The Global Feast @ Stratford Old Town Hall

by Jeanne Horak on July 31, 2012 8 Comments in London restaurants

GlobalFeastStratford © J Horak-Druiff 2012

 

It I were to tell you that I dined off the coast of India last Saturday night, you’d probably be thinking: “What??  She’s travelling AGAIN?!”.  But you’d be wrong.  In fact, I had to travel no further east than Stratford (a.k.a. Oympics Central!) to enjoy my dinner at The Global Feast, a new dining experience scheduled to co-incide with the London Olympic Games and taking place in Statford over the course of 20 nights in July and August.  Curated by Kerstin Rodgers of London’s Underground Restaurant, each of the 20 evenings will see a different world cuisine being served, and each will be co-developed and prepared with a different supperclub chef. Although I feared that on the first day of the London Olympics, Stratford would be absolutely jam-packed with people and impassable, it was pleasantly empty and I easily found the surprisingly tranquil Old Town Hall courtyard where the Global Feast is tucked away in a large marquee tent by a tinkly fountain.

The global theme is further developed by the use if a most extraordinary installation as a dining table, called Worldscape. Designed by art and architecture studio Atos, Worldscape is described as a piece of continuous integrated landscape furniture – a table “built from and for the world, carved from its precise contours to provide seating for up to 100 people”.  Intrigued yet?  I certainly was. Luckily creator Alex Haw was on hand to hop up onto his creation and talk us through it. Worldscape uses the Equidistant Cylindrical map of the world, which maps all lines of latitude and longitude as perfectly straight lines with nice, neat 90 degree angles between them, to create an inhabitable dining environment, merging seat and table. The table seems to be made from laquered, multi-layered pieces of wood, painstakingly cut by some clever machine to represent bits of the overall structure, and then numbered for easy(ish) assembly on site – like the worst IKEA nightmare you can imagine. The largest world cities on the map are cleverly represented by conical holes cut through all the layers of the wood and are lit from below the table so as to become “geo-located light fixtures”, and to give you an strong visual image of where our planet is most (and least) densely popoulated. The whole structure is done according to scale, so the tallest pointy bits in the middle of the table are the Himalayas.  According to the blurb, sea level provides the table’s baseline height at its edges.  So all diners eat at the same level, while seated on an integrated seat at the level bathymetric shelf (2000 m below sea level) while the ocean floor tumbles away beneath them and the mountains soar above.

Or, rather, they would… if the table were finished. When I visited about 4 nights into the 20-night run, we were seated on plain old chairs, not an integrated seabed-bench; the Alps had not yet been assembled; the deep valleys that score the planet’s surface were still lying in yet-to-be-assembled pieces on the table and floor rather than suspended under the table, and they were mysteriously assembling a Himalaya 2.0 to replace the first set of peaks. Ah well. I did love the other bits and bobs on the table though, specifically the “mapkins” (bespoke cloth napkins made from beautful map-patterened abric, and the paper pom-poms and flowers everywhere made from old maps.  Glorious attention to detail!

So what about the food?  The night that I was invited to attended was billed as Swedish and Northern European night, and the guest chefs were Linn Soderstrom from Hemma Hos Linn supper club in Stockholm and Claudia Stachelhaus from White Room Supper Club in London).  I was greeted on arrival with a cocktail containing chase Vodka (the only potato vodka made in the UK) before wandering off to find my dinner companions Denise and Funda.  The canapés were served as we sat outside by the fountain and were both quite wonderful.  First, there were garlicky shots of cucumber, mint and tarragon gazpacho (fresh, clean-flavoured and perfect for a hot summer’s day); and Skagen Rora (prawns in a sour cream and dill sauce on crispbread from Sweden). These were probably about on a par with, say, heroin for being addictive: plump little prawns, a creamy sauce, and crispbread that tasted buttery and sinful, rather than wholegrain and virtuous. I also loved the pretty, fresh daisy flower on each shard of crispbread.

Once we were seated at the table, the rest of the meal was served.  Baskets of Swedish crispbread (2 different types) were accompanied by little bowls of impressively creamy homemade butter. We started with Swedish pickled herring with a 6-minute boiled egg, new potatoes, butter-cooked onions, beetroot and fantastic homemade mayo. I loved every single bite of this plate – from the soft, yielding egg to the earth beets, to the sweet onions, to the sweet-sour tang of the herring.  But best of all was the mayo which I correctly guessed had been made with a hint of browned butter to give it an incredibly caramelly flavour.  Fantastic.  Why is all mayo not made like this??  The starter was well paired with an Austrian Rabl Gruner Veltliner.

 

GlobalFeastStarter

 

Our main course consisted of rump steak braised in porter with new potatoes, carrots & blackcurrant jelly, and a creamy porter sauce – evidently Linn’s grandmother’s recipe. Now I would never think to serve rump steak like this – at Cooksister HQ rump steaks go straight on the barbecue or in the cast-iron griddle pan.  But what a delicious way of serving it – think the tenderest pink beef roast you’ve ever tasted and you start to get the picture. The baby carrots it came with were crisply al dente, the porter sauce was rich and creamy and I am a sucker for sweet jellies with meat.  Although not a dish that screams “Sweden” to me, this was nonetheless delicious.

The pre-dessert was not listed on the menu and initially had us scratching our heads.  We were expecting a baked German cheesecake with berries; what arrived instead tasted more like, well… ice-cream with berries. Had they forgotten to bake the cake?  Or was the German concept of “baked” something entirely diffreent to ours??  But the waitress soon solved the mystery by informing us that this was a pre-dessert of ice-cream with caramel and berries. I loved that the ice-cream tasted like the caramel ice-cream my mom used to make with sweetened condensed milk, and the tart berries provided a good, tart flavour balance. This was followed by the actual dessert of a baked German cheesecake. And what, you may ask, distinguishes a German cheesecake from other cheesecakes? Mostly the fact that it is made using quark rather than cream cheese – but in this case also that it came on a plate comprising the colour of the German flag: red strawberries, a black parcel of chocolate fudge, and a golden Haribo medal. Clever! The strawberries were lusciously good and the cake’s consistency was definitely lighter most baked cheesecakes – but I still prefer the dense heaviness of a New York style cheesecake. Aftre dinner there was also some entertainment in the form of an acoustic set by German singer songwriter Gon von Zola (The Budda Cakes), whose music I rather liked.

And the verdict? On the positive side, I really enjoyed the evening.  I loved the venue and the novelty value; I loved the attention to detail that Kerstin has put into the tableware, from the “mapkins”, to the plates printed with a bird’s eye view of the River Thames and a relief map of London, to the paper flowers made of maps. The food was of a high standard throughout; I simply adored the canapés and starter;  and I like the concept of dining, then chatting ofer a glass of wine while enjoying some live entertainment. On the negative side, I remain baffled and slightly disappointed at the incomplete Worldscape table – I do hope they have a chance to assemble it fully before it is broken down and auctioned off on the final night of the Global Feast. I also don’t know why it was left until the dessert course to turn on the under-table lights – these instantly gave the room an other-worldly and intimate atmosphere.  But mostly, it is a pity that the event was not better attended.  On the night that I visited, the 80-seater table was barely half full, and by the time the entertainment started there were barely a dozen people left.  Whether this is because of lack of advance promotion or because of the “Olympic ghost town effect” (Londoners avoiding their own city in droves after being put off by scaremongering about traffic/transport chaos), I have no idea. But it is a pity to see an enjoyable event which has obviously taken a huge collaborative effort to put together so under-appreciated.  I do hope that as word spreads about positive dining experiences, the remaining sessions are better attended.

    Thanks for coming to Global Feast and so pleased you enjoyed it! Yes we have been having some issues with the table finishing but they will be resolved this week – there was a major issue with the cutting factory.
    We also have taken the decision to reduce the price of the event across the board to £45.
    Do come again!

    You seem to have an fantastic relationship with the Swedish tourism authority.
    This is a very noval idea and I would love to know what they will do for South Africa or Africa if they do feature that. As for the rump steak, I’m with you on that one. They go straight onto the grill over the coals.

    @Rosa – thanks! She was actually a DJ who played a set after dinner 🙂 Loved the dog!

    @Firefly – interesting you should say that because there was actually a South African night! Run by a South African supper club owner here in London – the menu is in this post: http://www.globalfeast2012.com/2012/07/26/central-african-night-introducing-arno-maasdorp-of-the-saltoun-supper-club/

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above. 

What do you like to do with blood oranges? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
