Wellington On A Plate / 30 upstairs Gallery Event
In 2016 I was invited down to cook for 'Wellington On A Plate.' Wellingtons yearly food festival. Short works of my fiction added to the event. I created banquets for the second week of the festival in 30 Upstairs Art Gallery Courtney Place Wellington, Lamb smoker hanging out the window, hotplate on a shelf, all without a kitchen. A Cook A Gallery A Painting A Feast The Event ran over a week with diners enjoying banquet meals each night presented as 'Art Cuisine' in their own right. I was asked to base it all on Abby Meakin's still life painting which hung in the Gallery behind the Diners. The Middle Course was served on long banquet boards, each person received a scroll of my short fiction and poetry to indulge in and converse over. This Dessert the finale of the night was Audible.
