If you read last week's blog, you'll know that when it comes to the fight to better the world with great organic cuisine, there's never a dull day! (If you didn't read the blog then it's not too late to, and it contains all kinds of info about the work we've been doing alongside the RSPCA, as well as a firm called DTV). This week we're just as rushed off our feet, but in that good knackered-but-satisfied way which always puts a smile on our faces.
Today is Tuesday, and as you read this we're bang-smack in the middle of catering for Asdan (Old Street CAN) – a not-for-profit organisation who run a series of courses on a vast range of subjects. Finding somewhere to park in London is never easy, but getting out early helps, and it's always worth it for good clients like Asdan. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we'll be helping out at Loman Street CAN. Lovely people, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere amidst the craziness of trying to do our best to make only premium food. Just the way we like it!
Actually, before we go any further, let's not just single Asdan out: Eco Cuisine is very fortunate to have only lovely clients, and they make it all worthwhile.
Now, back to what's been happening over this Bank Holiday weekend, and you can be sure it doesn't involve relaxation! What it did involve, however, was us working hard at the School of Economic Science. The only downside of catering here was that – as with all our jobs right now – we were only able to use Spanish asparagus; we like to use UK asparagus wherever possible, but the recent rain has made that impossible for everyone in the industry! Funny, when you consider we're at the tail end of a drought that should have made asparagus plentiful (note: actually it isn't very funny at all!).
Now we move onto what else is happening tomorrow: when 5pm comes we'll be serving-up sandwich platters to the London Wildlife Trust. This is much better than what has been going on with Sonya's van! In the words of Sonya herself, a woman never to sit back and watch criminals get away with things, several weeks ago, in a scene reminiscent of Cagney and Lacey, “I found myself gazing out of the window in the living room and saying 'that looks a lot like my van driving away...'. Well, you guessed it, it WAS my van driving away.”
Fortunately, Sonya and her friend – now in Mario’s car – managed to keep close to the van and, being all daring as we all know caterers secretly are, confronted the criminals there and then at some traffic lights! They got the van back in the end, but not without it being damaged; the Police are apparently chasing it all up, so hopefully we'll soon be able to fill you in on the conclusion of Sonya's crime-fighting capers! And you probably thought Eco Cuisine only did great organic food...
