Gorgeous September

What a stunning week of sunshine we've had - truly champagne days.

 Trade is still pretty darned good - the garden is full every day and we are blessed with people who really seem to love the food we offer, rather then asking us for something which isn't on our menu!

We've had a busy time of it this week - catering for teachers in Nancledra on Monday, catering for more teachers in Ladock on Thursday and Friday and a beautiful wedding feast tomorrow for 36 guests. The food for the wedding has been an absolute joy to plan and prepare because the bride and groom want Middle Eastern food - hummus, mackerel pate (OK- bit of a local twist, that one!)lamb kofte with a pistachio and tahini sauce, roasted aubergine salad with feta and a fresh herb and olive oil dressing, sweet labneh with rose petals and cardamom, rich yoghourt with dried fruits and honey - it will be beautiful to the eye and in the mouth! We'll post some pictures of the dishes so that you can salivate! We also wish Gail and Chris every happiness for their wedding and their future  life together.
We'll be losing some of our staff soon as they go off to university and start a new year of exciting developments in their lives. We shall hear all about their adventures when we see them again at Christmas - and then we shall tell them all about OUR adventures at Peppercorn - we have quite a few exciting things planned ourselves which we shall be revealing in the fullness of time.......!
