My other job as a kitchen elf

Oh my hat, I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already and I haven’t had a chance to tell you about my spectacular Saturday evening.

You may or may not know that one of my favourite Food People is Jane-Anne Hobbs. Whenever we are looking for a recipe idea to make a feast we inevitably find it on her blog or in her book she released earlier this year. She is very quick to point out that she is a cook, not a chef, and I think that is why the food she makes appeals to us so much. It’s not fancy, it’s REAL and whenever we make something of hers it is always a hit.

So, imagine my glee at being lucky enough to be her kitchen elf on Saturday night at the Spier Secret Festival dinner. Ticket holders could choose to have dinner cooked by a celebrity chef at different venues. Our venue was, well, interesting, to say the least. Lets just say we went with rustic in the end. I also got to meet some lovely people, amongst which were Pat from Yumsy and her son Jason. Here is the post Pat did on the dinner, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Thank you thank you Jane-Anne, I will quite happily be your kitchen elf any day!
