Slow Food Week comes to London's Leadenhall Market

The Staff Canteen
City of London restaurant Chamberlain's, in historic Leadenhall Market, will be supporting Slow Food UK next month for Slow Food Week starting June 1. lambThere will be a particular starter, main course and dessert on the a la carte menu throughout the week, and for each of these served, Chamberlain's will donate £1 to Slow Food UK. Andrew Jones, executive chef at Chamberlain's, is a Chef Alliance member of Slow Food UK and has devised three special dishes, all of which include ‘forgotten foods' from Slow Food's Ark of Taste programme. The Slow Food Week Specials are: salad of Cromer crab with Kentish cobnuts and dulse seaweed crisp, followed by a main course of roasted rack of Portland lamb with Jersey Royal new potato and Formby asparagus, sweet garlic and lemon jus, and finally a dessert of sea lavender honey cake with Three County Perry sorbet and fresh strawberry compote. Commenting on the fundraising promotion, Andrew Jones said: "We are delighted to support Slow Food UK and its valuable work. I am proud to be a Chef Alliance member and have long been a fan of many of the forgotten foods in the Ark of Taste. We support a number of different charities through the year - in fact we had an event last week on behalf of The Royal Navy & Royal Marines Children's Fund that raised over £3,000. We are also organizing an evening concert on Saturday, July 11 within Leadenhall Market to raise further funds for this charity." Click here for more information on Slow Food UK
