Eating seasonally at regather #2

A few pics from the eating seasonally dinner at regather. This one was the largest I've catered for yet with 26 guests! The menu focussed on local and seasonal vegetables. I collaborated with farms and organic vegetable suppliers for a delicious summer menu. I also had access to a beautiful sorbet and ice cream machine so produced four fruit sorbets to cleanse the guests palette between their four courses. One of the guests even brought some dried crispy insects in as an extra experience, I tried a cricket, tasted of crisp.
I had a lovely bunch of people helping me and the guests made really heart-warming comments. Keep checking back for details of the next event.

Also a short film was made about the event here

Regather vegetarian supper 31st July

Hi everyone, due to the success of the previous event with Regather, we have a next one planned for July 31st!

A great opportunity to meet fellow foodies, vegetable growers and local food enthusiasts.

This event features a 10 minute presentation from the man behind the walled garden at Wortley Hall, a goody bag filled with season produce & recipes and because we're having a beautifully hot summer I'll be preparing a range of homemade sorbets in between each course.
