The best meal I have ever had, beating even the twelve part antipasto in a
Slow Food restaurant in Italy! It was exemplary, in terms of using high
quality local produce, identifying the origin on the menu and - really
importantly - the staff introduced each dish as it arrived, so that we knew
which vegetables had come from the garden and how the dish was prepared.

I thought that we could try to re-invigorate the group and organise a meeting for the new year. It doesn't seem realistic (at least for me) to read something and meet before Christmas.

Tamara has suggested a book which sounds ideal for us:
Jay Rayner, The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner

Let's set the date for Wednesday 20 January
7.30 pm at my house (37 Hayfield Rd, Oxford OX2 6TX)
I'll provide nibbles if others don't object to bringing a drink?

If this date turns out to be inconvenient for too many people I'll change it.
