The Complete History of Food

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Culinary wizards Bompas & Parr open the Complete History of Food dining experience

Last night saw the star-studded opening of Courvoisier presents The Complete History of Food with those crazy jellymongers, Bompas & Parr, held at Belgrave Square in London. The Focus PR Courvoisier team has been busying about behind the scenes of this exciting epicurean adventure for the last few months so it was fabulous to see it brought to fruition as part of Courvoisier Revolutionary Spirit 2010.

Travelling through 730 years of gastronomic history, journalists and VIPs were invited to explore the five-story Georgian town house and experience the world’s first bio-responsive food in the form of jellies, a flooded Medieval banquet, giant sugar sculptures and dinner in the belly of a iguanodon dinosaur, all matched to bespoke Courvoisier cocktails!  Click here to see a film of the amazing event.

We saw Tom Parker Bowles tentatively crossing the eel-infested medieval waters, designer Anya Hindmarch enjoying a molecular cocktail on the roof terrace courtesy of Paul Tvaroh, TV presenters Rick Edwards and George Lamb enjoying a glass of punch in the Courvoisier bar, as well as model Olivia Inge and designer Amy Molyneaux from PPQ. The event is open from now until Sunday 18 July and tickets are priced at £25 so get them quickly from www.revolutionary-spirit.com.
