𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐑𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐢 𝐘𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚 PIGNON, TOKYO 11th - 22nd October Following his unforgettable residency with us way back in 2016, we’re thrilled to announce that Rimpei Yoshikawa is swapping the bright lights of Tokyo for the twinkling ones of Charlotte Street for a second time, joining us for a fortnight-long residency from next week. No neon lights, no peace signs, no robot waiters… Rimpei’s laid-back bohemian bistro @pignontokyo sticks out like a sore thumb in Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya district. But that’s how he likes it. It all started when Rimpei bid adieu to Tokyo’s fine dining scene and took himself to Bordeaux for a change of scenery. It was there that he found his true calling, abandoning haute cuisine for simpler home-cooked pleasures. He then travelled through Italy, Spain, Thailand, Mexico and beyond, collecting ideas like a culinary magpie; the recipe for Pignon’s famous Merguez sausage, for example, is the result of a fortuitous mistranslation in a remote Moroccan village. Now, Rimpei’s signature style draws mostly on soulful, everyday French and Moroccan dishes, expertly recreated using seasonal, local ingredients. Highlights include his signature housemade merguez with heritage carrots and harissa, scallop ceviche and spiced chopped salad. Swipe to read the full menu, head to our stories to see more from Rimpei and visit our link in bio to your place.

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤... Next up in our Sustainable Supper Club series (𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟑𝐫𝐝 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫), we have the hotly anticipated four-hands dinner from Tommy Banks, holder of two Michelin stars (one each for The Black Swan at Oldstead and Roots in York), and Ivan Tisdall-Downes of Native at Browns in Mayfair, winner of this year’s Rémy Martin Sustainable Pairing challenge. Ivan blew the judges away in July – Tommy included – with his dessert of ‘Wild Mushroom & Apple Baked Alaska’, paired with the tropical pineapple notes of Rémy Martin Tercet. Now the two are teaming up for a very special one-off, featuring the likes of ‘Brioche, Pear, Pickled Walnut & Truffle’ and ‘Mallard, Beetroot and Elderberry’ from Green Star holder Tommy and ‘Fish Toast with Crispy Sea Lettuce & Damson’ and *that* dessert from Ivan, whose commitment to natural, foraged and seasonal produce was honed at River Cottage HQ in Devon and Blue Hill Farm at Stone Barns, New York. Thanks to our partners, the imaginative set menu is excellent value at just £65 and is bookended by a signature Rémy Martin apéritif and digestif.  ​ ​Swipe to read the full menu and hurry to the link in our bio if you want to secure yourself a place because tickets are (unsurprisingly) selling fast...

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤... 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥 ​DIACÁ, GUATEMALA CITY ​4th - 8th October  Voted one of 2022’s 'World's 50 Next' – a list of pioneers changing the world of gastronomy – @debora_fadul’s passion for Guatemala and its culinary diversity knows no bounds, and is the 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘥'ê𝘵𝘳𝘦 behind her restaurant Diacá. After training at culinary school, setting up her own catering company and hosting a string of successful pop-ups, Debora founded Diacá in 2018 as an ode to Guatemala’s rich and diverse produce and its farmers. Since opening, it’s been at the forefront of innovation and promotion of the country’s cuisine, earning a deserved list of accolades along the way. ​ As much an emotional experience as a culinary one, at Diacá, Debora uses food as a way to connect diners with deeper values and meanings, like nostalgia, ancestral knowledge and the culture of the land and its farmers. We can’t wait to welcome Debora to Carousel next week to soak up her impressive knowledge and awe-inspiring passion for Guatemala's diverse cuisine.  ​ ​Swipe to see the full delicious menu and head to the link in our bio to book in.

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤... 𝐌𝐚𝐱 𝐋𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 27th September - 1st October  @maxlamanna is an award-winning chef, author and presenter. Growing up in his father’s restaurants in Connecticut, Max started cooking at fifteen, before pursuing a modelling and acting career between NYC and LA. When not in front of the camera, Max worked late nights cooking in some of those cities’ most popular restaurants. Now based in the UK with his wife and their 32 houseplants, Max has electrified social media with his easy-going and delicious plant-based meals that bridge the gap between vegan food and waste-free cooking. With over 1 million followers (and counting), Max’s original and inventive recipes have been featured in The Sunday Times, Vogue and Vice, and on the BBC and the Food Network. On the menu for Max’s week with us? Nailed on crowd pleasers like ‘Salted Tomatoes with Whipped Tofu & Garlicky Crumble’; ‘Grilled Courgette and Miso-Almond ‘Ricotta’ Involtini’; and ‘Cinnamon and Chocolate Churros’, matched with ‘wayward’ wines from the Wasted Wine Club.
