Number 68 Project - Sweet and Soulful: Vibrant colours and Ilana Lorraine, May 23

Two words seemed fairly apt when describing Ilana Lorraine as an artist, both sweet and soulful and such was the brief I gave to Wyatt. While her lyrics are filled with positive cues to embrace the big and the small, the harmony of her upbringing, jazz, reggae, and Jewishness evoke some serious soul, so when I asked Wyatt to plan his menu, I was forced to say two things - 'think incredibly sweet and powerfully soulful'.

The translation for Wyatt was a seasonal, fresh, menu declaring that "spring has finally arrived", and by the look at the temperature outside, he might consider a career change. It included flavours of elderflower and strawberry and drew from images of Ilana sitting around a massive family meal, and travels to Israel - using figs and honey to perfectly enhance the flavours of quail. He said when he listened to her music he was inspired by a woman brewing with richness in her life. Wyatt gravitated towards these rich components - truffle butter and foie gras and then adorning plates with edible violet petals. Dawid Koegelenberg chose overtly floral wines with names like Alice and Belinda made from women winemakers. Mission - develop a menu around Ilana - sweet, soulful and endorsed by her fans - Mission Accomplished!

SO WHAT IS NUMBER68 YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF???
Ever heard of a pop up restaurant??

Number 68 Project brings you a limited series of seven evenings of
conceptual food, fine wine, art, performance and spoken word set in
an intriguing pop-up venue with a rich history.

Launched on 28 March, 2010, Number 68 Project came about when Dalston
Dining Club and Urban Sage decided to combine the best that each club
had to offer. Each event is specially designed as a themed combination of
food, wines and performance.

We aim to create an unusual, exciting and memorable evening, which will include:
A 4 to 7 course menu of conceptual food designed around ritual, performance and storytelling by a Cordon Bleu Chef and other visiting Chefs with quality meat and fish sourced from Billingsgate and Smithfield courtesy of Marky Market
Wines will be chosen to enhance each course by expert
suppliers. We are working with two suppliers:
Ten Green Bottles, which offer little-known Italian wines
of great quality, flair and regional expression,
and Red, White or Pink
Performances by singers, storytellers, artists, writers and
passionate thinkers of all sorts
