Dinner Party Photos Added

The noise of cutlery on plates, the excited hum of conversation and the satisfying, "mmmmmmmm" of people enjoying my food - it was worth all the effort to hear those restaurant sounds last Sunday night at our Raw Dinner Party.

For those of you that I’ve met or are regular readers to this blog, you may know that my ultimate goal is open a raw restaurant and last Sunday I got a glimpse of my dream. I also got an idea of how much work is involved, but the good news is that it hasn’t put me off! :-) I was so blown away by the comments and compliments I received that night, I really would like to thank everyone for being there and also for your positive feedback. A few people mentioned that they would have like to spoken to me about the food and what I am up to so I will endeavor to make that happen next month. Actually it was my intention to come and chat to you all but being the first event, I was a little bit busy! Here’s a selection of the feedback we had…

"Absolutely amazing, excellent flavours and display."

"Food was obviously prepared with lots of care, attention and skill."

"Wonderful! Amazing food! The linguine was inspired!"

"Relaxed atmosphere, no need to rush, great hosts, beautiful food."

"Intimate, relaxed and a good size for creating a good atmosphere. I like that you’re seated next to new people - good for meeting new friends."

"It was delicious - really inspiring - I’d like to bring my Mum!"

"A good and low key opportunity to gain confidence and information around and about raw food."

"I really enjoyed the menu, it was a wonderful combination of textures and flavours."

"Wonderful flavours, presentation and ingredients."

"Amazing taste of all dishes - exceeded my expectations - so much to stimulate my increasingly sensitive palate."

"Very impressed - well done for all the hard work put into it ."

"I am so happy about this new initiative as I don’t get to eat raw food out as often as I would like so thanks for being the first to make this happen."

Looks like we’re going to be turning people away from the next one as when people were leaving they told me they would be bringing a friend in May!
