Quaglino’s Partners With Masterchef Star Pookie For One Night Only With An Extraordinary Menu
Quaglino’s, the renowned Mayfair restaurant located in the heart of St James, has partnered exclusively with Masterchef 2022 Star, Pookie, for one night only to give diners an exclusive opportunity to be one of the first to try Pookie’s iconic dishes that made her a household name on the hit TV show. Taking place on Friday 22nd September 2023, guests can pre-book their tables online in order to ensure they don’t miss out on a coveted spot to try the delectable dishes and meet Pookie herself.
Quaglino’s will be adding two legendary Pookie dishes and one cocktail to their menu for this night only, including the divine Salsa Cremosa di TomYum ai Fruitti di Mare - a tantalising mix of cod, king prawns and clams with a tom-yum cream sauce. Those with a sweet tooth will have the chance to try the flavour explosion of the Pina Cotta Colada, Pookie’s famous twist on the classic panna cotta dessert. These can be enjoyed with the perfect accompaniment of the Pookalicious Cocktail, an experimental blend with a vodka and lychee base. All items were given high praise from each of the Masterchef judges, all in awe of Pookie’s fearless approach to pushing boundaries and mixing flavours.
Jack Smith, Executive Head Chef at Quaglino’s comments: “Partnering with Pookie for this evening felt like a natural synergy, as her artistic approach to creating new dishes is something we have always done at Quaglino’s. We’re always looking for fun ways to bring ingredients to life, so I’m excited to be working with Pookie for what we know will be a joyous evening for our guests to try these new dishes.”
Pookie, Masterchef Star comments: “Following my brilliant experience on Masterchef, I’ve been itching to bring my dishes to life again and give people the chance to taste my creations for themselves. I’m so excited to be working with Jack and the whole Quaglino’s team, it has been a fun process creating this menu and I can’t wait to meet everyone that attends on what I know will be a very entertaining evening.”
Guests can sit back and revel in this hard-to-forget sensory experience; absorbing fantastic live music in one of London’s most elegant settings, whilst sipping delicious cocktails and feasting on the finest food from the unique, A La Carte menu and Pookie’s one time additions. An incredible event that will prove hard to leave at the end of the night.
