It’s an evening I will never forget: a dreamy-mystical picnic in the middle of a forest, accompanied by ethereal sounds, waving ribbons in rustling trees and delicious cuisine in tiffin boxes. This was back in the summer of 2021, and my hosts were Yulia Roth and Laura Iriondo from Fortuna Forest. Together they create food and drink concepts in collaboration with artists, and luckily for us they have a dinner coming up this Sunday, 19.12.2021. Instead of a picnic in the forest (because, well, winter), the dinner will be held indoors, though I’m sure it will be just as magical. Wherever the location, the duo always manage to create unusual and inspiring atmospheres.
This time, diners will be joined by musicians Propinquity with a dreamy set and Alizée Lenox on guitar. Hosted in a spacious loft, the event is billed as an “Eastern European extravaganza”, with a theme inspired by the 1966 Czechoslovakian film “Daisies”. I know that the food will be fantastic, since Laura – who also runs the catering service Taube Grau – always gets it right with her contemporary, fresh and light cuisine. And there are sure to be well-selected natural wines and bold drinks from Yulia. It’s set to be (another) evening to remember.
