Can restaurant critics cook? Join me to find out…

You should come. It’s a good crowd: Coren will be there, as will Tom Parker Bowles, Masterchef’s Leyla Kazim, the Independent’s Hannah Twiggs and Kate Krader of Bloomberg. I will be too, and hosting is Joe Warwick, author of the bestselling Where Chefs Eat. Trouble is, I’m nervous, and not just because Warwick is apt to take any opportunity to rinse me. No, I’m all for a good cause — and last year we raised £121,000 — but this time around, the night is looking decidedly like the source of some serious embarrassment.
