On 21 and 22 April, Islington's Everyman Screen on the Green will be teaming up with Great British Chefs and Celebrity Cruises to lay on an immersive culinary screening of The Hundred-Foot Journey.

Pascal Aussignac and Alfred Prasad, both Michelin-starred chefs, will be masterminding the event, which will include a cocktail and canapé reception at the cinema, before moving into the auditorium which will be decked out lavishly according to the theme.

The first time that food and cinema have been combined to such an extent, Silver Screen Cuisine will be a long way from the familiar filmgoing territories of popcorn and pick-and-mix. The hundred year old Everyman auditorium has the perfect air of old-guard luxury to complement the occasion, which has been curated, say the chefs, without being too prescriptive, nor compromising on flavour with a number of emerging themes and experimental dishes that aim to make guests truly feel the food they're seeing.

About the chefs

Aussignac, of Club Gascon and Prasad, former Executive Chef at Tamarind, are expertly placed to represent the food of France and India, and if you haven’t yet seen The Hundred Foot-Journey (or even if you have) this is a great opportunity to experience the heightened inter-continental atmosphere of the film with some specially curated dishes.

The menu will, as expected, present a fusion of French and Indian fare in keeping with the film's subject.

The Hundred-Foot Journey, released in 2014, follows an Indian family who open a restaurant directly across the street from an upscale French restaurant, owned by a haughty Madame (Helen Mirren). The two polarised restauranteurs then battle it out for supremacy over their small Alpine town.
