VIRGILIO MARTINEZ AND JOSEAN ALIJA TEAM UP IN LONDON

Following the Guggenheim's 20th Anniversary celebrations with "Creativity in Gastronomy," Virgilio Martinez will head to London to join forces with his old friend Josean Alija on Sunday 24 September.

The famed Peruvian chef from Latin America's best restaurant, Central, will take up the reins at his Lima Floral restaurant in Covent Garden along with Josean from Michelin-starred NERUA Guggenheim Bilbao, for a special one-day collaboration.

Conjuring up a seven-course tasting menu between them, part Basque and part Peruvian, this promises to be one interesting fusion for some lucky diners. Here's the menu:
