A SPECIAL dinner combining food from Michelin-starred chefs and artwork from contemporary artists is to be held at a landmark attraction.
Sussex charity Table Talk Foundation is holding a dinner at the i360 on Brighton seafront on October 11.
Four top chefs will create dishes inspired by specially created work from four contemporary artists. Their art will then be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity.
Table Talk Foundation provides a programme of food education to schools across Sussex to tackle childhood obesity by teaching youngsters about food, cooking and making good food choices.
The dinner takes places during The Sussex Contemporary, a new art exhibition opening on October 8 at the i360 which will showcase the best of Sussex artists over two weeks.
Dinner guests will enjoy a private view of the art before taking their seats.
The starter will be prepared by Jean Delport, who was awarded a Michelin star just ten months after opening Restaurant Interlude at Leonardslee Gardens near Horsham.
His dish will be inspired by artwork created specifically for the dinner by well-known Sussex painter and potter Tony Parsons.
San B is a fast-rising artist who works with Swarovski crystals and his work will be the inspiration for the fish course by Adam Handling.
Adam achieved his first Michelin star at Frog, his Covent Garden restaurant. At just 33, he also owns two other acclaimed restaurants and a cocktail bar.
The main course will be presented by Tom Kerridge’s head chef Sarah Hayward, who was recently identified as one to watch by the go-to website for foodies greatbritishchefs.com. Her dish will be influenced by work from internationally renowned sculptor Beth Cullen Kerridge who also happens to be Tom’s wife.
To finish, Brighton-based artist James William Murray is tasked with creating artwork that will be the inspiration for a dessert by Glen Sharman. Glen is the sous chef at Raymond Blanc’s world-famous restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat’saisons.
“We are so excited to be hosting this truly unique event with such heavyweights from the world of visual and culinary art,” said Daniel Wade, founder of Table Talk Foundation.
“If you are a food lover and an art lover then you will not want to miss this.”
Tickets for the event are £220 and those interested in attending should visit www.tabletalk-foundation.com to buy tickets.
