Of course, the olympics is not just in London, some events are held outside London so keep that in mind!…

I’m excited to tell you that I’m now the official ambassador for the Maille Supper Club campaign. The maker of my favourite French Dijon mustard, Maille shares my passion for great food and inspired cooking. For the next few months I’m going to be helping them out to encourage Brits to get more involved with the Supper Club movement and perhaps even have a go at hosting one. 

As their ambassador, I will be holding a special Maille Bastille Day…

I mentioned our group on Woman's Hour. This brought in hundreds of new members.

Visit London blog has also mentioned this group...for Olympic dates which I'm sure you will all be thinking about for next year. A fantastic opportunity to show off the best of British home cooking to visitors, welcome them into our homes, make new friends and hopefully some profit!…

Phew managed to wedge that in plus mention my book. Well done that woman! Paul Ross was interviewing me just after he interviewed Lee and Duncan from Blue.

THE RISE AND RISE OF SUPPER CLUBS

Underground supper clubs – restaurants usually run by amateur chefs out of their own homes – bred like fruit flies in London last year. This year, we'll see them spreading further throughout Europe. And, as new venues open, the established supper clubs are evolving and innovating too.…

will be on May 6th.

Any supper club hosts want to do a stall or a demo please get in touch. We will have a stall audition day on April 10th, more details to be announced.

There will also be a 'dragon's den' for food businesses...come and tout your business start up idea, your product. 

I will also be signing and selling copies of my book Supper Club: recipes and notes from The Underground Restaurant. Tickets available here: …

This site has been going in one form or another for two years. Since the beginning I've not only promoted my supper club but the entire 'sector'. I believe supper clubs are a new movement in food: promoting home cooking, community, cooking from scratch and highlighting women's cookery skills in particular. So I've sought to build a community.

This site costs money and it's maintenance is time consuming. I am helped in this by Lynn, Secret Tea Room, when I am too busy.

We work…

Myself and The teen did the books. 

Keep all of your receipts folks!

But I got Linda Williams of Bright Blue Skies(linda@brightblueskies.com) to fill out my tax self assessment form, give me advice on what I could claim for and what I couldn't.

I can highly recommend her, and she now knows the ins and outs of supper club finances.

Now looking for a book keeper. Although I have to say, it is an interesting exercise to find out just how much you…

Finally finished my first year's accounts. Those of you that are doing this as a business should remember to keep all your receipts and make notes of cash purchases. Register online for a tax number. Most self assessment forms have to be in by the 31st of January...

Worth getting a copy of Excel too, makes accounting so much easier. Still bloody boring though!

I'm off to New York on Friday and will be checking out some supper clubs over there. Check out my blog for my…
