This dinner prepared by two-star Michelin chef Michael Caines will be a celebration of Oxford Gastronomica’s association with the festival. Guests will be joined by leading figures from the culinary scene.

Caines is an original British chef whose flagship restaurant Gidleigh Park, in Devon, has been voted second only to Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck for the last three years. He lost his right arm in a car accident shortly after starting as head chef at Gidleigh Park in 1994 but was soon back at work, earning his second Michelin star and gathering many awards and accolades, including an MBE. His first book, Michael Caines at Home, contains 100 recipes suitable for the domestic kitchen taken from a lifetime of cooking.

Oxford Gastronomica is a specialist centre for the study of food and drink based within the Oxford School of Hospitality Management at Oxford Brookes University. The dinner will also see the second annual award of the £7,500 Jeremy Mogford Prize for Food and Drink Writing.
