... crazy about food!

 

Chipping Show

I am doing cookery demo's
this Saturday, the 28th of August,
at Chipping Show.

I will be using produce from the Food Hall
to make some quick, and easy family recipes!

Do come and say, 'Hello'!

***

I had a great time at Blakey's, King George's Hall, Blackburn,
 helping promote the...
'Taste of Blackburn with Darwen Community Cook Book'
with cookery demonstrations
and tasters of delicious recipes from the book.
Copies available, next week, from BBC Radio Lancashire,
absolutely free!

Update re. Cookery School...
Following the recent serious illness of a family member,
I will be getting courses running again, as soon as possible.

Back to Basics
Sunday, the 10th of October...

I do have a couple of places available!

BBC Radio Lancashire

I had a fast and furious piece on
Gilly's afternoon programme,
from the Avant Garden Centre, recently.

The theme was...
 
The Mad Hatter's Tea Party!

Carole was the white rabbit...
food-wise, it was barbeques.

I was delighted to be invited to join Paul Heathcote,
and his Team, as he celebrated his
20th Anniversary at


The Longridge Restaurant...

My guest and I had the most wonderful night,
with superb food, and delightful wine choices, in an atmosphere of 'calm' and
with the most attentive, but unobtrusive of service,
with some lovely reminiscences from Paul throughout the evening.

You can read all about the
celebratory events in Lancashire Life, in October!

I was thrilled to be invited as one of the judges
for the final of the 'The Local Restaurant of the Year', on Gordon Ramsay's,

'The F Word'


Gordon in 'The F Word' kitchen!

You can read about my very eventful trip to London,
and hear why I ended up in the hotel corridor, wearing just a towel,
in the online edition of Lancashire Life!

I'm pleased to have been invited to compile
The St. Catherine's Hospice Charity Calendar, again,
giving out some of my favourite recipes for you to try at home.

I am looking forward to their Open Day, on Friday, the 10th of September.

I was delighted to be invited back to the
Lancashire Food Festival,
in April, I demonstrated some

"Fast and Furious Family Dishes"

and ran children's cookery workshops,
when not oggling 'King of the Jungle', Gino D'Acampo,
who was as delightful, as ever!

FF2009

 

{It is purely coincidental that, after his last day
with Philippa, Gino was seen heading towards camp, shouting,
"I'm a celebrity! Get me into there!"}
