Five spice-focused London chefs have come together this week to celebrate restaurant Cinnamon Kitchen City's 15-year anniversary with a special one-off dinner.
Head Chef of Cinnamon Kitchen City, Raju Ramachandran, is being joined by Executive Chef of The Cinnamon Collection, Vivek Singh plus Adriana Cavita of Cavita, Will Bowlby of Kricket and Gavin Malleappah of Rambutan for Spice in the City. The five will combine to produce five unique dishes being served up today, 6th October, at Cinnamon Kitchen City on London's Devonshire Square.
The event website says of the one-night-only restaurant: The menu brings a unique combination of distinctively different cuisines together to celebrate London's love for spice. Each chef will showcase what spice means to them by creating their favourite dish, one course at a time, for one night only.
The evening will begin with signature flavours and delicious canapés from Vivek Singh followed by former Cinnamon Kitchen City chef, Will Bowlby, bringing his Indian-inspired small plates to the table with ghee roast crab with burnt cinnamon. Next up, Mexican-born Adriana Cavita's favourite native dish, chutoro tostadas with salsa macha, ginger soy vinaigrette and avocado purée.
Gavin Malleappah, formerly part of Vivek's kitchen brigade at The Cinnamon Club, will delight you with a modern twist on a traditional Sri-Lankan dish, serving black pork belly curry with string hoppers, whilst Cinnamon Kitchen's Raju Ramachandran's is cooking up his signature dish of Chettinad spiced lamb chops.
After indulging in the vibrant flavours of the evening, you will have a chance to engage in a lively Q&A session with all the chefs!
