The Food Issue

 
I have been asked to lead workshops at the Caffe Culture Show - Olympia 18th & 19th May, noon to 1.30pm - on 'The Food Issue':

"How we can produce distinctive food in a small space with minimal equipment??  A workshop where we learn from the participants led by an expert café consultant, Chris Brown of Turpin Smale Catering Consultancy.

Bakery cafes are the rage throughout Europe and innovative, distinctive food is a must.  Easily prepared and fresh is the mantra..

Obesity is a real challenge – how can we sell something that few of us should be eating?  The challenge of calorie count menus and pro-points.

The big chains have specialist food development teams and huge purchasing power – how the independent can compete, flourish and win out."

The sessions cost £50 and bookings are via the organisers at http://www.caffeculture.com/Content/Workshops/40/
