The object of
the evening is to absorb guests in local traditions and customs and
to show how diverse South Indian food can be using ingredients
accessible to British people.
The menu will
include all manner of Eastern delights which Cyrus, known for his
extravagant use of spice, will be creating dishes using ingredients
sourced only in the UK, within the London area. Cyrus comments: "Britain
has a superb selection of ingredients available, and on this evening
we look forward to opening people's eyes to the opportunity and
diversity South Indian food, British ingredients and wines from
around the globe can offer".
Charismatically
guiding their guests through each of the four courses will be Cyrus
Todiwala and Matthew Harrison of Balls Brothers, who will be passing
on their top tips for matching, creating and of course tasting!
Tickets to
this event can be purchased through Café Spice Namasté
at £49 per head for 4 courses including wine.
The event is
being organised in partnership with India Now: A festival of India in
London organised by the Mayor of London Travel company 'Off the
beaten track' which organises tailor-made tours to south India /
Kerala will have staff dressed in traditional costume and will be
adorning the entrance to the restaurant with items from the region.
Upon entering guests will be lightly showered with rose water (a
traditional greeting) and guided through a stunning array of candles,
traditional floor markings, lamps and flowers which really set the
scene for an evening amassed with culture.
The Mayor
said: "India is not only one of the world's most important
and rapidly growing economies, an emerging economic superpower, but
it also has one of the world's most important cultures. In 2007, we
are aiming to strengthen London's relations with India, building on
the significant contribution that the Indian community - the largest
minority national group in London - already makes to the economic,
cultural and social success of the capital. With the arrival of more
Indian companies, India's cultural impact on London is going to
increase further. India Now will be an opportunity to experience the
richness of Indian culture and will underline the relationship London
has with India. "
