This March and April a season of dinners is taking place pairing different sets of supper clubs hosts to create seven amazing nights. Created by Backdoor Kitchen and some of their friends, each night features two supper clubs with different backgrounds, origins and cuisines, cooking a selection of dishes. It'll be great for people who want to get a taste of the vibrant supper club scene, and also people who already have their own favourite hosts, but want to see them in a new setting. Don't miss out!
"They are amongst us, they look exactly like us, you might even work next to them but at night, when kitchen closes, they sneak in through the backdoor and fire up for some of the most interesting food in London. Meet the "Flavour Expats" as the chef behind popular Backdoor Kitchen Italian supperclub, Rob Cenciarelli, gathers upstairs at Hackney based iconic Palm2 Deli some of the most talented chefs in the supperclub for a spectacular culinary challenge.
14 chefs from the East and the West of the world, 7 nights, 2 teams and the one only chance to try the food of two countries yet at the same table. This adventurous journey will unfold over six courses every night. Each pair of chefs will be asked to cook a starter, a main and a pudding shaped around their gastronomic traditions and inspired to the most distinctive flavours of their own countries.
Two Hungry Girls, Backdoor Kitchen, Darjeeling Express, The Candlestick Maker,Yummy Choo Eats, The Pickled Fork and Gastronhome are only some of the names you will find down the path to the ultimate food experience.
