"The Wandering Chef is transforming the private room at The Crown, Southwark into their very own Pop-Up Parisian night.
Not just any old night however! Imagine a turn of the century Parisian bistro; think
Toulouse Lautrec, Absinthe, and a Coupe de Champange; The kind of place Hemingway may have taken Fitzgerald for a drink, given half a chance. Not only will the wine flow, but the table will be an array of French classics given a Wandering Chef edge."

'Sunday Papers Live' Daytime Festival near Camden
http://www.londonpopups.com/2013/05/sunday-papers-live-daytime-festival.html

It's being organised by Secret Garden Party and Wilderness, and if you've ever been to any of their events you'll know to expect something eclectic.
You get talks and analysis of news and culture from people like Jon Ronson, Gavin Turk and Katharine Hamnett, while you eat food from the Forgotten Feast chef, and it's all in Cecil Sharp House, home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

8 Questions with...
Peter Butler from After Hours Dessert
http://afterhoursdessert.com/
Appearing at Allpress Espresso, Redchurch St, in May & June
I can’t live without my...
Global knives. Bought them 10 years ago, and still the single best kitchen investment I've ever made.
5 years ago I was...
At university. Probably sleeping through a lecture.
Have you forgotten how good they taste?
Fish & chip shop scraps. A reminder of my Yorkshire childhood. Do they even exist in London? Not sure.
My favourite local pub is...
I live in Bethnal Green, so: The Florist for a beer; Sebright Arms for a beer & a burger; The Empress for a beer, wine, 3-courses & coffee.
My favourite local restaurant is...
Tas Firin on Bethnal Green Road. No hype, just simple, affordable, tasty Turkish food.
http://www.tasfirin.co.uk/
My favourite person on Twitter is...
Not really a person, but Accidental Partridge (@accidentalp) always tickles me. Definitely prefer a good comedy account to someone tweeting their every movement.

I’d love to bring Artisan American-style doughnuts to London
Think Doughnut Plant / Dough / Voodoo Doughnuts / Dynamo Donuts in the US. I had a doughnut revelation in New York last year and would love to bring them to London.
Who should be on TV?
Ben Spalding would be great. It's time that the Great-British-Menu-Saturday-Kitchen crowd moved aside and some of the many young, talented, original chefs leading the London scene took over.
Next Week - Asma Khan from Darjeeling Express
