a meal for the Harvey Nichols staff

The day before the new Harvey Nichols store opened its doors to the public I documented the last meal for Canteen. Over a matter of days the building site underwent a huge transformation. Builders in hig-vis jackets suddenly vanished and a whole new team of staff arrived -part of the 4,000 people who are needed to run the shops and centre. As an acknowledgement to the new staff I wanted the last meal I had prepared to be for them.
Louise is the new head Chef for Harvey Nic's and as a practice before paying customers arrived she and her team cooked a meal for other shop employees which was served by the waiters who will staff the resturant. As well as contributing a final recipe for the publication, Louise will also write an afterword about the experience of opening a new resturant in the new Cabot Circus
