Be very afraid

My friend Mecca at Moo.com has helped organise a cooking event for bloggers including myself tomorrow. In reality the event is being run by a feline overlord called Bolli from a Bond villain’s bunker disguised as an everyday home in Surrey.  More details here, there will also be details on how the general public can get involved to help Action Against Hunger. The website describes it really well so I will steal some of their copy:

Food 2.0 Nom Nom Nom is a fun project that brings food bloggers, TrustedPlaces.com members, food photographers, food journalists, food authors, everyday regular cooks, influential bloggers & senior members of leading UK based internet companies together for a meet up. See it as a Cook-a-thon for bloggers or like an interactive version of MasterChef.

Up to 24 participants will be grouped in teams of 2 to compete in creating the best 3 course meal as judged by a panel of expert judges AND the general public online. At Cookery School – a state of the art professional kitchen & cookery school, participants will cook a three course meal for four – made up from their “signature” or favourite dishes, which they have decided in advance.

Completed meals will be tasted by the panel of expert judges – all participants will sit down & have an early dinner with the food. We’ll have after dinner speeches, a raffle and even an after dinner drinks party for those who want to continue socialising and for extra guests.

My Mum is exceeding happy as I am involved in an event that has brands she’s actually heard of (Kitchen Aid, Magimix etc), however she also knows about my cooking skills and is considering contacting Special Branch. This is going to be quite an adventure, I will be blogging about the whole experience and expect pictures as well.

I can only imagine that you will simply recreate Big Macs and Boost bars. I don’t know why you bother. And, along with your mum, for the first time I recognise some of the brands in your blog. Don’t know who does the PR for the others…
