The 'almas caviar' of foodie events and one of the most anticipated dates in our diary saw Regent's Park transform into an alfresco, gourmet's paradise...
40 top restaurants from both the city and further afield, totalling an impressive eleven michelin stars, gathered together to whip up a delectable array of signature dishes and culinary delights.
We listened in awe to Ashley Palmer-Watts, Protégé of Heston, as he explained the inner workings of The Fat Duck (sigh), gorged on a few too many of The Bowler's famous meatballs - whilst perched on fairy stalls in The Secret Garden, attempted to consume our body weight in 'Rocktails' and went through more crowns than the Tower of London, all whilst basking in the London sun.
Our favourite dish was a toss-up between Barbecoa's burger and the mini fish & chips by Kensington Place - which in our opinion, should be renamed 'newspaper wrapped cones of heaven'.
It's hardly suprising our tastebuds have already begun the countdown to next year...!
