Quarantine Cuisine cooks up Live Demo Kitchen
Foodies from Chesterfield and across the UK have been promised a series of live cooking demos to be streamed by new Facebook group, Quarantine Cuisine.
Run by Chesterfield Champion, Edge Events Management Ltd (the company behind the Chesterfield Food and Drink Festival), Quarantine Cuisine has been created as a platform for people to share recipes to cook at home and to connect with like-minded food lovers.
The demo kitchen idea is set to take the group to the next level after reaching over 1,000 members in only a week. Filmed ‘alfresco style’ from a Chesterfield garden, chefs will conduct the demos in slow-time so that everyone can cook along. And chefs will be available online during the streaming to answer any questions.
So far the group has focused on interesting cuisines from around the world that can be cooked at home easily. As well as stage-by-stage photo recipes from Richard Alsop, one of the owners of Edge Events Management Ltd, members have also been encouraged to share their ideas and feedback.
Edge Events’ Richard Alsop comments: “It’s fantastic to have hit the 1,000 milestone with the group and we are excited for the launch of our cooking demos.
“Whether it’s just for you or for the whole family, all the dishes are designed to be practical, affordable, healthy and freezable; so there will be no waste whatsoever!
“The demos will be filmed in our own front garden, in line with social spacing. We have already spoken with production and chefs and we can broadcast these events without anybody coming within 10 metres of each other. There will be multi-camera angles and audio production so you will get a really high quality experience to enjoy in your very own home.
“The first demo will be by myself and I am really looking forward to showing you how easy these dishes really are to make. It will be my first time taking to the knives live on camera for the first time ever; so please do go easy on me!
“Prior to the demo, we will announce the ingredients you will need and we will give a full week to allow time to include them in your essential shopping list. We do not want people rushing out just for the ingredients; we still want you to be safe and only add them to your full shopping list.
“Once the cook-along has finished, we then encourage you to post photos of your attempts along with any feedback!
“The more, the merrier, so please do join the group if you haven’t done so already.”
The first cooking demo will take place with Richard Alsop from Edge Events on Saturday 9th May at 6pm, streamed live from Quarantine Cuisine Presented by Edge Events Management Ltd. Once registered, members are invited to suggest the recipe they would like to see Richard cook by commenting on this post.
