do the hard work for me. We took a trip to Victoria Park Village a few weeks ago to The Empress to indulge in a Sunday feast. The weather outside was miserable and as usual not making its mind up. We encountered a few showers before entering the restaurant but once …
