-//The guests arrive, take off their coats, mill and chat at the entrance to the space. On a low table there is a glass bowl with mixed herbs and flowers for people to wash their hands. The kneel on the 'grass', while one of the chefs washes and dries their hands under a long table cloth. Drinks are served by a friendly barman. There is a choice: alcoholic and non-alcoholic, smoked and gaseous. The bite-sized finger food comes on sonic trays served by the gracious waiters and the two chefs. Soft sounds of crunching, popping and bubbling emerge from small speakers in the centre of the trays. Sounds of eating in and around the mouth mixing with chatter and whispers. Smoked potato skins and quail eggs, steamed syrup on a crunchy cracker, popping peppers, smoky water, bubbly wine and tea. //

-Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture. Smoke the strips in the stove smoker for a maximum of 10 minutes. Alternatively, use the smoking gun for 3 minutes. Lay them on the paper towel again. Heat up frying oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Fry the strips a few at a time till crisp and golden brown. Place them back onto the paper towel and sprinkle with salt. If you don't want to serve them right a way, wait till the peel cools and set aside in an airtight container until needed, but no longer than a few days.+Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture.

-//After half an hour of chatting and tasting, the head chef welcomes the guests and invites them to savour the evening and allow the hosts to take them through four 'movements'One by one the guests are lead by the waiters into the solitary space. When seatedthey receive a herbal water palate cleanser and are left to enjoy the dim lighting and incense smokeOnce everyone has taken their place, the lights go out, so that there are only twelve candles leftThe guests receive a small warm round pebble in their hands and are encouraged to close their eyesAfter a minute or two, three large cobble stones are brought to the room in rugged metal containers. Boiling water infused with essential oils is poured over the hot stones, filling the air with fragrant vapour and gentle sound of bubbling and hissing. The guests are left alone to sink deeper into the meditative atmosphere. After a few minutes, the first dish is served. Three rice cubes spiced with plant matter from the forest and the sea, Soft textures and tastes are punctuated with a salty zest of lemony raw samphire, all washed down with the fresh shadow grown gyokuro tea stalks. Next a warm broth is placed into the guests' hands. The hint of smoked mussels and beer lingers in clear warm water served in freshly baked bowls. All the while the sounds of water turning into steam emanate from tiny speakers spread on the ground and from a hurdy-gurdy plucked live somewhere far away...//+<html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/11192847204/" title="131122-193655 by _foamon Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3732/11192847204_db92e488ae_n.jpg" width="320" height="213" alt="131122-193655"></a></html>

-//The soup bowls remain warm for a while in the guests' hands, while the soup warms their bodiesOne by one the candles are moved from the solitary space to the three tables of the silent convivium. The sound migrates from the tiny speakers to a volume of sound raining down from the roof. At the same timea sweet, zingy scent emerges from the far corner of the roomFinally a warm yellow light illuminates the convivium and the guests are invited to find their place at the tablesA cool lemony sorbet is served to cleanse their palateThe sounds of smoking and steaming envelop the room. Glowing embers and bursting liquids, mingling with the voices from the kitchen. A beetroot wine is served. Thick and earthy, sweet and bitter. In the middle of the table the waiters place steamed garden, complete with soil and colourful 'compost' made of steamed root vegetables, served with small shovelsThe sounds weave in and out, adding timbre to the silence and short soft conversationsThe garden is followed by a fluffy steamed dumpling and its two smoked saucespiquant tomato and smooth cream. The flow continues with sweet basil seed water and a robust red wine, paired with wood wrapped mushrooms and tea steamed spinach, that come with potatoes wrapped in smoke. By now the silence is slowly becoming less silent, as the sharing of meals cooked on fire cannot but incite conversationsConversations about the food, the taste, the sound, the experienceTo awaken the palate a fresh green juice is offered just before the doors to the dessert room open.// +<html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/11192456785/" title="131122-202114 by _foamon Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3780/11192456785_12dd1254da_n.jpg" width="320" height="213" alt="131122-202114"></a></html><html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/10981538315/" title="L1007767 by _foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5487/10981538315_67e4a1bc7c_n.jpg" width="320" height="208" alt="L1007767"></a></html>

-// The doors to the kitchen are opened and it is announced that the dessert is servedThe guests walk into the kitchen, where the dishes were prepared and presentedOn the presentation table, still covered in notes and instructions the dessert spread is spiced with sound emanating from the table and around the room. Voices of the cooks from the speakers and the kitchen begin blending into an informal composition. The sounds of china and glasswaredescriptions of desserts, instructions on how to make green tea... The table is covered with small dishes and bite-sized morsels. Smoked cheeses with glazed quince, milk-steamed oolong tea, smoky caramels and tiramisu, steamed chestnuts, liquid whiskey and cigars. Slowly the volume of the conversation rises, the cooks leave their pots and pans and join the guests for cup of teaThe silence disappears, but the tastes and the sounds linger in the corners of people's smilesFinally the digestive Paan leaves are offeredto heat up the crucibles of the guests' stomachs and intestines where the next metabolic phase is about to begin. We share our gifts and say our farewells, leaving only the faintest traces of smoke and steam to linger in the fading light...//+<html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/11192368523/" title="131122-212848 by _foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3831/11192368523_848ed0bda1_n.jpg" width="320" height="213" alt="131122-212848"></a></html><html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/10981543915/" title="L1007770 by _foamon Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2875/10981543915_647a7bc656_n.jpg" width="320" height="178" alt="L1007770"></a></html>
