Last month Kadai headed to Taste of London Festival
for four days of foodie fun. It was wonderful to have a stand there and catch-up
with the customers, but also to see loads of Kadai Firebowls dotted around the
site, being used by top-class chefs.
The first night kicked off with Feast in the Forest
- a new and unique Christmas dining experience attended by only 30 people. Josh
Katz, Head Chef at Berber & Q Grillhouse, used Kadai Firebowls to create
amazing dishes like pigs in blankets with spiced honey and smoked squash and
lentils with lime yoghurt.
However, it wasn’t just the chefs who got to have
all the fun - alongside the Kadai stand was the Taste Campfire, where everyone
could grab a Marshmallow Fork and marshmallows to toast over our large Wilstone
Firebowls.
For all four festival days there was a Recycled
Kadai Firebowl with Holi Grill at the Daily BBQ. This area was manned by a
rotating selection of top London restaurants – Smoking Goat, Zelman Meat and
Flesh + Bun. Plus, just around the corner, Barboun, a new Eastern Mediterranean
grill opening a few days after Taste, was cooking up a storm on a Wilstone
Firebowl with our new Tripod Pulley System.
The main attraction at Taste London is the Firepit
– an elegant birdcage-style stage that radiates heat as chefs go back to basics
and cook amazing dishes on open flames. There were two Kadai Firebowls in there
this year, with DJ BBQ hosting and entertaining the crowd while eighteen
different chefs created mouth-watering perfection around him. You could watch
demonstrations from Elliot Cunningham cooking grilled cabbage, burned
cultured cream and herring roe; James Cochran cooking BBQ goat, scotch bonnet and pickle
flatbreads; or Genevive Taylor cooking grilled red cabbage, porcini
butter, crisp breadcrumbs and barbecued apple tarte tatin. We enjoyed
getting to see and sample some of these amazing demos and we’ll never forget
the show-stopping scallop Christmas tree that Simon Stallard popped into the
Wilstone Firebowl and sprayed with champagne!
Overall, it was a successful show and a brilliant way to round-off the year. We look forward to everyone getting into a truly tasty Christmas mood around the Kadai Firebowls next year.
