Culinary Salon Dinner with Felicity Cloake

Tuesday, November 29 2022, 7pm - 11pm, at Academy Restaurant, Ulster University, York Street, Belfast

 

 

In partnership with the Oxford Cultural Collective, Ulster University is staging a Culinary Salon: a series of dinners hosted by some of the UK and Ireland’s most admired chefs and food writers. The events, which are staged in the new Academy restaurant in central Belfast, celebrate the cultural diversity that characterises our contemporary hospitality scene.

 

This creative initiative has been made possible through generous funding from the Savoy Educational Trust.

 

The next dinner in the series, to be held on the evening of 29th November, will be designed and hosted by Felicity Cloake, award-winning author and Guardian food writer.
