How to turn your home into a pop-up restaurant | Cat Dutton | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

What would it be like to open up your home and turn it into a restaurant? Cat Dutton can tell you, because that's exactly what she's done. Harnessing her life-long passion for home-cooked food, she gave up a public sector office job to create her home-based pop-up restaurant, and now hosts her popular dining experiences on a regular basis. Filmed at Cat's home in Leamington Spa during one of these events, this talk captures the art of opening up your home and welcoming strangers as paying dinner guests. Cat runs a home-based restaurant in Leamington Spa called Kitchenorium, which 'pops-up' several times each month to offer affordable and convivial social dining experiences. Each event has a set menu, ranging from tapas up to seven courses, based on cuisines from all around the world. Most of Cat’s career to date has been office-based in administration and finance, so throwing large dinner parties has always been something she did just for fun. Now, after close to nine years working in public sector finance, she’s turning her passion into her vocation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
