On the evening of Friday 6 September, Lee Miller’s grand-daughter, Ami Bouhassane, Director of Farleys House and Gallery, will host a Surrealist Lee Miller Dinner in The Dining Room at The Star. The menu will consist of dishes taken from Ami’s book, ‘Lee Miller; A life with food, friends and recipes’, that includes her grandmother’s extraordinary recipes. The four course dinner will include dishes such as ‘Penroses’, Parsley Ice, Poulet Marengo, ‘Gold Fish’ and Lee’s Summer Pudding. Between courses, Ami will speak about the sometimes surprising origins of each dish, and recount anecdotes about her grandmother and her cooking.
On September 13, the new film Lee will be released in UK cinemas, a film about the extraordinary life of Lee Miller, model, photographer, artist, and gourmet cook, starring Kate Winslet in the title role. In celebration of this, and the proximity of The Star to Farleys House, where Lee Miller and her surrealist husband lived out their lives, The Star in Alfriston is hosting a special Lee Miller Surrealist Dinner.
£125 for four courses including an aperitif and two glasses of wine.
