Step into the Chef’s Theatre for an unforgettable evening celebrating the vibrant soul of North African plant-based cuisine with award-winning cookbook author Elvira Rodriguez Alonso.
This immersive dinner experience invites guests beyond the table and into the creative energy of the kitchen, where bold spices, seasonal vegetables, ancient grains and fragrant herbs come together in dishes that are as nourishing as they are deeply satisfying.
Throughout the evening, Elvira shares the stories, traditions and inspirations behind her cooking — offering insight into the cultural roots of each course while demonstrating techniques that bring plant-based cuisine to life with richness, depth and generosity.
Expect interactive moments, passionate storytelling and layered flavours that transport you from bustling souks to sun-drenched coastal kitchens. Watch as each dish is prepared live, engage with the chef, and savour a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu designed to surprise, delight and inspire.
This is more than a dinner — it’s a celebration of connection, discovery and the extraordinary possibilities of plant-forward cooking.
Come hungry. Leave inspired.
