In Wahaca

Tommi wants you*

Tommi wants you

*to send her your recipes…

I have been learning so much about chillies from Mexicans, fellow food lovers and general chilli nuts that I thought it would be a fun, if slightly mad-capped idea to publish someone’s best ever Mexican recipe which uses chilli in my cookbook, ‘Mexican Food Made Simple’ , due out next April.

The idea is that anyone out there in cyberspace sends me their favourite Mexican recipe using chilli.  The recipe has to be easy to follow, not too complicated and use ingredients that you can get in the UK (even if that means sending off for a Mexican chilli by mail order).  If the recipe is good enough, the winning recipe goes into my book (as judged by Hodder, my publisher, some mystery chefs and me), whilst if there is a runner-up, they will be published in Wahaca’s “Ola London”, which we hand out to 10,000 people a week at Wahaca and several hundred journalists.

For all the cynics out there, I have now written most of my book which has to be handed in by the beginning of September, so time is of the essence!  If you are keen, send recipes to loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk before 4th September.

I am waiting with baited breath to see recipes!  Let’s start the British Chilli Revolution here!

Happy cooking….

Your Chance to Graffiti Canary Wharf

Calling all Street Artists: Enter our competition for your chance to leave your mark at Canary Wharf, and win £4000 in the process.

Art by Oliver Shaw

Wall art by Oliver Shaw

We’re looking for a Graffiti/ Street artist to fill a huge space (over 28m2) in our new site in Canary Wharf, opening October 2009.  Both street artists Oliver Shaw and Nuria, whose work was exhibited at the Tate Modern last year have worked with Wahaca in the past and we are looking for an equally exciting artist to take over our site and leave their mark.

Wahaca commissions site-specific pieces focusing on street and environmental art and is willing to pay up to £4,000 for this next commission (excluding materials).

How do I get involved??

We need to see a piece of your work that shows how you think your style would fit with Wahaca.  If you want to see the previous commissions, visit our site in Covent Garden (66 Chandos Place, WC2N 4HG) or White City (Westfield, Southern Terrace, W12 7GB) to get a feel for what Wahaca is about.

We will post all the entries onto the blog and ask readers to judge their favourite.  All entries must be submitted by the 23rd August and a winner will be announced at the beginning of September.  Site visits of the new Canary Wharf Wahaca can then be arranged with installation expected mid October.  The artists work will also feature in our Wahaca paper OLA London of which 30,000 are printed and distributed as well as appear in materials/ websites associated with the competition and Wahaca.

To enter email loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk with a picture of your work that best describes your style and please attach in no more than a 100 words an overview of what inspires you as well as any website or further useful information about you.  If you have further questions please call Mark on 07748148323.

For t’s and c’s please email loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk
