Press Lunch with Alaska Seafood at Nobu

Most of the time my job is pretty ordinary – fun but ordinary. Usually I am desk bound with a very long to do list, the occasional phone call and multiple emails.

Last week, however,
I had a real treat!

Alaska Seafood invited me to Nobu in Mayfair for an amazing lunch and a chance to find out more about their products and their ethics. The food was almost indescribable. The fish was melt in the mouth, with delicate but astonishing flavours. The only thing that let it down was my ability to use chopsticks! We enjoyed five beautiful fish courses with a fantastic apple sorbet and white choc parfait to finish. Divine.

There was a couple of celeb spots, a good natter with food bloggers and journalists and a sample of the lovely soap on the loos!

All in all, a good day out of the office. I even came away with a fabulous Alaska Salmon cookbook.

You can see a few of their delicious recipes in the 2014 Dairy Diary and you can also visit www.alaskaseafood.org.uk.

Happy Days in Dairy Diary Land

A sneak preview of the 2014 Dairy Diary

Happy Days in Dairy Diary Land

It’s my favourite time of the year in the office. The phones are quiet and I can plug my headphones in, listen to my favourite music and be inspired.

I’ve been busy planning the 2015 Dairy Diary: writing briefs for the team, researching pretty pictures, choosing recipes, creating the flatplan for the book and generally enjoying my job!

All our recipes are triple-tested and
so I get to sample lots of them.

I am particularly looking forward to testing Bruschetta with Gorgonzola & Figs and Tomato & Artichoke Tart. Yum.

Woohoo, first samples of the 2014 Dairy Diary have just arrived.

It looks fab! I am so so pleased. I can’t wait to share some pics and recipes with you all (sneaky peak coming up). I am sure you will love it too.

This week is cookbook development week. I am literally at square one and so I need lots of thinking time to consider how it will look and how it will develop. Luckily I have a train journey to London on Wednesday for a press lunch at Nobo (woooo, posh eh?) thanks to Alaska Seafood, and so I will have lots of time to ponder the cookbook.

So, a fun month in the Dairy Diary office!

Suasage and Cider CasseroleAs a special treat, I’ll share one
