MY DAY WITH A CELEBRITY CHEF

In Dec 2006 I won an Ocean Spray Masterclass with Simon Rimmer.

I was the lucky winner from the Country Kitchen Magazine, me and my friend Beryl were offered the chance to brush up our cookery skills for Christmas with celebrity chef Simon Rimmer’s Ocean Spray Masterclass at the Art of Hospitality, St James School. London. I already use cranberries in recipes for my breakfasts, which is why I tried the competition. EXAMPLE: -. Cranberry, nut & seed granola. Pink grapefruit & cranberry marmalade

1. We were shown a film: -
2.  About the harvesting of cranberries in North America.
3.  Cranberries may also have a number of health benefits.
4. Urinary tract.
5. Lungs and respiratory
6. Dental
7. Stomach
8. Heart
9. Cancer

Just two 250ml glasses a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, from any of the Ocean Spray grower’s Select range, will offer 24 hour protection from certain harmful bacteria.

The Cranberry inspired recipes we cooked with Simon -
Cranberry cheesecake.
Duck with Honeyed Cranberry sauce and Sesame potatoes.
Mushroom and Cranberry parcels.
Sage and Mozzarella cakes with Spicy cranberry dressing.

We came home with a goody bag of cranberry products.

It was an experience I shall never forget.
