Curry for Change at Wigmore Street

There was spice in the air last week at our Wigmore Street showroom when charity Find Your Feet hosted their annual Curry for Change event.

Delicious canapes by Masterchef winning chef, Dhruv Baker, yummy deserts by supperclub cooks, and a brilliant cooking demonstration by Indian cook and teacher, Hari Ghotra who showed us how to make a delicious nut roast perfect for the run up to Christmas. 

 

It was a brilliant event and extremely inspiring to hear about how the work they have done in Asia and Africa has helped the lives of rural families who suffer from hunger. 

To find here  how you can help to raise money for this great cause by simply cooking a curry!

Godiva Challenge Finalist Event for Chocolate Week

Last night saw the final of the 2015 Godiva Chocolate Challenge held at our Wigmore Street showroom. 

Four talented young finalists toiled away on our Alno kitchen displays crafting their chocolate and meringue deserts  to present for judging by the impressive panel of William Sitwell, the MasterChef TV critic, Mark Hix, the leading UK chef, Gizzi Erskine, chef and food writer and head Godiva chocolatier Jean Apostolou. 

The judges were very impressed with the level of competition - and looking at the finished finalists' dishes we can see why. 

Reigning Chocolate Queen Heather Bennett was again victorious, winning the judges over with her raspberry and chocolate meringue yumminess. A well deserved winner - congratulations Heather! 

Heather's winning dessert - 'Come Fly With Me' will be featured on the menu of one of Mark Hix's restaurants for one week. 

 

In addition to seeing lots of lovely chocolate based deserts being made on our beautiful displays we also got the chance to try some of the delicious Godiva chocolates and see their iconic chocolate dipped strawberries being made. 

Go to www.Godiva.co.uk for more information about Chocolate Week, the Godiva Challenge and of course their delicious chocolates.
