Due to the sell-out of the two Fantastic Five Supper Club dinners, a third session has now opened in respond to demand. Executive Chef and CEO of the Cinnamon Collection, Vivek Singh, and the BBC One’s 2020 MasterChef: The Professionals final four – Santosh Shah, Philli Armitage-Mattin, Bart Van der Lee and Alex Webb – will take to the stoves for a third event at lunchtime on Saturday 2nd March at Cinnamon Kitchen City on Devonshire Square.

The lunch pop-up will see the chefs cook a special five-course menu showcasing the unique styles that carried each to the finale of the popular cooking show. The lunch kicks off with an array of canapés prepared by all the chefs including Bart’s white crab with avocado, pickled celery, puffed quinoa and tarragon; Vivek’s vodka lime and tamarind pani puri and Santosh’s spiced pomelo with fenugreek seeds, dalle khursani, mustard oil, marigold leaf, sorrel and edible flowers.

Next, it’s the main event with each chef on hand to chat about their chosen plate and share their culinary highlights and anecdotes. First up is Alex’s citrus and dill cured chalk stream trout with fennel purée, orange and fennel salad, onion oil, crispy potato and trout roe – a reiteration of the dish that won him the MasterChef trophy in 2020. Bart is behind the grill for the second course of brill with braised sweetheart cabbage, pancetta, black garlic and parsnip emulsion, brown butter & hazelnut vinaigrette, crispy leeks and sage.

Philli provides the main with a flavour-punching dish of Xinjiang lamb rump, Chinese bbq lamb rib, Sichuan aubergine, tahina and chilli oil followed by Santosh’s decadent ghewar with saffron rabri, gudpak, pineapple bonndi, fennel powder and gold leaf.

This Fantastic Five pop-up is part of Vivek’s ongoing supper club series, which has featured many long-standing Cinnamon chefs and talented alumni. The upcoming Fantastic Five lunch is further celebration of young talent in the industry and showcases Vivek’s ongoing commitment and passion to provide a dedicated platform to nurture the next generation.

Tickets cost £100pp with wine pairings available at an additional £60pp. The pop-up will run across lunch service on Saturday 2nd March. To book, visit the link here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-session-fantastic-five-supper-club-at-cinnamon-kitchen-city-tickets-815231879497?aff=erelpanelorg
