Carluccio’s is gathering the finest wild and cultivated mushrooms from home and abroad for this year’s Mushroom Markets in the caffe. On 15th & 16th October the caffe will be transformed to recreate the bustle of an Italian food market with stalls piled high with delicious mushroom groceries and mushroom “street” food. Famous Italian chef and caffe owner, Antonio Carluccio will also pop in at 2.00pm on both days to give cooking demonstrations and advice. Copies of his latest book, The Quiet Hunt will be available to buy and have signed prior to the book’s official launch. Mike de Stroumillo, a mushroom expert, will also be giving talks at 11.30am and 4.30pm both days. Call Carluccio’s on 020 7719 1749 for further details.

This is a free event.
