Delight in a mouth-watering three course vegetarian feast prepared for you by Izy Hossack and the team at Waterhouse Restaurant.

Izy shot to fame with her beautiful blog and Instagram account, Top with Cinnamon, which led to the release of her delicious debut cook book of the same name. Her smart and creative recipes follow her motto of ‘maximum flavour and minimum effort, without breaking the bank.’

Whilst you nibble and sip, Izy will demonstrate a selection of her latest recipes from her soon-to-be-released second book, The Savvy Cook, including Swedish cinnamon knots and a clever veggie “chorizo” dip. You will then get to eat these treats along with the rest of your feast.

This event will support the work of Shoreditch Trust, a Hackney-based charity that provides services to the local community to help them to lead healthy, fulfilling and independent lives.

Shoreditch Trust’s Waterhouse and Food for Life teams have joined forces to create an enterprising strand, Waterhouse Cookery School, to share their combined expertise and knowledge to a wider audience. Waterhouse Cookery School offers team building experiences in the kitchen, and is now presenting unique and exclusive events with rising stars in the food industry.

Waterhouse Restaurant is home to Blue Marble Training; a programme for 16 to 25 year olds who are experiencing challenging circumstances in their lives. The kitchen allows trainees to learn and develop real expertise at their own pace, while being fully supported by a specialist team of facilitators. It enables participants to develop skills that can lead to rewarding careers, while encouraging and facilitating personal development.

The Trust’s Food for Life programme supports people to improve their physical and mental health by building a better relationship with food. They run healthy cook and eat courses for both children and adults in the community, reaching out to those who might be struggling with the skills and knowledge to eat healthily on a budget.
