Abstract
Contract caterer BM, Hogan Lovells and Ellis Wines raised more than £40,000 during a three-course Michelin-starred dinner in London, supporting the work of citizenAID’s in the Ukraine.
Money raised from the auction and ticket sales will go towards supporting citizenAID’s work, providing medical aid, tents, shelter and beds to those affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The menu was developed by Adam Byatt, chef-patron of Michelin-starred Trinity in Clapham, who is also consultant chef at BM. The menu included:
- Starter: H Forman & Son cured royal fillet of salmon, or caramelised barrel-aged feta, both served with heritage beetroots, caviar, crème fraîche, spring onions, radish and dill oil-compressed cucumber
- Main: roasted Fallow venison loin, potato terrine, Roscoff onion and Périgord truffle and a potato gnocchi, Watts Farm vegetables, sage beurre noisette and shaved Pecorino
- Dessert: Islands chocolate cremosa, vanilla Chardonnay vinegar, marinated raspberries, honeycomb and candied pistachio
Angus Brydon, managing director at BM, commented: “The war in Ukraine has touched so many of us in different ways. We, like so many others, are saddened by the difficulties faced by ordinary Ukrainians and wanted to show our support by creating an event which can not only raise funds to support citizenAID’s efforts, but also continue to keep the plight of so many in the forefront of peoples’ minds.”
