Hands On Sensuality

It’s been a long time coming but Hands On Sensuality is returning…

Hands On Sensuality explores the sensual potential of eating from our own hands - the warmth of skin, the texture of food, the weight of a morsel, the anticipation of touch. It asks what happens when we move beyond the plate and the conventional ways we eat, and allow the hand to become the central of the experience.

The hand becomes the vessel - cupping, plating, holding, tracing…

During this experience, each course has been designed to be served on a different part of the hand or wrist, transforming something familiar into something unexpected. Food is designed not simply to be tasted, but to be felt and held - inviting you to notice the sensations that happen before, during and after the moment of eating.

No cutlery! Each morsel nestles into the topography of the hand, turning the hand itself into part of the dining experience.

Hands On Sensuality was launched before lockdown but, when touch suddenly became something we had to avoid, intimacy and physical touch were no longer possible. Now, some years later, Hands On Sensuality is returning and I’m so excited to present it at GULP, the place where I have continue to develop my practice using food as a material for exploring memory, sensation, place and connection.

Hands on Sensuality is for curious diners, seeking a more experimental food experience.

This is an intimate and rather hands-on experience, so unfortunately we may not be able to accommodate all dietary requirements. If you have a dietary requirement or allergy, please drop us an email at kayewinwood@gmail.com before booking and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

£45 includes all food. Drinks are additional.

£45.00

Hands On Sensuality explores the sensual potential of dining from our own hands, and the sensory possibilities of eating beyond the plate.

The hand becomes a reimagined vessel for consumption, with each course served on a different part of the hand or wrist. Food is carefully designed to evoke different sensations — inviting you to notice texture, temperature, touch, anticipation and the intimate relationship between hand, food and mouth.

This is dining experienced through touch as much as taste: tactile, playful, intimate and a little unexpected.

One for curious appetites.

This is an intimate and rather hands-on experience, so unfortunately we may not be able to accommodate all dietary requirements. If you have a dietary requirement or allergy, please email kayewinwood@gmail.com before booking and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
