Hello and welcome back

As a regular reader to my blog you'll know I take my own photos for my blog.

This week though I began to work as a professional food stylist.I was really excited to be part of something for someone else that I enjoy doing.

This article about coffee from

Tiramisu is the food gods made.

Venice is where I had the most amazing tiramisu 

I will never forget how it tasted looked and smelt.

It brought me to tears.

Not unlike this tiramisu tart I ate recently in San Sebastian

What is not to love about Henry Yeast.

I can not help but indulge the pate is the best I ate in Hull.

Sunday roasts are quite the dish and yes I cook but I also dine.

The suggestion of eating out on a Sunday is blissful.

We booked but arrived early they was not busy which was actually shocking happily that did not last long though.

Great beers and wines flowing pate and then the main.

Delicately flavoured lamb with two perfectly crisp Yorkshire puddings which in my eyes is the king of the Sunday roast plate.

Roast potatoes with fluffy inside salted and herbed. I must admit I could eat a plate of them with gravy on their own.

Henry Yeast is firm fave for this 

"HullGirl"

You'll find me sat wondering what to eat along with a whole room of others doing the same.

Go indulge feel no guilt at all!

Then I was suggested to look at this website

CHAMBERS OF FLAVOUR TICKET RELEASE:
INTREPID ADVENTURERS TAKE THE CHANCE TO VENTURE INTO DIVINE DINING DIMENSIONS

EMBARGO: Monday 19th October 00:01am

Tickets sold out until February 2016

The ticket booth re-opens Monday 19th October - noon

Since 22^nd September, thousands of intrepid explorers have galloped their way through gateways of inter-dimensional gastronomy; launched from a machine in a secret location in East London, these brave adventurers have experienced out of this world performances, mouthwatering cuisine and were only able to depart once they’d been sworn to total secrecy.

Sold out until mid-January 2016 after two rounds of ticket releases were booked up in moments; the Chambers of Flavour is proving to be London’s most popular immersive adventure. For those who missed out, fear not as the mighty dream generating machine has found new tickets and is set to release these imminently.

Intrepid explorers wishing to experience the unknown should be ready at 12pm midday today (Monday 19^th October) when the ticket booth will re-open for dates in January and February 2016 via www.chambersofflavour.co.uk

Presented by immersive dining pioneers, Gingerline, the Chambers of Flavour invites the most curious of curious guests to enter The Machine… Designed in 1882 by the world’s first inter-dimensional flavourologist, Sir Lionel Stirling Grey, intrepid adventurers are given safe passage, and unprecedented access, through the portals of the peculiar; while experiencing a sequence of mind-blowing culinary delights from a specially created avant-garde menu.
Multi-dimensional exploration is not something to be taken lightly however; with many a factitious foe plotting The Machine’s demise. As such, the menu, the discovered realities, location and experience will remain a closely guarded secret; only to be discovered by the valiant few who venture inside and join the ranks of the elusive Chambers Alumni – swearing an oath to protect it and all who applaud its clandestine existence.

Only the brave…

NOTES

The Chambers of Flavour is a new multi-dimensional dining experience presented by immersive dining pioneers, Gingerline.
Until recently, galloping through the gateways of inter-dimensional gastronomy was a notoriously rickety ride. The art of inter-dimensional exploration was simply not a stable soirée… that was until we discovered the elegant engineering of our magnificent Machine; a very special contraption of spectacular proportion and one that opened unprecedented access in to realms of uncertainty.
Based in a secret location in East London, every few months The Machine
re-configures; creating a sequence of new inter-dimensional realities for intrepid travellers to explore.
Here's how it works:
When guests book they choose a specific dining date and time. On the day of their booking they will be texted at 4.30pm with details of where to find the secret location*. Guests should arrive in plenty of time to drink and frolic in the holding chamber where, unlike previous events, they can take as many photos as they like. Then at their selected dining slot, with phones / cameras safely tucked safely away, they will be whisked off on a multi-dimensional dining adventure through the Chambers of Flavour. All adventurers will become an Alumni of the Chambers, with a promise to keep what they witness and where they witnessed it, a strictly guarded secret.
Tickets are priced £50 - £65 (plus booking fee) and are available, along with full dates and times, at www.chambersofflavour.co.uk

I really love re-loving things that either I have or have found to re-love.

When I moved into my last place I had found a very old set of well used Cath Kidston bedding.

I did not think to keep the duvet set but I did keep the pillow cases.

They was past their best but I could not throw them away.

So I sent the Sassy Stitcher the pillow cases and asked her to make my bunting.

My beautifully blue 

Spode crockery given as a gift last year finally saw the light of day.

The oh so lovely 

English Muse inspired me to make my very own porridge.

Fresh fig porridge no less.

I dream of good scrambled eggs don't you?

As a foodista it can be a great feeling cracking and mastering a true food delight.

With Rodda's Cornish clotted cream

chives and a mature cheddar.
