Caban Summer Season of Films draws to a close.
The final film of Caban's 'Summer Season' of films for Occasional Cinema before their Autumn series starts in September. Thanks again to all of you who attended last months showing of 'A Grocer's Son'(at 60 people and 50 people dining, a record for the summer showings). This months film is 'A Touch of Spice', which narrowly won the vote over 'Bon Voyage'in the straw poll last month. As I now have the dvd, perhaps it will be included in the new season of films at Caban or Blue Sky.

'A Touch of Spice' Wednesday 10 August 7.30 Director: Tassos Boulmetis Country: Greece, Year: 2003 Duration: 104 minutes
"A Touch of Spice" is a story about a young Greek boy (Fanis) growing up in Istanbul, whose grandfather, a culinary philosopher and mentor,teaches him that both food and life require a little salt to give them flavor; they both require... A Touch of Spice. Fanis grows up to become an excellent cook and uses his cooking skills to spice up the lives of those around him. 35 years later he leaves Athens and travels back to his birthplace of Istanbul to reunite with his grandfather and his first love; he travels back only to realize that he forgot to put a little bit of spice in his own life.
A bitter sweet journey of the senses, set against the historical backdrop of the deportation of thousands of Greeks from Istanbul, this is one of the biggest Greek films of all time
Menu Meatballs filled with spices & nuts, served in a spice infused tomato sauce and rice OR veggie option: Aubergine stuffed with rice and mixed vegatables and a selection of spices served in a spice infused tomato sauce Caban's home made Turkish Delight Tart served with vanilla ice-cream
