In recognition of London Fashion Week’s 25th Anniversary celebrations, the Jemma Kidd menu is priced at £25, with £5 from every menu sold going to charity. Everyone who orders the menu will be given a Jemma Kidd Make Up School goodie bag including lip gloss and ultra soft cleansing wipes, with a value of over £30 to thank them for their support.
Kidd said: “I’ve been in the industry for many years both in front of and behind the cameras. There’s still a myth that all models live on salad leaves. I love my food and have been coming to Papillon for years. I wanted to do something to support such a worthy cause and we came up with a menu of my favourite dishes.”
“These are my dinner party staples that I rely on time and again. The secret of my rack of lamb is a drop or two of Worcestershire sauce in the gravy to give it a real depth of flavour. it’s a simple cheat, but it works.”
David Duverger, head chef, Papillon, agreed: “The charity is dear to my heart having lost my young nephew to cancer seven years ago. At Christmas I sold myself on eBay for Christmas day and raised £6,000 for Children with Leukaemia. I wanted to find another way to continue the fundraising and Jemma came up with some fantastic dishes for a special menu. We get a lot of visitors from London Fashion Week as it is just down the road from us – I think they’ll be curious to see Jemma turn her hand to another craft.”
The menu will be available at Papillon throughout London Fashion Week (20 – 25 February 2009) www.papillonchelsea.co.uk
