Spent the morning filming at Ganapati in Peckham Rye. Ganapati is a South Indian restaurant run by an English lady who is an unassuming expert on the cuisine of Kerala. She is a skilled chef and can be found bringing Ganapati’s exquisite dishes to life in the kitchen. She wasn’t interested in a film that gave an overview of the business but rather wanted FF to craft something which brought Ganapati’s recipe cards to life (which are available to buy). We filmed three dishes (there are 40 recipes in the box set) from start to finish – ingredients, cooking at every stage, presentation – with filming taking place simultaneously for the three dishes which had varying amounts of preparation and cooking. It was a very busy morning with the deadline looming of lunch service – but I think we nailed it. And to top it off I was served a sumptuous lunch afterward which, in my honest opinion, was sensational. I’ve been working on the Tease clip for the films, so let me serve that up as a starter for you right now…
