-**DRAFT** for the LateLab Open Sauces menu. The dishes and the flow are still very much a work in progress.+ 
 +The menu is the result of the [[food futures]] scenario building experiment. We created the menu proposal based on [[food scenarios]], then designed the dishes in collaboration between FoAM and Ginny Hunter from [[http://blueskycatering.wix.com/bluesky-catering|Blue Sky Catering]]. The menu was prepared and served by Ginny & Co.

 +FoAM, Amanda, Marc (?) introduction of the evening. FoAM talks about the motivation for the evening, food futures, how we designed the menu based on four possible future scenarios, looking at how the relationship between food, wellness and the environment could evolve. We present the four scenarios as small amuse bouches and describe the futures of: [[food_scenarios_continue|continuation]], [[[[food_scenarios_discipline|discipline]]', [[[[food_scenarios_collapse|collapse]] and [[[[food_scenarios_transform|transformation]].
