Camilla Dallerup cooks Steaks with Blue Cheese

by Andrew on December 13, 2012 in Television, Radio, Video, Film with No comments

The festive season is nearly upon us and, this year, ex-Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, who’s currently starring in Panto as the Fairy Godmother, is joining forces with Red Tractor beef and lamb for a ‘Festive Fairies’ campaign to give Mums a helping hand with their Christmas preparations.

In many families, Mum plays the role of the Christmas fairy. If it weren’t for her efforts, Christmas just wouldn’t be a success. But, for many Mums, and plenty of Dads too, all they want at Christmas is their own festive fairy to help them with the cooking, shopping, wrapping and entertaining.

Camilla Dallerup says:

“Christmas was always a fantastic time in my house. There’s nothing quite like mum’s cooking at Christmas, my whole family always looked forward to it for ages before the day. Every year my mum used to say how much hard work goes into the Christmas preparations so that everyone can enjoy the day, and I only realised exactly how much time when we started having Christmas at my house! Mums always appreciate a helping hand, so in my role as Festive Fairy, I’ll be showing people how quick and easy it is to make great food for all the family, without the fuss.”

Mercedes Drive Thru

Bompas & Parr – Melt People’s Brains from The Avant/Garde Diaries on Vimeo.

Digital interview magazine “The Avant/Garde Diaries” is inviting guests to enjoy an interdisciplinary art and dining experience in London between the 14th and 16th September, 2012.

The festival is being curated by leading food artists Sam Bompas and Harry Parr. The British duo is designing a temporary, driveable restaurant – the MERCEDES DRIVE THRU – in the lobby of the old Selfridges Hotel on Oxford Street (Mayfair). Together with the British multimedia collective the Jason Bruges Studio, they are presenting a spectacular mix of food and light art designed to turn the enjoyment of dining in a car into an exceptional sensory experience.

“The Avant/Garde Diaries project enables great creative talent to get together. Avant-gardists from the most diverse of areas are able to create new ideas which both inspire and excite at the same time”, explains Sam Bompas, co-founder of Bompas & Parr.

“Mercedes is a brand with a high standard of quality, and the aesthetics of Mercedes design are a great inspiration for us. We create luxury dining, Mercedes produces luxury cars – working together to create the world’s best “drive thru” is therefore an obvious collaboration.”

In the MERCEDES DRIVE THRU, guests drive along the marbled floor of the old building in the car and place their food order – accompanied by a spectacular light show – after which their meal will be served direct to the car by roller-skating service staff.

Through the interaction of food, light and the unique design of the restaurant, the driver is offered a new, interactive and unforgettable dining experience. The MERCEDES DRIVE THRU is therefore looking to re-explore the environment of the motor car on a performance, experimental and sensory level and at the same time indulge guests with exquisite and provocative specialities.

Opening hours of the Mercedes Drive Thru:
Friday, September 14th: 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 15th: 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 16th: 12:00 p.m. – 06:00 p.m.

The video doesn’t show much in regards to Mercedes Drive Thru, apart from a bit of jelly, but covers the background of Bompass & Parr.

I’ve been visiting The Foodie List for a few months now and really like it! I’m reaching out to you because of a video on youtube that I thought your other readers may enjoy. It’s a video of a crazy vending machine put in a mall in Australia that gets people to do hilarious things in order to get a snack for free.

The neat part of this story is I actually am in the crowd in part of the clip, so I’m pretty excited about it all! It was pretty crazy I happened upon a big group of people surrounding the machine and random dancing haha.
