Speakers

Julian founded The Future Plate in 2021. It’s a culinary village bringing together leading Black chefs of our time, culture carriers & makers of change. They are inspired by and draw from our culinary ancestors, paying homage to the traditional dishes but cooking and presenting them with the culinary verve we are fast becoming known for. The Future Plate caters & curates events for the world’s most famous brands, private individuals and corporates, creating memorable experiences with the sole purpose of sharing culture through food. Other services include consultancy, brand activations, menu development, brand partnerships & a management division which exists to amplify the visibility and work of trailblazing Black chefs who are overlooked. Beyond their commercial endeavours they are building a creative hub for the exploration and development of African & Caribbean dishes, developing a scholarship for Black chefs, launching a conference and working closely with Made By Humans to unearth food stories and tell them before they loose them through film, books, exhibitions and podcasts.
