Having witnessed the consequences of mass industrialisation, the UK is increasingly looking to nations with more sustainable food systems for inspiration.
Born in France and with Portuguese-Cameroonian heritage, Elody Kolden's childhood was a tapestry of different cultural influences. It was this, and her experience of working in top restaurants around the world, that inspired her to open Kolden Kitchen in 2019, a catering company blending French and West African flavours.
This broad cultural background has given Elody a unique perspective on global food systems. She'll be joining us in the Food & Drink Studio to explore how West African cuisine in particular stands out as example of good practice.
Through a specially crafted three-course meal, guests will experience first-hand what the West can learn from West African cuisine.
Menu includes:
- Starter: Monkfish, Kale Chips, Corn Cream, Watercress
- Main: Grilled Lamb Cutlets Kankankan, Cactus, Sweet-Potato Purée; Broccoli & Millet Couscous, Avocado, Apple & Cashew
- Dessert: Exotic Fruit Platter; Burnt Banana Cheesecake, São Tomé Vanilla
