Helen's Awesome Night with Des @ Clooney

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:05:17 GMT

OMG!

Friday night was absolutely sensational!

I loved every minute of it and can’t speak highly enough of the team at Clooneys!

Des was amazing – so lovely, so patient, and incredibly interested and talented. The team are simply a bunch of amazing ‘Artists’!

I got to cut, chop, peel – the 2 punnets of gooseberries to peel really tested my dexterity, patience, fine motor skills not to mention hand eye co-ordination!

I made dough, did some entrees with Des (that was special) and got to taste many amazing bits!

What's really going on with our meat? Guest blog by Niki Bezzant

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 12:40:18 GMT

Sometimes stories about food pop up in the media, create a flurry of comment and indignation, and then disappear, leaving in their wake the germ of a myth. This is what seemed to me to happen with a recent story about the 'gassing' of meat.
