On March 12, 13 and 14, Allpress Espresso Roastery and Café in Dalston will be hosting ANAN. Behind it is former head chef (and co-founder) of The Barbary, Eyal Jagermann - whose food I was lucky enough to eat in the early days of The Barbary - is offering a vegetarian mezze menu based around hummus.
Mouthwatering dishes include Medjool confit beetroot with dukkah; golden cauliflower served Jaffa style; burnt sweet potato brûlée and slow roasted kohlrabi with cured lemon chimichurri. Desserts include a coconut cream-based malabi, served with persimmon and rose water syrup.
In the kitchen with Eyal is chef Tomer Hauptman (ex-Palomar) while Zoe Tigner-Haus (previously at the River Café) will be running front of house.
Tickets are £33 and include an Arak cocktail combining Limonana, rose petals and coriander seeds. I'm so in!
If it sounds like your thing too, book
here - but save me a seat!
