'Around The World in One Plate' Supper Club in Hoxton


This intriguing idea - taking ingredients sourced from over ten different countries - will create the menu for the London Foodies Supper Club in Hoxton later this month.  To attend you first need to tweet your interest to @foodundearthed  The chef is Tim Anderson, who also cooked at the excellent Delicious by DS5 last month

"Boasting an eclectic mix of unusual ingredients from countries such as Greece, Italy, Iberia, China, New Zealand, Ecuador and South Africa, MasterChef 2011 winner, Tim Anderson has teamed up with foodie explorers unearthed® to create the first-ever culinary tour around the world on one plate.
Inspired by a snack from Anderson’s childhood in America, the s’more – a campfire treat made by sandwiching toasted marshmallows between two biscuits with a piece of chocolate – the ‘Around the World on One Plate’ recipe is a savoury interpretation of this snack and features a savoury marshmallow on a biltong twig, served with loin of lamb and dressed with a rich chocolate and port sauce.  
Anderson worked closely with unearthed® to create the unique savoury marshmallow blend, a hero ingredient within the dish, using its Greek Goat’s Milk Balls.   Tim Anderson comments: “I love experimenting with ingredients and was really excited about the idea of creating a savoury version of a well known American campfire treat.  
“Trying to source the appropriate ingredients to ensure we got the correct consistency for the savoury marshmallow was a really exciting challenge and the unearthed® Goat’s Milk Balls were the perfect texture and flavour to compliment the lamb and chocolate.” 
Simon Day, Brand Manager at unearthed® comments: “If you are a keen explorer and love unearthing new flavours and cuisines than this is the perfect dish for you!  Some of the finest quality ingredients from around the world have been used to create the ultimate worldly experience that you can replicate in the comfort of your own kitchen.” "

When - 27th - 28th June

The Big Smoke BBQ in Fulham


The Big Smoke Barbecue is popping up at The Elk Bar near Fulham Broadway this summer.

"The Big Smoke BBQ is set to arrive in London, bringing the best of al-fresco cooking to Fulham with the first ever use of the ground-breaking Primo BBQ in the capitol. Promising to serve an array of summer favourites and several innovative tobacco and beer infused cocktails for a BBQ unlike any other seen before.
A delicious selection of barbeque classics with a twist will be cooked on London’s first Primo XL, the world’s finest ceramic BBQ. Andy Annat, three times British BBQ champion and UK Ambassador for Primo BBQ, will be bringing “the world’s most versatile BBQ” to The Big Smoke. He states that it not only has a “ceramic grill that uses charcoal rather than gas for a better flavour, but it can also be used for baking items such as bread” and finally, Andy’s speciality, “it can perfectly smoke food at low or high temperatures”. The Primo retains heat for up to 12 hours locking in the moisture and flavour ensuring delicious and tender meat. Head Chef Paul Sowden will also use wood chips from a variety of trees giving the food different flavours, or even from Jack Daniels barrels resulting in a delicious whiskey hint to the succulent meat. 
Brought to London by Mint Group, proprietors of some of London's most popular hot spots, The Big Smoke will be located in the stylish garden of Elk Bar, a West London institution. Enclosed in an authentic wooden smoke shack, guests can relax on rustic benches, surrounded by exotic plants and bright umbrellas, transporting them to a holiday destination despite being in the busy capital. 
Everyone loves a beer to go with their barbeque so The Big Smoke bar will also be serving a revolutionary selection of beer and tobacco-infused cocktails. These will include The Ginger Bread Ale Flip containing Meantime Pale Ale, Bacardi OakHeart spiced rum, Ginger Syrup, a dash of sours and finished with Ground Nutmeg and an Old Fashioned made with Jack Daniels No.7 and a new ingredient in the form of Perique tobacco liqueur. Or, not for the faint hearted, try The Mad Dog, a powerful concoction served in a giant martini glass filled with frozen margarita and two bottles of Corona beer upturned into the glass."

When - Thursday 21st June - 30th September

Where - The Elk Bar, 587-591 Fulham Road, London, SW6 5UB
