Chocolate liqueur

Favourite recipe idea this week is for the chocolate liqueur. Love panna cotta? well add the chocolate liqueur on top. Perfect and simple.

Best seller of the day at the Yattendon Village event. Although it rained it was a great day, lots of people turned up. It was lovely to see Adrienne and Adam to. :-)

Breakfast Biscotti

Early start this morning! 7am at the Hilton Hotel in Reading to meet a great crowed of people and have breakfast and talk about business, how cool is that!
http://www.thebusinesswealthclub.com/
I went to found out what Business Breakfast Biscotti was all about. Emma met me and was really warm and welcoming, Steve was a wealth of Knowledge. You would have to pay good money in normal circumstances to pick his brain, but hey it cost me just a breakfast.!
I have always believed in social networking more than social media, now I believe in both! I still think it is hard work to keep up the two but I am going to give it a try. The only thing missing was the biscotti. next time I'll take some of mine. :-)

Thanks again

I am blogging away here and leaving out several very important people who are helping with the website. I must say how much I appreciate what they are doing.

The design of the website is down to Caroline who has made a fantastic job of it. The colours and quirky buttons work so well. I recommend her 110%, still waiting for her to finish her website so I can put a link onto mine, then you can all benefit from her expertise. Tel: 07887 530318

The photos, most of them are down to my wonderful brother, every time I go and visit the family I am asking either for some photos to be taken or printing posters. Check out his website: http://www.kgimages.co.uk/
Helping put the finishing touches and working very hard at it is Chris from: http://www.shepherdpics.com/

Thanks, Deborah

Truffle Salt on PopCorn

Sale day at HSBC Bank Canary Wharf.
After a disastrous journey to the HSBC bank I managed to get myself together and sell a few products!
I do however have to sell a lot of pasta and biscuits to pay for the table!
The great thing was I had some return customers and some new ones. I met Tammy who really appreciated the products and bought quite a few. One great tip she gave me was to use the truffle salt on popcorn, how cool is that!!
I hope she enjoys all the products. I was also told by another customer that the pasta was the best she had tasted and bought more. I hope to see her next month.

I can't take the liqueurs or wine there but I can talk about them and take orders. So anyone at the bank interested in the drinks please contact me via email.

My next visit to the bank is Monday 20th June, hope to see many new customers.

Farewell to my friend John Manning

Very sadly our friend and neighbour John Manning passed away last week after fighting a serious illness. Yesterday we had the funeral which was lovely and so many people were there to send him off into a different world.

This whole journey started by me giving John a hamper for his 70th Birthday. He gave me lots of advice and spurred me on.

Last night with his son Jason and wife Rachel we had a great evening finishing off the limoncello, we celebrated Johns life. They loved the limoncello which means I also have new customers!

Big toast to John, god bless him. Deborah xxx
