Just set up ferdiesfoodlab! Our 1st event was on bank holiday weekend 27th Aug, which by all accounts was well received, here's a little bit about it from facebook page. . . .
There is no table for 2 at ferdiesfoodlab. Come socialise. The menu is designed with great care, attention and a sense of fun. It comes out on platters encouraging folk to share and talk to each other. We don't sell wine, it's BYO, so people can buy nice wine to match with the food without paying a premium on it. (we send a recommendation)
I hope that one reason people come to ferdiesfoodlab is because the event is in collaboration with Toynbee Hall. Toynbee Hall is an organisation working to fight poverty in the local community and on a larger scale & all manner of workshops and social schemes, giving the poorest access to services that would otherwise be out of reach. So people can have a great time at the banquet safe in the knowledge that they are contributing to the local community.
ferdiesfoodlab is an opportunity to meet new people and eat great food, made from the freshest possible ingredients combined and served in innovative ways! Eat drink and be merry, it's about having a ball, I mean banquet! : )
If you'd like to book please email bookings@ferdiesfoodlab.co.uk

Previous to ferdiesfoodlab - Ski Season Verbier & Fernandez and Leluu
I speak fluent English (1st language) and fluent Spanish and a little French
For the last 15 months I've been running a supper club in London (www.fernandezandleluu.co.uk) as Head Chef I've been working with an additional 1 - 6 kitchen staff depending on the venue and number of guests and 2 - 4 front of house staff. Normally serving 28 guests a 7 course meal from 7pm - 10.30/11pm. The menu is designed so that it can be created in a domestic kitchen, requiring careful consideration and prioritisation of prep, plate and service timing.
I also take our team to other venues with professional kitchens. This involves assessing the kitchen and venue to understand what limitations the particular kitchen and venue might impose on the menu. In general having professional kitchen to work with allows more flexibility in the menu that can be produced for our guests/clients, but this is not always the case.
My responsibilities include:
* Creating/designing and testing a new menu to meet a budget every 2 weeks. This includes perfecting guests favourites and developing the menu further based on their feedback. Using seasonal and local produce where possible to maintain high standards in quality of ingredients.
* Compiling and maintaining our menu spec sheets and costing, allowing analysis for cost and service improvements to be made over time. This includes doing a "lessons learn't" (what improvements can we make?) at the end of each menu cycle.
* Liaising with our guests to welcome them make them feel at home (literally) and, at the end of the evening engaging them for critical feedback where ever possible, enabling improvements where required.
* Building solid relationships with our suppliers to allow us to achieve cost effective menus with high quality ingredients.
* Building relationships with the food blogging community and various PR agencies to build brand equity.
* Communicating with clients either by mail or in person to understand their requirements, budgets, manage expectations and deliver an evening to delight both clients and guests. (Events for After Eight, Unearthed (for Action Against Hunger), Riveta, Green & Blacks, Jamie Oliver plus various private events)
* Tracking allergies and special requirements for each evening and providing appropriate alternatives for those guests.
* Taking health and safety training in an effort to provide professional hygiene standards whether running from a domestic environment or from a professional kitchen.
* Food Styling for PR and and presentation purposes, including the mechanics of the dish to allow unimpeded service. Also photographing dishes during service.
Further:
I am passionate about creating great food and a nice environment for people to eat it in, and I absolutely love snowboarding!
To give an idea of how passionate I am I have listed some of the things people have said about the food I've prepared below. Since starting the supper club 15 months ago it has generated a huge amount of interest as well as many favourable reviews, please see below.
I've been a software engineer for 10 years so I am very computer and network literate, and have taken a number of projects from inception to completion both as a team member and as a team lead.
My friend Uyen has just started a PR company and we're scaling down the supper club for the winter. So I'm taking to opportunity to do a season.

- - - - The London Food Community - - - -
The London Foodie - "We had a marvellous time yesterday, the food was sensational!"Eva - "I would definitely like to come again "
Chris - "thanks so much we had a lovely time and the food was fantastic - I especially enjoyed the sausage in cider and the chick peas"
Parin - "Thank you so much for last night. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the food was superb!"
Michael - "We particularly enjoyed the monkfish main with the squid ink risotto, and the taste of the cardamom ice cream was a winner."
Princess and Recipe
"The chips were Hind's Head worthy, well seasoned and perfectly crispy."
"Apparently the virtuous Simon and Uyen had been up til 1.30am the previous night making them, and their efforts had clearly paid off." [SIC]
"The quality of cooking is fantastic"
Matthew - "Impressive stuff."
Mr Truffle - "An outstanding meal - quality and attention to detail"
Tom - "thanks so much or such a wonderful supper. It really was one of the best meals I have had for ages (food, ambience and all)."
The London Foodie - "I am not a great fan of meatballs but even I had to admit that F&L’s were rather good. . . . I love having my food prejudices challenged like this."
Gin and Crumpets - "reassuringly long section about food hygiene on their blog."
GastroGeek
"bloody brilliant"
"Stamped with personality, authenticity and wit – anyone that serves sashimi with double fried chips is always going to be a decent sort in my books."
Saj - "everyone has been raving about it."
Feast on Scraps
"the lamb was cooked to perfect pinkness, and was so tender, the knife glided through the juicy meat with ease"
A Pinch of Salt - "fantastic hosts"
Ephemerette
"melt in the mouth cubes of tuna . . . perfectly crispy 'Ferdie Chips' . . . . If I could have this dish everyday for lunch I would, it was easily the best sashimi I've had for years."
"orange and vodka panna cotta with a berry sauce . . . look at it - how could you not?"
The Happiness Project
"Some hosts are good through practice and some are naturals - Simon and Uyen fall into the latter category."

- - - - The Food, Presentation - - - -
 |
| Mackerel Pate, served on Chicory and garnished w/ Fennel, Chervil & Coriander Seeds - - Pre-prepared plate put the quenelle into chicory and dress. Starter for 4 |
 |
| Black Squid Ink Risotto w/ Prawns, Squid & Saffron Mayonaise Garnished w/ Baby Octopus - - It's amazing how such a simple set of ingredients can generate such an delighted reaction. This dish never fails but would be difficult to mass (more than 30) produce without a dedicated station. |
 |
| Duck in Quince & Red Peppercorn Sauce with a Micro Cassoulet served w/ Green Beans & Edamame in a Basil Emulsion - - This dish is a fantastic combination of flavours and will scale (from 4 - 20 people for example) simply. Crowd pleaser. |
 |
| Pain au Bacon served w/ Invisible Tomato - - The invisible tomato is a playful name for a shot of tomato and Basil Consommé. The consommé is clear but has a confusingly present flavour which is clean and complements the full flavours of the bacon pastry. |
 |
| Apple Tart Tatin w/ Rosewater Cream or Cinnamon Cream - - Classic |
 |
| Sweet Spicy Coated Soft Shell Crab on a Bed of Crispy Coriander - - This is simply fantastic and makes superb Japanese Rolls, not for economy menus! |
 |
| Prawn Cocktail served w/ Green Mayo and Garnished w/ Salmon Roe - - Visually attractive, usually serve this with a combination of other elements. |
 |
| Pea & Basil Soup w/ Parmesan & Ham Hock - - Never misses. Guests who don't like soup or peas always feedback how amazed they were with the pea soup, always a favourite on what ever menu it's on and described by one guest as "orgasmic", which did put a smile on my face! |
 |
| Summer Fruit Pudding - - Probably not on for winter menus! |
 |
| Pan Fried Rainbow Trout on a Glass Noodle and Ginger Broth - - Visual, good, inexpensive - medium labour requirement. |
 |
| Small Selection of Canapes |
