Having had someone cancel a SOSA Demonstration I gave Delifresh the Challenge of Hosting a SOSA Demonstration with only Three weeks notice…
These guys are defiantly on the ball and would recommend anyone to use them.
- Excellent Venue :- Dean Clough Cookery School, Halifax .
- Some lovely fresh produce to work with from Delifresh .
- Good Turnout :- A Big thank you to all the Chefs that came.
- Lunch for everyone in the Design house restaurant after.
The Demonstration was based around a small selection of SOSA Basic Key ingredients.
Here are a selection of Photographs & some of the recipes from the Day (I will be adding a Video to this post ASAP).
