One of the most exciting things about being a blogger is I get to meet some of the most amazingly creative people, people whose ideas, perspective and creative ability I find truly fascinating. They include stylists, designers, artists and…..caterers. Does that surprise you? I have to admit that until I hooked up with the talented team behind the award winning, Surrey based Kalm Kitchen, the whole idea of catering being this exciting movement full of creative opportunities, just wasn’t hitting my radar. Perhaps it’s because I’m not a natural born cook (I could probably ruin beans on toast), who knows?
What I do know is that since working with Kalm Kitchen for my book launch last year, I have been consistently blown away by this company’s innovative approach to wedding and event catering. By the way, this is not a sponsored feature – I’m not being paid to talk like this – this is a genuine attempt to pass on the way I have been inspired by the way one company is doing something brilliantly different.
