SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE
Vivek Singh’s Curry For Carers
Celebrity chef Vivek Singh (of The Cinnamon Club fame) is hosting a ‘Curry for Carers’ masterclass on Saturday 9th July at 4pm to raise money and awareness for Carers Worldwide, a charity that supports unpaid carers and their families in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Broadcast live over Zoom from the Cinnamon Kitchen City kitchens, Vivek will first show you how to prepare two of his signature dishes: spice crusted seabass wrapped in banana leaf, and spiced paneer with chillies, before baking the sweet Indian dish thekua – a recipe from one of the family members supported by the charity.

GET VACATION-READY
Love Brand & Co Pop-Up
Regular SLMan readers will know how much we rate Love Brand & Co’s swimwear and holiday essentials, so we were excited to hear the sustainable brand has now launched a pop-up on St Christopher’s Place in the West End. Shoppers can browse the new collection of swimming shorts and resortwear, and shop holiday essentials like linen shirts, polos and luggage – we’ve got our eye on the printed swimming trunks.

BOOK AHEAD
Genevieve Taylor x Two Tribes
On Wednesday 13th July from 6pm, BBQ master and food writer Genevieve Taylor is hosting an open-fire cooking night at Two Tribes’ Campfire taproom in King’s Cross. Diners can try new dishes from her book Seared, like smoky chicken burgers with red slaw; tandoori venison kebabs with flatbreads, salad, mint yogurt dressing, date and coriander chutney; steak and chips butties with mustard mayo and watercress; and jerk-spiced plantain and halloumi. Wash yours down with a couple of ice cold Two Tribes beer – we rate its classic Session IPA. DJ Charles Webster will set the vibe on the deck and you ask Genevieve to sign a copy of her book.
