Art
This event showcased readings by Natasha Solomons from her latest book Mr. Rosenblum’s List.
Food
Concept-Chef Caroline Hobkinson re-created a five course multi-sensory experience by evoking memories of Jack and Sadie’s journey in the book. Caroline’s menu is a wonderfully poetic toast to personal journey, struggle and food assimilation.
Caroline’s life in both Berlin and London has influenced her unique take on food, history and art. She uses food as performance and social commentary, drawing inspiration from the likes of Judy Chicago and the Futurist Cookbook. Trained at Central Saint Martin’s, one of Caroline’s past projects includes an underground restaurant in Berlin to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Upcoming projects also include a very Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the Barbican and BRoKen BiScuits, a gastro-geographical journey through Shoreditch. Caroline’s work has been featured by the New York Times and Die Zeit.
Drink
For this event, we worked with Red, White or Pink to provide a selection of German wines to match the food and the story.
