Refettorio Felix, a project born thanks to the collaboration between Food for Soul, St Cuthbert's, The Felix Project and London Food Month, completed its first day of service. The first chef to take his place in the brand new kitchen was Massimo Bottura. The Food for Soul founder created a menu starting from 50 boxes of extra ingredients that were handed in the morning by charity The Felix Project. Bottura transformed many different vegetables into a rich soup, followed by a pesto with breadcrumbs and an Earl Grey ice cream with biscuits, a tribute to the famous British tradition.

Speaking of restyling, Ilse Crawford commented: «Beauty has no bounds, it is a universal right». As for the canteen and the service, we’re not open to the public. You can visit Refettorio Felix during the week from 4 to 5 pm. Refettorio Felix will remain open as a culture, inspiration and social inclusion incubator, thanks to the essential help of four main sponsors: Westfield, Grundig, Lavazza and Felicetti, and of the technical partners: Aerende, Agnelli, Artemide, Bunker, Carpigiani, Giblor’s, Lassco, London Linen Group, Mutina&Domus, Pavoni, Royal Doulton, Wayward andWinnow. Individual donations can contribute to the cause in an equally substantial way. Just visit www.refettoriofelix.com
