Olia Hercules visited Mainstreet a few years ago with her first cookbook, Mamushka. We are delighted to welcome her back for our first ever ‘Pop-up Dining’ event. Olia will be cooking for us from her new book, Kaukasis.

“Olia Hercules is a storyteller-foodwriter, and a wholly original voice in the kitchen – there’s not a recipe of hers I don’t want to cook immediately.” Nigella Lawson

Kaukasis is a celebration of the food and flavours of the Caucasus – the vibrant area bridging Europe and Asia. Olia introduces us to more than 100 recipes of vibrant, earthy and unexpected dishes. Recipes include Chestnut plov with pumpkin and walnut crust, Quince stuffed with lamb & caramelised shallots, Armenian “cognac” profiteroles, Plum fruit leather and Red basil sherbet. Hungry yet?

“This is an incredible book – as I began to leaf through I started to smile, and I didn’t stop.” Diana Henry

Spaces will be limited for this very special event, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Tues-Sat 10-5pm · Sunday 11-4:30pm
Please note: last orders for the Café must be made 30 minutes before closing time
