If you read last weeks menu/blog you may know that I was asked to speak at the highly reputable Tamper tantrum event which took place at the Birmingham Millennium Point as part of the UKBC Super heats being held this week.
The first thing I must say is absolute full credit to Steve Leighton from Hasbean and all his team for being able to organise such an event in such a short space of time. Talk about pressure.
I was asked to with five others on the day and I was on last. What they did not tell me until we arrived was that the speech was to take place in the IMAX theatre. So into a darkened room, with about 40 people, me, on stage in front of the IMAX screen. To Give you an idea, here is a photo I took of James Hoffman speaking. It was taken from the 3rd row in.
The speeches, (which were all very very good) will be available on iTunes soon under the tamper tantrum podcast.
I think I did okay. I tried to put across the point that we may be in the coffee industry, but we are a,so in the Hospitality industry and how important that is, but also that if you own a business, how important that is too. I know I messed up a little bit at one stage, but standing in front of a giant screen like that was definitely one of the strangest things I have had to do.
What was great, was that we were able to premiere the new Kaffeine movie. My very good friend Kess Bohan who also did the original Kaffeine movie has been kind enough to offer his services to do another one. It will also be available soon on our website.
And so to Valentines day. Chef Jared has created his own love heart sponges with raspberry cream and mahonia blossom. If you are wanting to impress someone this week, we would suggest getting one of these sweet things for them, it would be a very good start indeed.
Please enjoy this weeks menu, as we will enjoy bringing it to you.
