The
farm to fork movement is having a moment. Produce-led,
seasonal menus are on the up, with many UK eateries favouring
small-scale farming over big supply chains. Not only is this hugely
beneficial to the environment, but the food
tastes fresher and is more flavoursome. We’ve rounded up
the UK’s best authentically farm to table restaurants.

What?
C&TH are pleased to invite you to a special
event hosted by Tricia Guild, founder of Designers Guild.
Taking place at the shop’s Chelsea branch, guests will enjoy an
exclusive in-store workshop which promises to help you find your
individual sense of colour and pattern. During the masterclass,
Tricia and her team will guide guests through the often tricky
process of creating a mood board, advise on how to best collate

fabric and home accessories based on your individual findings.
The event promises to be the perfect opportunity to
explore and refine your colour sense, and will help you become
more confident when using colour, texture, patterns and plains.
Breakfast will be provided, and each guest will be able to take
home a goody bag which includes a Designers Guild fragrance diffuser.

Sundaram
Tagore Gallery and curator Betty Seid present an exhibition of works by 11
abstract artists with deep ties to the Indian subcontinent. While abstraction
has long been part of artistic practice in the region, this exhibition
concentrates on the current landscape, spotlighting innovative process-driven
works.
On view will be a
selection of paintings, drawings, installations and sculpture by artists who
manipulate text, photography and digital reproductions among other media to
yield visually compelling results.e.

Short Story Selection
Life
isn’t exactly easy; there are decisions to make, heartbreak, death, and every
conceivable action. Dominga is an EMT who seems to care too much about
things. She wants to save every life she can, on or off the job, no matter
the risk.
Her friend Nico,
on the other hand, can’t seem to get anything to go his way. He seems to want
out of life, not suicide, more like never having existed in the first place.
When Dominga gains the power to do just that, she still feels as if she must
help her friend rather than become an indifferent cosmic entity.

another installment of 'Make Mozz Drink Wine' at Kesté’s Fulton Street

Not only will you
gain hands-on experience, but you’ll also enjoy complimentary glasses of
house red and white wines for the afternoon (did somebody say, “SUNDAY
FUNDAY!?”) while learning first-hand all about mozzarella.

Gallery is pleased to announce our second exhibition of new work by Elad
Lassry.
Lassry creates
interruptions and tension in evaluating images and objects. Referring to his
pictures as "units," his works establish and aggregate an archival
syntax that pushes photographs into other things, a destabilization where
each specific picture is both present and absent and simultaneously
implicates other proposals.
For this
exhibition, Lassry shows photographs and sculptures that alternate between
flat experience and dimensionality.

Short Story Selection
Lou
is a lonely man, living at home with a cat, and no friends to speak of. He
doesn’t make much money but loves online shopping.
When a
Crimestoppers camera he orders ends up causing the crimes he records, he
starts getting some wild ideas. Including leading a small gang (if one can
even call them that).
A young girl at
the mall catches his eye but his reliance on the camera leads to trouble.
