We have been fortunate to be able to bring together two very eminent women who as good friends will share the platform and provide you with an educational and entertaining evening on how to feed your mind, body and soul.
Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE is a scientist, writer, broadcaster and member of the House of Lords. If you are interested in how the challenges of modern life are affecting our brains and the development of our children’s brains then this is an opportunity to hear about it from one of the worlds’ leading and often quoted experts.

She has been awarded 30 Honorary Degrees from British and foreign universities and heads a multi-disciplinary research group exploring novel brain mechanisms linked to neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Susan has also published her own theory of consciousness Journey to the Centres of the Mind: Towards a Science of Consciousness (1995), which was developed substantially in The Private Life of the Brain (2000). Her book The Human Brain: A Guided Tour (1997) ranked in the best-seller lists for both hard and paperback. Meanwhile her Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century technology is changing the way we think and feel (2003), explores human nature and its potential vulnerability in an age of technology. In addition, she has developed an interest in the impact of 21st Century technologies on how young people think and feel, as discussed in her book ID: The Quest for Identity in the 21st Century (2008).
Pinky Lilani OBE has put themission of people development at the heart of her professional life. She combines her love of people with her love of food. Some of you may have seen Pinky cook before. I never thought I liked Indian food until I tasted Pinky’s cooking. It certainly isn’t like going to a local Indian restaurant and gives you the opportunity to taste and learn to cook authentic Indian home cooking prepared from the freshest spices and ingredients.
Pinky has written several books, has been on cookery television, advises manufacturers on Indian food development and is Chairman of the Asian Women Of Achievement Awards, Women Of The Future Awards, The Global Empowerment Award, The Inspirational Educationist Award, The Women Of The Future Economic Empowerment Summit, The Ambassadors Programme And The Inspirational Women’s Network.
She is also at the forefront of interfaith understanding among women being the Co founder of the Women’s Interfaith Network. She is a mentor with the Princes Youth Business Trust (PYBT) Trust, is a member of the Court of Brunel University, on the steering group of the Cherie Blair foundation and on the Advisory board of Sapphire. Pinky's specialist subjects include food, success, communication, motivation and inspiration.
We are going to be serving welcome drinks and snacks followed by an Indian buffet supper. The first part of the evening will be a presentation by Susan who will discuss food for thought and harnessing technology in our high speed world. She promises to challenge our preconceptions and offer us value information on how to look after our own and our children’s well being in a way that we will all understand.
After that Pinky will be talking about her own work and how the power of positive thinking has framed her own amazing success story. She will demonstrate her Spice Magic and some dishes from the buffet.
There will be the opportunity to ask questions and meet both of these extraordinary women.
