I can't believe that my last post was over a year ago! So much has happened:
Due to the success of our face to face seminars "Catering for a gluten free diet", Mr D and I have spent an inordinate amount of time developing an on line webinar to deliver the seminars across the globe - well the UK at the moment anyway! - via Cisco's Webex. The fully interactive seminars teach caterers and those in the food service industry how to cater safely for a gluten free diner. They cover all aspects of catering including procurement, contamination, menu design and front of house management. www.glutenfreetraining.co.uk
Whilst doing that we're still cooking our socks off! We have secured many new clients - mainly a range of exclusive, five star plus and luxury boutique style hotels. We decided to focus on that market a while ago and so far we have been very successful in securing new business.
The Red Carnation Group of Hotels has come aboard with vigour and we now supply some of the London hotels and The Summer Lodge Country House in Dorset, with a varied range of products that are used for afternoon teas, breakfasts and banqueting.
We still maintain our 'buy local and focus on seasonal food' as much as we can. In fact we have just released our Spring range, which entails lamb 'samosas', vegetable 'samosas', rhubarb & ginger muffins, watercress soup and a flatbread made with spring onion, lime and coconut.
Most importantly of all of course is that we're still doing our 'around the world food tour' with our friends. In fact we are going for a 'T' dinner tonight! We have been to Afghanistan, Barbados, Chile, Denmark, England, France, Greece, Hawaii, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Lesotho, Malta, Nepal, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Quebec (artistic license as we had been to Oman!), Russia, Spain and now........pics and blurb to follow!
