It may be grey, wet and windy outside, but the Pickle chefs have been feeling distinctly summery this week. This is thanks, in no small part, to catering at the Amazon summer press event held on Wednesday at the Vinyl Factory near Soho.
Loving the ball pit! Is that for adults too?
With no kitchen to speak of at the venue, or indeed access to running water, the event did provide some logistical challenges for us. But here at Pickle we love being kept on our toes and the excellent team of chefs and waiting staff managed to successfully feed and water over 200 journalists and 60 staff.
Lamb and mango burgers, A mouthful of summer!
The Pickle chefs provided canapés throughout the day and evening to match the summer theme; strawberry tartlets, pavlovas with cream and raspberries, sticky orange and pomegranate cake, griddled courgettes with lemon ricotta and slow roasted tomatoes and everybody's favourite, mini lamb and mango burgers with caramelised onions and rocket - yummy yummy. It got us dreaming about the sun on our faces and exchanging the big winter boots for sandals, bliss!
