Newick Decorative and Fine Art Society<br />
Plumpton Village Hall, 2.15 <strong>December</strong> 12 th ‘Cooking for Kings’.<br />
This lecture by Ian Kelly is on the superb master chef, Antonin Careme, the<br />
creator <strong>of</strong> ‘haut cuisine.’ He began his career in the late 18 th Century working<br />
for a Patisserie in Paris but his work, - he revelled in producing enormous<br />
confections sometimes several feet high, soon came to the notice <strong>of</strong> Napoleon.<br />
His cooking was so inventive that he could produce menus for a year without<br />
repetition and only using the freshest <strong>of</strong> ingredients. After Napoleon’s fall he<br />
moved to London where he used his culinary skills in the service <strong>of</strong> the Prince<br />
Regent. This lecture will be accompanied by an excellent digital presentation<br />
and you never know perhaps you might find some ideas for your own Christmas<br />
menus this year! We look forward to welcoming you, £5 on the door for nonmembers,<br />
tea and festive refreshments afterwards.<br />
If any further information is required please ring Carole Burgon on 01273 890301<br />
or Marjorie Blunden on 01825 723250. May we wish everybody a Merry<br />
Christmas and a Happy New Year?<br />
