An evening of ‘chic English hedonism’ as told by Orange Prize award-winning author Naomi Alderman.
Food
The menu was inspired by Naomi Alderman’s The Lessons, a novel about gilded youth set in a stilted Oxford backdrop and the relationships they have with affluence, addiction, and power.
Visiting chef Dain Lee lives life in New York as a lyrical dreamscape of food and music. Mixing flavor profiles with a global perspective, the results are fresh, cheeky, and always unconventional. His dishes are deceptively simple, but have a depth and complexity that can only come from someone who understands both the power of an individual note as well as how they fit together to form a symphony.
Drink
5 specially selected rare wines were chosen by Dawid Koeglenberg, former General Manager of Corrigans Mayfair. He has more than 20 years experience in hospitality, vine growing and wine making. He is a qualified lecturer for the Wine & Spirit Trust and also lectures for the London Wine Academy. Dawid is a judge at the international wine & spirit competition in London and talks on BBC radio about wine.
