arts & events arts & events See Maefla The Maelfa Shopping Centre, situated on the outskirts of Cardiff, was built around a block of high-rise flats in the mid-1970s. Once a thriving centre in the local community, it steadily declined over the years and was soon earmarked for demolition. Before its destruction, artist Sean Edwards took up residence in the centre, creating this series of poignant works inspired by this functioning yet near derelict space. More: Maelfa, Spike Island, 21 Jan-10 Apr, spikeisland.org.uk ❉ watch Swallows & Amazons What do you get when you team Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy, the director of the West End hit ‘War Horse’ and the writer of the National Theatre’s ‘Coram Boy’? Bristol Old Vic’s new musical ‘Swallows and Amazons’, of course. Such is the excitement surrounding the project that a number of mutinous stunts have taken place around the city in the run-up to opening night – the latest being a riotous hijacking of Bristol’s very own Matthew by Bristol Old Vic’s Young Company. But none of this compares to the adventures the crew will face as they follow Captain John on his exotic expedition to Wild Cat Island. Get into the spirit of things by booking a ‘houseboat’ (aka a box at Bristol Old Vic) and enjoy a voyagers’ picnic, complimentary grog, programmes and ice cream, all for £200. All together now: yoho-ho and a bottle of rum!

She joined Glassboat in October 2010. We caught up with Liz between sittings to talk about her career in the kitchen. How long have you been in the industry? Quite some time, thank you! Was it always your dream to become a chef ? I’ve always had a passion for cooking and remember cooking for my family as a child (from the age of about nine onwards). It was just my love of food that inspired me to become a chef. What are you hoping to bring to Glassboat? I’d like to bring seasonal, well-sourced food, simply cooked, whose flavours speak for themselves. I think the food will match the stunning dining environment. Head chef, Glassboat What did you think about Glassboat before you arrived? Unfortunately, as head chef of a busy establishment, I didn’t get the opportunity to dine out very often. However, I did manage to enjoy the odd meal at Glassboat and also heard good things. Apart from anything else, its longevity is a testament to the restaurant. It’s a serious Bristolian icon. What five ingredients couldn’t you live without? I couldn’t live without lemons! Also, bitter chocolate, garlic, fresh chillis and fresh herbs. What’s your top tip for creating the perfect Christmas dinner? A time-plan: work ahead where possible and be nicely organised on the day. And always have a gin and tonic in your hand! Which chef do you most admire? Sally Clarke [owner of Clarke’s Restaurant, Shop and Wholesale Bakery] has had the greatest Don’t miss Arnolfini’s 50th anniversary celebrations, which begin on Sat 19 Feb with a new exhibition of work by Cosima von Bonin (pictured) plus talks, free activities for the family and more. We’ll be running a full feature on Arnolfini’s anniversary next issue influence – she’s a friend, mentor and inspiration. If you could cook in any kitchen in the world, where would it be? The Chez Panisse Cafe in Berkeley, California. Turkey or goose on Christmas day? It’s turkey in our house because it’s really traditional (and the kids prefer it). What’s your signature dish? From our current menu, the dish that really reflects what I do is a starter of grilled pigeon breast and watercress with sweet and sour blackberries. Anything else you’d like to add? I consider it a great honour to cook at Glassboat. I hope that the food I inspire my team to create is something that customers will want to come back for regularly. Come and see us!
