Amy Fernando is the founder of Taste Film, a cinematic dining experience born from a simple idea: what if food could bring us closer to the characters and stories we love on screen? A former Film Studies teacher with a deep appreciation for storytelling, Amy had the idea during the iconic prison cooking scene in Goodfellas. That moment sparked the first ever Taste Film event—an intimate screening in a family-run Italian restaurant in North West London, where guests shared more than just pasta. They shared an experience that felt new, and full of promise. It was a small start, driven by big ambition. That belief—that food can carry the emotional weight of a story—is at the heart of everything Taste Film does. What began as a one-off event quickly gained momentum, resonating with a growing community of film and food lovers. Amy’s mix of film and food love and inventive spirit is what makes Taste Film the game-changer it is today.
