Kathy Slack from Gluts & Gluttony
Award-winning food writer and cook Kathy Slack, founder of Gluts & Gluttony and formerly of Daylesford Cookery School, has announced the 2020 dates for her seasonal pop-up feasts. Taking place every last Friday of the month in Chipping Norton, in the Cotswolds, Kathy’s four-course organic feast showcases the harvests from her own kitchen garden.
Dates for Gluts & Gluttony supper clubs throughout 2020
Friday 28 February | Friday 27 March | Friday 24 April | Friday 29 May | Friday 26 June
Friday 31 July | Friday 25 September | Friday 30 October | Friday 27 November
Every month the menu puts home-grown vegetables, picked fresh and at their most abundant and tastiest, at the centre. It’s not vegetarian, but vegetables are the stars of the show, supported by the seasonal ingredients from local producers. In the Spring months guests can expect seasonal dishes such as Rhubarb and Rose Cured Trout or Wild Garlic Tortellini and Herby Broad Beans while in the colder months there might be Venison, Cabbage and Apple Remoulade and Pickled Berries or Winter Vegetable Pithivier and for pudding, Quince & Panettone Trifle.
On the supper club night, guests will be welcomed with a seasonal cocktail and nibbles at 7:30pm. At 8pm, everyone will sit down at the communal table to a meal piled high on sharing platters full of vibrant colours and flavours. Throughout the evening Kathy will talk about the food - how it’s grown and cooked - and guests will leave around 10:30pm.
Kathy says: “What I like about the supper club format is that it’s just the right balance between catching up with friends and meeting new people. If you’ve booked as a group, you’ll be sat together but on the communal table, so you’ll have a chance to chat to new people if you want. Plus, everyone’s there to enjoy the same thing so it’s an ideal way to meet like-minded folk.”

About Kathy Slack and Gluts & Gluttony
After 12 years as a brand strategist for London advertising agencies, the fun had been had and the rat race was taking its toll. Kathy quit, with no idea what to do next. Rural life beckoned and, as well as starting her blog, Gluts & Gluttony, she took a job growing vegetables at Daylesford organic farm in Kingham, Gloucestershire and later worked in the cookery school. Three years, several placements and lots of training later, G&G has grown into a full-time venture with Kathy teaching private cookery classes, hosting supperclubs and cooking at festivals and events such as River Cottage, Borough Market, Wilderness Festival and Big Feastival. She also writes for publications such as delicious magazine, Waitrose Food, The Simple Things, The Independent and develops recipes for brands including Sharpham Park and Organic UK. Kathy is 41 and lives with her husband, Paul, and their springer spaniel in the Cotswolds.
