I spent a couple of days as part of the production team supporting PIE<\/a> (Power, Intent and Evolution) which was held this weekend at Croydon Hall in Somerset. PIE is one of Concord Institute’s key residential programmes, the intention of which is ‘to cross the threshold of the known, ie the tried and the true, and enter the realm of the unknown in order to explore and map new terrains of awareness.’ As ever, the kitchen plays a significant role in the journey for participants, and all involved. Once again I was blessed to work with Master Chef Jean Torn\u00e9, who came over from Switzerland to head the kitchen team.<\/p>\n
