We would like to say a huge thanks to the guys at Thermomix and to the celebrity chefs led by James Knight-Pacheco for a wonderful meal and entertainment last night.
James designed and served up a wonderful 8 course meal, assisted by Celebrity Masterchef winner Lisa Faulkner and 2010 Masterchef winner Dhruv Baker.
They were lovely people and we hope we can all meet and speak about future collaborations again soon.
P.S Good luck with your new venture James
We have just returned from lunch at Le Manoir with our kids. We were there for 4 hours enjoying the food, sunshine in the garden, a game of croquet and a tour of the kitchen and cookery school.
We had a lovely day and have added a review to our site.

Thanks to all those that came along to our very first Italian Food & Wine evening yesterday. We had a great time and we hope you enjoyed the tasty food and sampling all the wines.
We have some more date planned soon so watch out for more details soon.
Here at Pudding Pie we don’t have a lot of kitchen gadgets, as we believe it’s better to learn with equipment you will find in your own home. However, after visiting Alain & Michel Roux Jr in the kitchen at the Waterside Inn recently, we were so impressed by one piece of kit, we just had to have one.
A Thermomix TM31, it’s like a food processor on steroids! It grinds, whisks, weighs, cooks, steams, blends, crushes, kneads, grates we could go on and on.
What a piece of equipment, we wont be using it for everyday classes, but for our catering jobs, it will be invaluable.

Fancy trying some delicious Italian Food & Wine?
Then why not join us on the 15th April at 7pm for a fun evening. In association with Brackley Wines, tickets are £25pp and places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
We are due to close down events in our kitchen on Monday for 5 days, so that we can fit some new range ovens and also make a few changes in our stores.
All other services will continue as normal and we hope to be fully operational again in our kitchen by the 25th March.
Pudding Pie Cookery School, continually improving.
What a weekend we have had! Besides a group of children going competly silent when I joked at a party that I was 21 (if only they knew how old I really was)….. We spent the weekend in the company of Michel Roux Jnr & Alain Roux at the 3 Michelin Stared Waterside Inn in Bray as they filmed for a new TV series.
We had a tour of their new £2m kitchen, a fantastic room with balcony overlooking the Thames and to top it all we were treated to loads of books and their taster menu, which included some of the best food ever.
How can we beat that, well we told Michel Roux that we would come and sample his 3 Michelin Star menu at Le Gavroche in London, so we better do it!
Still on a high, but back to work.
Next week See’s us cooking at Swindon College. As part of a demonstration with the Co-Op we will be showing the students how easy it is to cook healthy food on a budget.
