CHEW & VIEW 1

Rani curated and organised the first Chew & View event, at the South Kilburn Studios, which brought people together to enjoy great films and food and to explore the different themes linked to them.
The evening was a huge success with a full house – and an unusual delicious festive feast was cooked up by the delightful and talented Dee Woods, who summed up the evening perfectly:

Where our food comes from today is bound up with the politics of trade and aid, capitalism, greed, oppression and inequity – but also the fierce spirit that people have around the world in taking control of their lives, through food. 
True sustainability of our food, and subsequent health and nutrition is contained in maintaining the freedom of seed, in ensuring right livelihoods for those that produce our food, in changing the system, equal distribution, reducing food waste, making real food, good food, healthy and nutritious food available to all. It is not just about local, seasonal and organic. 

                                                                                                   
                                                                                                      Food is a right. Food for thought.

An exquisite menu from Trinidad, but with global influences. Meat, vegetarian and vegan options available.

TO START: Pastelles following a recipe from Trinidad and Tobago; meat or vegetable-stuffed cornmeal parcels wrapped in banana leaves and steamed (served with chow chow, real ketchup, and creole pepper sauce); tostones; fried green and ripe plantains (served with mojo sauce, salsa and a spicy mayonnaise)

TO FOLLOW: Vegetarian option – a mixed bean and vegetable stew cooked with coconut milk and culantro, ginger, chilies and other spices; meat – a hearty Caribbean beef stew, using organic beef (served with rice and a selection of salads); salads – kale salad with cranberry and walnuts, carrot slaw

TO FINISH: Orange cranberry polenta cake served with mascarpone cream, toasted almonds and orange zest; Divine Decadence ruby chocolate cake with satin frosting and pomegranate seeds; vegan option – mixed fruit

Due to popular demand, Chew & View will be back in March 2014 with a new exciting menu of food and films!
