The food of our childhood is a memory that can bring tears or fear to our hearts. My mum’s apricot chicken is still being served, although thankfully, she has learned that vegetables don’t take long to cook and salad doesn’t have to be dressed with sugar and vinegar.
Like everything in life, food moves on. But has it really? Isn’t it more like fashion - returning in a modern version of the old styles?
The chef for our first hidden dinner is Ben Armstrong, owner of III Bean Espresso in Hamilton. Ben will share his autobiography with us. It’s a story of food delivered one dish at a time. His childhood food memories and mantras will be revisited and renewed as a modern adaption of dishes he was served as a child growing up in the 70’s.
As you would expect at the III Bean, your meal will be an amazing mix of ingredients from specially selected producers. Each dish thoughtfully created as an expression of Ben's epicurism. Constructed under the challenging and limited facilities available at the venue, their delivery will be a great achievement.
Artist Kristine Ballard will record memories of the evening in sketches. Audience participation is voluntary, but you may be surprised at just what talents she can bring out in you. Please, no need to be nervous. The White Rabbit is a shy creature, she won’t ruin your reputation!
