Fermentation Sensation As a fan of Masterchef, I have been lucky to meet a few contestants and eat their food and in some cases, become their friend too. One of these is the lovely Josephine O’Hare, whom I first met about a year ago when I attended her regular supper club Hare on the Hill in Clapham and loved it. Since then we’ve been in touch and have become friends, but I had not been able (for reasons obvious to…
So far, our #Discover series of fundraising meals has been focusing on Italian regional cuisine, where I was able to showcase the gastronomic heritage of areas I grew up in (Cilento, Napoli etc). Yet a few months ago @bmcboy and I attended a Malaysian supper club at Guan Chua’s (Theboywhoatetheworld) and his incredible food gave me an idea.

Same cause (FAI, the Italian heritage trust), same location (our humble abode) but this time, why not enroll the help of fellow Cilento lovers @Squadrilla75 and Chiara, her friend from school and pastry chef? During our summer holidays in Villammare (Cilento), the planning begun. We shopped for food, we asked our local chefs…
