What a review!

What a fabulous review in the Western Morning News - we had a full page spread of lovely comments and scores of 10 out of 10 in every category! We've had many new customers this week, on the strength of the review. One couple came down from Launceston for lunch and another couple drove 120 miles - wow!

We had a visit from GB Boardriders Shifting Horizons Transition Programme last week - they're working with young people and introducing them to a variey of different work environments. We spent a very interesting couple of hours answering questions about Peppercorn Kitchen, how it all started, our vision for the future, how we find and enrol our wonderful staff etc.
They also offered some really helpful comments regarding our blog and website. For instance - we have never mentioned that we recycle our plastics, glass and cardboard; our waste vegetable peelings and any stale bread goes to a local pig farm and our take away containers are all bio-degradable and some are made from recycled materials. We have also now joined Facebook and Twitter - thanks to you guys!

We received a wonderful gift from the heavenly Di Cox - Hooker Supreme - here it is - the Peppercorn Girls wall hanging- decide for yourselves who is who!!

So this week our Moroccan Briks have been really popular. They take an age to prepare, but Amy is meticulous and they look beautifully symmetrical when she makes them. We have tried Spinach and Feta Briks, Chocolate Ganache and Banana Briks (obviously a pudding dish!) and today we made Lamb Kofte and mashed potato Briks. The Venison Casserole with creamy mash is a more rib-sticking option for those needing a more substantial lunch - possibly followed by Star Anise Rice Pudding?

Lisa has perfected the art of piping meringue for the Pavlova bases. Mine were an extraordinary shape when I tried them - a bit like an upside down thimble! I shall have to get some practise in, I think!

We're off for a press release photo shoot tomorrow - with Ben from Ben's Cornish Kitchen in Marazion. I had what was definitely the most delicious meal of my life so far - at Ben's last Saturday evening.

 If you haven't been there yet - BOOK A TABLE!!
