London is fast gaining a reputation as the gourmet capital of the world, with chefs such as Gary Rhodes and Jean-Christophe Novelli garnering international acclaim. However, too often gastronomical means astronomical; the average Londoner may feel priced out of the revolution.

The Taste of London event, now in its second year, aims to rectify that, by making Michelin-starred cooking accessible to all. Forty top restaurants are offering their signature dishes at cut prices in one large space in Regent's Park.

Visitors can create their own bespoke menu - say, rarefied Indian hors d'oeuvres from The Cinnamon Club, a swish fish dish from Zilli, a classy French main from Le Gavroche and elegant sweetmeats from Sketch, all delicately washed down with fine wines.

There are also demonstrations from top chefs - tonight there's Antony Worrall Thompson and Roka's Rainer Becker - as well as a programme of live jazz, opera and comedy. In all, it's a relatively cheap way of cultivating expensive tastes.
