Chefs and Farmers at Madoo!

We are delighted to invite local chefs and farmers for our 2025 winter lecture series. The conversations between the participants will concentrate on the background of producing food on small farms and turning it into delicious dishes. How did the East End go from growing potatoes to gourmet vegetables? And how has our restaurant scene changed? The availability of local produce has surely influenced menus across the East End but who drove the change, the chefs or the farmers?Join us for what will surely be an delicious conversation!
