She explains the theme of this Tuesday evening: “On the 8th November 1974, Lord Lucan disappeared, after allegedly murdering his nanny and tying her body up in a sack.  He was finally declared dead in 1999, almost 25 years later.

In commemoration of this we will have a Lord Lucan Supper in which we will be celebrating ingredients that are disguised or disappeared.

Does something look or taste like something else entirely?

Did you put loads of something into stuff yet no-one could tell it’s there?

Think Mock Fish or Mock Duck, the famous Chinese dishes cooked for the vegetarian monks, maybe even Quorn which must be something but definitely doesn’t look like whatever its constituent parts are.

I make a black pepper dish which everyone tells me has too much chilli – but there’s none in it!  And – shock horror – there are twice the broad beans than chickpeas in my falafel.

I’ll be making the spring onion noodles mentioned in this blog post, when I had to disguise 20 bunches of spring onions as effectively as possible!

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!”
