The worlds of food and music will merge for a night during London Food Month when some of the capital’s top chefs try their hand at DJ-ing.

Ceviche founder Martin Morales, a chef and DJ who has performed with Basement Jaxx and The White Stripes, is hosting the Turning the Turntables event.

Melissa Hemsley, Clove Club’s Daniel Willis, Yianni Popoutsis from Meat Liquor, Harneet Baweja from Gunpowder and Madame D, and Carl Clarke from Chick ’n’ Sours will serve up one of their favourite dishes before playing some top tunes.

London Food Month co-curator Grace Dent, Columbia Road baker Lily Vanilli and Jacob Kennedy from Bocca Di Lupo will also be playing, eating and cooking as will Neil Rankin from Temper.

Artists DJ Yoda — who is a trained chef — and Mister G and Andy Morris will be at the event, from 5pm to 11pm on June 24 at Ceviche Old Street. Tickets are £48.

The dishes will include DJ Yoda’s Turkish pizza mash-up — Peruvian bread, lamb seco, queso fresco, pomegranate and huacatay leaves — and Morales’s Don Ceviche, with sea bass, amarillo chilli tiger’s milk, sweet potato, red onion and limo chilli.

DJ Mister G is preparing his Granny’s Curry — a lamb curry with pancake chilli, cayenne pepper, all-spice cumin seeds, coriander rice and salsa.

Hemsley will do one of the desserts: avocado cheesecake with Peruvian avocados, cream cheese and chocolate crumble. She said: “If music be the food of love, then surely music plus food equals double the love.”

DJ Yoda added: “I’ve always connected food and music as my two big passions — from naming albums like Breakfast of Champions and songs like Pizza and Breakfast Cereal, to involving myself with scientific experiments involving food and music, and even setting up a restaurant — I just love getting to work in these two fields.”
