Sculpture & Paintings
Barbara Röder is a sculptor who hails from Germany and has been

of stone including sandstone, marble, slate, granite and limestone
Röder's sculpture manifests an incredible sensitivity,
gentleness of spirit and subject matter: yet tough, bold and impeccable
perfection of design and material.

each subject as it touches our minds. Admission Free. Garter Lane

Asian cooking is an art, derived over the centuries from a variety
of sources; factors such as religion, health, customs and even climatic
conditions have each played their part. Mealtimes in an Asian household
are like ceremonial occassions. The food is a gift from the Deity
and should be prepared with due respect. At Taste of Asia we present
Tandoori, Makhani,
Korma, Passanda, Tikka Masala, Dhansak, Rogan Josh, Dopiaza, Bhuna,
Karahi, Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Vindaloo and Biryani dishes prepared
with as much reverence to these traditions. Come to our household
and enjoy food fit for a Mughal Emperor.
