Alan in Wonderland

Having been hijacked on Monday night and whipped up into a social media frenzy we thought we would treat you all to what the kitchen does best......cooking creatively!

And what is more creative than a Mad Hatter's Tea Party

A menu full of unexpected surprises like our bacon jam and montgomery cheddar jammy dodgers and create's now infamous edible frogs filled with passion fruit frogspawn were all joined alongside  "drink me" little bottles of mock turtle soup and Mad Hatter sandwich cylinders of mustard bread with ham and piccalilli butter, earl grey tea smoked salmon with thyme creme fraiche and beetroot bread with sweet pickled cucumber and curd cheese.


Sadly for the sales team who love a chocolate frog possibly more than they love cupcake Friday's, everything was devoured bar the crusts from the bread, no wonder they all have such straight hair, clearly no one told them crusts make your hair curl!

P.s. 'Alan' is our Executive Head Chef and you can follow him on twitter @AlanCreatefood to see what he gets up to.

Look what we found……

We always get excited when we find a new supplier whether it be for canapé kit, tableware or food.

Here are a few of our kitchen and design team favourites which are exploring the create 2012 trend of “literal British food”.

My new best friends

THE AMAZING CANON AND CANON

Specialists in the most delicious selection of British chorizo’s, parma hams and even air dried alpaca sourced from all over the UK, go and visit their stall at Borough Market. The spicy beer sticks are well worth the queue.

TREGOTHAN TEA

The only producers of tea grown in deepest rural Cornwall ………winner.
 
Who needs friends when you have these?

Just when we thought we had seen it all the brilliant ASA have come up with these...
Yes they are exactly what you think they are…… glow in the dark pepper grinders.




Might not have any friends left, I spend so much time on these websites…..

 Once translated into English this website has become our go too page to cure our obsessions for all things that verge on the impossible, candyfloss pasties being one of them and anything miniature and made out of plastic, we love that it is almost unbreakable, even the most heavy handed chef can’t break it.


Beautiful ingredients especially the Himalayan salt plates


Full of some very cool kit, currently obsessing over mini sardine tins, mini pint glasses for our “pint of prawns canapĂ©”  and plastic egg shells for our “ham and brioche soldiers with hollandaise dip”
