Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
I’m overjoyed at how well our Twitter party went yesterday morning between 10.30 – 11.30 am. It was brilliant! At some point during the party, Josh Robson spotted that we were trending and we were trending in the top three UK list for the rest of the party! I have to thank Pippa @RedRoseMummy who came up with our #hashtag #HealthySnackChat.
From April throughout to September delicious varieties of South African fruit are widely available in UK supermarkets. They are affordable, produced in a sustainable manner and fairly traded. Did you know? Approximately 99% of South African fruit is shipped, not flown. The lovely people from South African Fruit has kindly given us a variety of fruits to taste. They are: Comice pears, Red Williams pears, Royal Gala apples, Songold plums and Angeleno plums.
Yesterday evening Mumsnet and their special guest, Helen McGinn, blogger and author of The Knackered Mother’s Wine Club, lead us through a wine-tasting. I was fortunate to win a bottle of Tesco Finest New Zealand Pinot Noir 2011 to join the very first Mumsnet Twitter Party, which was all about wine and wine-tasting.
Today, I received my parcel for Philips Fresh Cooks Party organised by Come Round. Among the many goodies in the party pack is a Waitrose voucher so I can stock up on ingredients and prepare something at my party from the Jamie Oliver recipe book (supplied with the Philips HomeCooker).
