Blanch & Shock's Residency at The Endurance in Soho

Having popped up over the years at different events and one-night-onlys (including a Burger Monday), the excellent Blanch and Shock have announced a new residency at The Endurance in Berwick Street where they will cook for most of August, including 4 ticket-only Saturday night dinners.

"After four years of cooking in tents, warehouses, offices, fields and trucks, we have found a temporary home at The Endurance on Berwick Street in Soho. For the month of August, we will be cooking small plates for lunch, revisiting and simplifying dishes we have made over the years. On Saturday nights, we will hold ticketed dinners consisting of longer tasting menus, new dishes and collaborations with guest chefs and producers. We will also be cooking a small menu of snacks at the bar
As ever, we will source the best seasonal ingredients possible, with meat and vegetables from small scale producers, sustainable fish and wild foods. Our menus will change throughout the month as the summer's ingredients change.
The dinners on saturday nights will be inspired by foods from the four compass points. The calendar and guest chefs are as follows.
August 11th - The North- Blanch & Shock
August 19th - The East - Andrew Stellitano
August 26th - The South - David Boycott
September 1st - The West - Blanch & Shock

Guerilla Science & Blanch & Shock's Brain Banquet in Dalston

For 3 days this March experimental food pioneers Blanch and Shock (earlier) are producing a 5 course dinner called the Brain Banquet, taking place within a derelict bunker in Dalston, E8.  The food will be amazing, and beyond that you have installations about the brain to explore, plus scientists to explain and discuss elements of the mind throughout the evening.  Even more intriguingly the instructions say to dress in warm clothing, and with waterproof footwear...

"Feast your senses this coming March on the most complex thing in the universe: the human brain.
From March 13 -15, Guerilla Science will transform a surviving World War Two bomb shelter into a Brain Banquet, a unique 3-day pop up dining event taking place in Dalston, East London. The derelict bunker will become a temporary world where guests will enter into an incarnation of the brain to explore with all their senses. A limited number of tickets will be available each night, featuring a five-course dining experience created by food designers Blanch & Shock.
"The brain is an endlessly intriguing subject and this is the perfect opportunity to bring food and neuroscience together,” says Guerilla Science Director Jen Wong.
“We are fascinated by the peculiar ways in which memory, perception and association alter how we experience food,” says Josh Pollen, from Blanch & Shock. The banquet will explore a variety of functions of the brain, ranging from memory and smell, synaesthesia (a condition where two senses are entwined), delve into the chemistry of the brain, and explore the aesthetics of the cerebral cortex. For daring diners, it will culminate with the serving of real brains. “Guerilla Science make it possible for people to access knowledge normally confined to laboratories,” says Pollen. “As cooks and designers with no formal scientific background, we have had the privilege of meeting with neuroscientists and surgeons who have given us insights into the functions of the brain.”
Eminent scientists will accompany the meal to discuss different facets of the mind: Dr Felicity Callard of the University of Durham will join Dr Daniel S. Margulies of the Max Planck Institute for Human and Cognitive Brain Sciences to uncover the brain’s networks and how these relate to creativity. Neuroscientist Professor Anil Seth of the Sackler Centre of Consciousness Science at the University of Sussex will reveal what science can (and cannot) tell us about consciousness. And neuropsychologist Dr Vaughan Bell of King’s College London will discuss what happens when the mind deceives us: hallucinations and delusions.
There will be five installations for the public to explore in the lead up to the banquet. In the Memory Clinic, a maze of test tubes designed by Broqwiem in collaboration with Guerilla Science, guests can share their memories. Another room will house a giant brain created by artist Agatha Haines which explores the possibilities of creativity through unorthodox brain stimulation. The Sonic Tour of the Brain will reveal what the brain sounds like. Preserved animal brains and heads on loan from the Royal Veterinary College will illustrate the evolution of the mind. A roaming magician will serve up visual illusions as mental aperitifs.
“The multi-chambered bunker provides a unique and atmospheric setting”, explains Guerilla Science Director Jen Wong. “The association of bunkers with protection and defence and a command and control centre lies behind our interpretation of the space as a ‘brain’.”"

When - Thursday 13th - Saturday 15th March, 6.30pm - 10pm

Where - The Dalston Bunker, Abbot Street, Dalston, E8 3DP

Tickets - £45 + fees from We Got Tickets here

The 'Nuclear Winter' Immersive Pop-up with Dining, Bars & more in Tottenham Hale

.

Nuclear Winter is an immersive pop-up experience at STYX in Tottenham - next to Tottenham Hale station - running from 29th November 2017 to the end of February 2018.  Based on the 1960s, and the film Dr Strangelove, it has themed bars, a cabaret, and events, and will feature food from pop-up pioneers Blanch & Shock in December, then Kino Vino in January, and chefs curated by Grub Club in February.  Dining tickets are just £55, or you can get in for just £5 (which also get you a free cocktail).

"There is a bomb lodged in our yard and only you can help us defuse it.
Running from November to February - Nuclear Winter is a yuletide festival with a cold war flavour! From Russia to America and back through Cuba we’ve got it all to make your Christmas period go with a bang.
Clamber over the iron curtain for cabaret and entertainment in our demilitarised zone or hang out with Russian babushka’s in a steamy banya, or get invited by the top brass to our Doctor Strangelove inspired CIA supper club. 
Enter our Russian atomic courtyard via the first of our manned military checkpoints, passports at the ready. 
Bathe in the glow of our  nuclear warhead, or relax with a hot toddy and mulled wine around our hammer and sickle firepit. Whether you take your Russian white, black or irradiated we've got a cocktail with your name on it.
Grab your pals and make the dangerous journey across the iron curtain into the DMZ, our American barracks where the finest cabaret and fiercest live music will be in residence.  
Join the revolution for a night of cocktails and the finest company in our Cuban enclave, or arrange a seat at the highest table in the land, with five courses of fine dining in our CIA Situation Room.
Food 
BLANCH AND SHOCK in residence in DECEMBER
For Nuclear Winter, Blanch & Shock will be cooking dishes at the meeting point of Russian and American food. What would the spy cook for herself a long way from home? What whispered anecdotes of fast food might be lost in translation? These dinners present the fission and fusion of two iconic cuisines, the journey of a Russian defector as they travel from the inner circle of the Kremlin to the Land of the Free.
Within the intimate environment curated by RIFT, Blanch & Shock will be serving five courses that evoke the sensations of a dichotomous era; pomp and paranoia with the tensions from home and abroad played out on the plate."

When - 29th November - 23rd December 2017, then into 2018
Dining is already sold out until Thurs 7th December
Weds - Sat evenings

Lidl's Free Mussel Beach Pop-up in Spitalfields

For four days Lidl will be paying homage to Scottish mussels in a 'Mussel Beach' pop-up at The Old Truman's Brewery, off Brick Lane.  It's free, but you need to book a time, and it takes place from Thursday 15th to Sunday 18th September 2016, as part of their #LidlSurprises campaign.  The chefs are Blanch and Shock, and there are also intereactive experiences to enjoy.  Get your tickets from Yplan now!

"Lidl is set to pay homage to the fascinating Scottish mussel in an interactive culinary playground that recreates a taste of Scotland’s Isle of Mull in Brick Lane this September.
Inspired by the peak of the mussel season, which runs September to March when British mussels are at their best, ‘Mussel Beach’ will recreate the stunning scenery of the Isle of Mull, where Lidl UK sources its mussels. Bringing the Isle’s Loch Spelve to the heart of London, experimental chefs from Blanch & Shock will be creating recipes using the mussels, which have been sourced straight from the Loch’s ‘A Grade’ waters, for guests to experience the diversity of the produce.
Situated just off Brick Lane, Mussel Beach is free and open to the public to explore from Thursday 15th to Sunday 18th September. On arrival at Mussel Beach, guests will be given the opportunity to gaze at the beautiful Isle of Mull’s starry night, recreated using Kinect technology*, whilst suspended on swings made from the very ropes used to catch mussels – before walking across a jetty to pause for reflection in Lidl’s very own lake, which incorporates water sourced directly from the Loch itself.
With one serving of this mouth-watering mollusc providing a third of our daily iron requirements, this seafood superfood is an often underrated ingredient in British homes. In the past year however, Lidl has seen a 40% increase in sales of its Scottish mussels, as consumer tastes increasingly turn to sustainable seafood options.
Lidl’s interactive experience pays tribute to this affordable yet luxurious shellfish, which the supermarket sources straight from the Scottish Isles. The rope-grown mussels are Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified, meaning that the molluscs are sustainably sourced. In fact, Lidl UK was recently named the MSC’s Mid-Sized Retailer of the Year, further reinforcing the supermarket’s sustainability credentials.
Not forgetting the tasting experience, cutting-edge culinary masters Blanch & Shock will be creating five unique recipes, including a dish that recreates the landscape of the Isle of Mull, using toasted oats, parsley, lemon and garlic, all within the shell of the mussel. All of the quality ingredients used to develop the delicious recipes at Mussel Beach is readily available from Lidl stores nationwide."

When - Thursday 15th - Sunday 18th September 2016
Thursday 15th, 5-9pm;
Friday 16th,
Saturday 17th, 11am – 10pm

Edible Cinema Presents Valentine's Screenings of Some Like It Hot in Shoreditch

Sorry - this one sold out within an hour of the tickets becoming available.  However there are lots of other Valentine's things to do - see here

Edible Cinema is a film experience where you eat specially created food while you watch.  Previous screenings have included Spirited Away and Beetlejuice (for Halloween).  Now they're bringing us Some Like it Hot for Valentine's week...  These sell out amazingly quickly; tickets go on sale on Thursday 31st January, and if you want to go put a reminder in your diary!

"On Sunday 17th February Edible Cinema, in partnership with Bombay Sapphire, will be showing two screenings of Some Like It Hot at the Aubin Cinema in Shoreditch. 
Hailed as one of the funniest films of all time, Some Like It Hot is the ultimate ‘Rom Com’, an iconic film peppered with classic one-liners and featuring Marilyn Monroe in one of her finest roles. Valentine’s Edible Cinema is perfect for those who want to treat their loved one to an alternative romantic date or to enjoy with a group of friends.   
Following Secret Cinema, scratch and sniff cinema and film scores re-imagined by DJs and musicians, Edible Cinema takes the experience into a new realm. It is a collaboration between Soho House, renowned  event organiser Polly Betton, experimental food designers Blanch and Shock and Bombay Sapphire mixologist Sam Carter. Two multi-sensory screenings of Some Like it Hot, Billy Wilder’s screwball comedy, will be enhanced by Edible Cinema’s integrated tasting experience.  
Edible Cinema is a unique way to experience a film: through aroma, texture and taste.  On arrival, guests will be served a  Bombay Sapphire  Colonial Cocktail, a variation on the ‘Colony Cocktail’ invented during the Prohibition era of the 1920s when the film is set. The  combination of  grapefruit juice and  dry cherry liqueur combine to create a delightful rose taste. Each guest is then supplied with a tray of numbered mystery boxes containing a bite-sized tasting menu tailored to specific moments in the film. A number corresponding to a parcel is displayed just before the crucial moment, signaling guests to get stuck in and enjoy the edible treat. 
Billy Wilder’s  legendary romantic comedy sees jazz musicians Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis escape the Chicago mob by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band who are on their way to perform in Miami. Marilyn Monroe plays ‘Sugar’, a troubled singer who gets caught up in the two musicians’ lives, and hilarity ensues. Guests can eat their way through the film's classic backdrops, from icy Chicago to the sunny Miami seaside - as the flavours, smells and textures underscore the action on screen.  Highlights include a ‘fuzzy lollipop’ when Sugar confides in Geraldine that when it comes to men she always gets ‘the fuzzy end of the lollipop’ and  ‘Champagne kisses’ consisting of smoky, booze-soaked truffles to be opened when Sugar showers Geraldine with champagne-soaked kisses aboard a borrowed yacht.  The ‘Bombay Sapphire  Spray of the Sea by the Seminole Ritz Hotel’ accompanies the ladies’ arrival at the seaside hotel and the ‘Mini Hot Bourbon Bottle’ combines Bombay Sapphire with cinnamon, crème de Cacao and a dash of vanilla recreating a bourbon flavor, which is secretly swilled from a hot water bottle on the train journey."

When - Sunday 17th February at 3pm and 6.30pm

Where - The Aubin Cinema, 64-66 Redchurch Street, Shoreditch, London E2 7DP

Armchair seats £28pp

The menu is still being tweaked, but so far includes fried pork skins, pumpkin and hazelnut grain risotto, something amazing from The Butchery, herrings, tangerines and all sorts of other stuff."

When - Sunday 29th December - Lunch is from 12.30-2pm, dinner is from 6.30-9pm

Where - Unit 19, First Avenue, Brixton Village, SW9 8PS
