Join Komorebi Kitchen for an evening of seasonal cooking, centred around vegetables and locally foraged food.
Traces brings together six courses shaped by locally foraged ingredients, fermentation, preservation, fire and Japanese cooking techniques.
Each course explores a different kind of trace, from the landscape an ingredient comes from, to the marks left by fire, the transformation that happens through time, and the memories and places that influence the way we cook.
The evening extends beyond the plate, bringing together food, sound and artistic collaboration to create a shared experience that is unique to the space and the people within it. Sounds from the surrounding landscape, natural materials and temporary artistic interventions will become part of the evening, creating an atmosphere that changes and unfolds alongside the food.
Drawing on the changing landscape around us, the menu moves between familiar and unexpected flavours, using preservation and fermentation to transform seasonal ingredients and extend their life beyond the moment in which they are found. The supper itself is temporary food is created, experienced and then disappears; sounds are heard and then are gone; and traces are left behind.
Expect a thoughtful six-course dining experience that highlights the richness and versatility of local ingredients and the quiet rituals of gathering, preparing and sharing food, alongside sound and artistic elements created specifically for the evening.
Arrival from: 6.30pm
Supper begins: 7.00pm
Please note: This is a six-course plant-based menu.
About Komorebi Kitchen
Komorebi Kitchen is the travelling plant-based kitchen of chef and founder Josh, whose cooking is rooted in a fascination with seasonality, Japanese food culture and the natural world.
Drawing on his experience cooking and travelling in Japan and beyond, Josh works with British ingredients through techniques including fermentation, preservation, fire cooking and foraging. His approach is led by curiosity and a desire to understand ingredients more deeply where they come from, how they change over time and how they can be used in ways that reveal rather than disguise their character.
Through Komorebi Kitchen, Josh explores the connections between food, landscape, memory and place, creating dishes that are thoughtful, seasonal and grounded in their surroundings.
This supper brings that practice to the Foyle Rooms at Turner Contemporary, creating an evening where food, sound, art and landscape come together in a shared and temporary experience.
