DETAILS: 

Fresh from feeding the likes of Michael Winner (film director), Kenny Anthony (the Prime Minister of St. Lucia), and soul songstress Desiree at the exclusive Ladera Resort Hotel, in the sunny Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the award-winning Chef Orlando returns to British soil to tantalise our tastebuds at this annual cookery event.

Now in its third year, SOUL FOOD 4 ALL is a masterclass in ‘Nouvelle Caribbean’ cookery, which includes demonstrations of appetisers, main course, and desserts for people who enjoy vegetarian, fish, or meat dishes.

Despite his youth, Chef Orlando has over 20 years catering experience, and is the proud creator of the ‘Nouvelle Caribbean’ concept - which combines the traditional flavours of the Caribbean with the French style of nouvelle cuisine.  As the talented chef explains: “I call it fusion cooking, using authentic ingredients and presenting food to appeal first, to the eyes, and then allowing people to relish the tastes, textures, and aromas.” 

Throughout the session there will be opportunities for participants to taste the variety of mouthwatering dishes produced, which in the past has included an appetising menu of Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Soup, Flying Fish and Avocado Salad, 7th Heaven Lamb, Jerk & Ginger Chicken Wings, and Roasted Banana with Mango Coulis…to name just a few

This year’s event promises to be better than ever, and is a unique occasion as it is being held in the beautiful, relaxing surroundings of the newly refurbished Horniman Museum in Forest Hill.  Event organiser, Patsy Leacock states: “The day marks a truly unique time in the Horniman’s history, as it will be the first time that a cookery event has ever taken place there.

She continues: “Soul Food 4 All is more than just a cookery class.  It is a unique social occasion that is both educational and entertaining…and attracts children, teenagers, adults, and pensioners whose contributions all adds to what amounts to a thoroughly enjoyable experience.  The event is aimed at beginners and experienced cooks, and EVERYONE with an interest in Caribbean food, culture, and tradition…regardless of their ability or cultural background.

The event is one of the many specialised activities organised by Platform 1, a youth, advice, and counselling centre based in Forest Hill, and receives financial support from Lewisham Youth Service, the London Borough of Lewisham, Lewisham College, and Lewisham Shopping Centre.  To ensure access to those members of the community normally excluded from participating in cultural, social, and economic life, this year’s concessionary prices have been subsidised by the Horniman’s Education Department.      

If you are a teacher or lecturer who is interested in booking a  demonstration at    your school/college, please contact Patsy to discuss your needs.
