Tim Maddams and Romy Gill to Host an Evening of Fusion Indian Cooking
For one night
only, renowned chef patron of Romy's Kitchen, Romy Gill, is teaming up with
founder of Green Sauce and former head chef at River Cottage, Tim Maddams, to
host a pop-up supper at Romy's Kitchen in Thornbury on Thursday 16th July (£35
per person). Romy and Tim will wow all, creating a delicious six-course tasting
menu featuring some tasty wild meat using only the best local and home-grown
ingredients.
The six-course
tasting menu will consist of three courses from each chef served consecutively,
each displaying their take on cooking with game. Tim Maddams, known for his
love of the great British countryside, wild food and quality produce, is
serving a starter of venison cooked with ginger, soy, sesame and coriander
followed by pigeon served with sharp pickles, sweet apricots, a kick of chilli
and tomato. For his dessert Tim will be serving freshly grown strawberries,
geranium, water mint, "ginmoncello" and coconut. Cutting between each
of Tim's courses, Romy Gill, influenced by her Indian upbringing, will serve
the traditional Rajasthani Lal Mass, game cooked in ginger, garlic, onions,
spices, a hit of red chillies and yoghurt, to start. For her main course, Romy
will delight guests with marrow cooked with a delicious Indian spice blend,
panch phoron, and ginger served with salad and dips. To finish the evening,
Romy's dessert will be a lip-smacking spicy mango cheesecake served with mango
shrikand.
Commenting on
the pop-up supper, Romy says: “I am delighted to host an event with someone as
inspiring as Tim. His ethics of sourcing food sustainably and locally has
always been a huge motivation for developing my own vegetable garden, growing
as many of the vegetables I serve in Romy's kitchen as possible.” Romy
continues: “Cooking alongside Tim will be a great way for both him and I to
learn and develop new styles of cooking.”
Over the course
of his career, Tim Maddams has worked under inspirational chefs including
Fergus Henderson, Alistair Little, Marco Pierre White and Mark Hix, as well as
leading the VIP catering team for the Ferrari F1 team in Europe. Yearning to
return to his roots in the south West, Tim started work at River Cottage.
During his time as head chef, Tim pioneered ethical, local, seasonal produce
and became a key spokesperson in the arena of responsibly sourced food. He
launched a successful media career, regularly co-featuring in the River Cottage
TV series, writing for a variety of food publications and as a central
contributor to the Fish Fight campaign. He set up his own company, Green Sauce,
in 2012, teaching, cooking and consulting on ethical food.
Romy Gill was
brought up in Calcutta, West Bengal, and after she emigrated to the UK it was
the flavours of her childhood she hungered for which led her to develop a love
for cooking. Starting off her culinary career cooking dinner parties for
friends, and later running successful cookery classes, she then opened Romy's
Kitchen in September 2013. Romy prides herself on cooking traditional Indian
food, using local ingredients, many of which are straight from her vegetable
garden in Thornbury.
